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

Disclosure: We were invited to a press event and gifted tickets to the Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharaoh exhibition. All thoughts and opinions are my own.   As a child I loved reading about Ancient Egypt, learning about pharaohs and pyramids. I remember learning about the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb, and the treasures found… Read More

Last year, Sophie enjoyed taking a narrowboat ride to go and visit Santa. It was such a lovely way to see Santa that I decided to do it again this year for our family time in December. Last time, hubby and Sophie had the last two spaces on the boat trip. This time I was… Read More

An autumn afternoon at Chiltern Open Air Museum

Chiltern Open Air Museum has been a favourite place to visit ever since the girls were babies. Since Jessica died, we’ve not visited it quite as often as we used to though. During half-term, we decided to spend an afternoon there and revisit some of our favourite spots before the museum closed for the winter.… Read More
