Enjoying family time together at Hughenden

20/08/2020

Family days out have been a rare occurrence this year. I miss being able to just jump in the car and head out for a spontaneous day out somewhere. We’ve never been the best at planning ahead for days out. Now we have to be more organised; book days out in advance; make sure we… Read More

Our National Trust membership cards have been gathering dust for much of this year. It was nice to finally be able to use them and venture out for a day out at Cliveden at the start of the summer holidays. We pre-booked our timed-entry tickets online the week before. We had to arrive within our… Read More

Now that restrictions are being relaxed and some of our favourite places have opened again, we are starting to venture out a little more. Chiltern Open Air Museum is somewhere we always enjoy exploring and was the perfect place for our first trip out together. Sophie, Thomas and I enjoyed an afternoon out during the… Read More

We don’t often get the chance to spend time at the beach so we have to grab the opportunity where we can. I did wonder if Storm Ciara was going to scupper our planned beach trip during our recent weekend in Torquay. But the morning was a beautiful sunny one and we made the most… Read More

On our last full day of our stay at Coombe Mill – Boxing Day – we decided to head to Padstow. Grandma had expressed a desire to visit Padstow during our stay. It seemed as good a place to go as any, although the weather wasn’t especially inviting. Cold and rainy. But we had waterproofs… Read More

A brief visit to Lanhydrock

One of the things I love about having National Trust membership is how it gives you so many options of places to visit around the country without the pressure of feeling like you need to pay a proper visit to get your full money’s worth. It’s been great for stop-offs on long journeys or when… Read More
