We can never resist a sculpture trail and when we started spotting a couple of the Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail sculptures on our #JoGLEforJessica journey, we knew that we had found our activity for our day off in Glasgow.     Oor Wullie’s Big Bucket Trail is a Scotland-wide trail to raise funds for… Read More

All the fun of the fair

One of Sophie’s summer activities requests was to go to the funfair. It was surprisingly tricky to find out if there were any fairs coming to our local area during the summer holidays. As luck would have it though, a friend had spotted a funfair setting up a few miles away and we managed to… Read More

A train trip to the park

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make for a fun day out. A train journey, a picnic and a visit to a playground. Just being somewhere different.   It was one of those afternoons where we just needed to get out somewhere. I suggested a couple of our usual favourite outdoor places but Sophie wasn’t… Read More

A magical fairy hunt in Langley Park

13/06/201912/06/2019
Sophie wearing fairy wings and walking through the Temple Gardens at Langley Park

One of my favourite outdoor activities is looking for signs of fairies living in the woods. A little hole at the foot of a tree that surely must be a doorway to a fairy cottage. Little “elf hats” (acorn cups) discarded in autumn. Dewy webs on the ground – the remnants of a fairy picnic.… Read More

Two 40th birthday celebrations (mine and a friend’s) in Hampshire over the May bank holiday weekend provided the perfect excuse to spend a weekend in Petersfield, where I grew up. Most of our visits these days are brief day visits trying to catch up with various family members. Being there for a weekend meant we… Read More

A visit to the ghost village of Imber

16/05/201915/05/2019
The Bell Inn in Imber

Once upon a time, there was a small isolated village in the middle of Salisbury Plain called Imber. One day, the people who lived in the village were called to a meeting and given just 47 days to leave their homes. They never returned.     Just before the start of the Easter weekend, I… Read More
