A day out at Uppark House

A day out at Uppark House - Little Hearts, Big Love

We always spend a few days visiting my family between Christmas and New Year. This year we’d managed to catch up with everyone on Boxing Day, thanks to my sister hosting a party. Having caught up with everyone early meant that we woke up with itchy feet the day after Boxing Day, and a need… Read More

A winter treasure trail at Denham Country Park

01/01/201630/12/2015

“Where are we going today, Mummy?” is nearly always one of the first questions Jessica asks each day. Sometimes I can give her a definite answer: “preschool”, “Legoland”, “to the shops”. Some days the answer is simply “I don’t know yet” or the disappointing “nowhere”. This time though, I had plans for the day. “We’re… Read More

Birthday fun at the park

30/10/201503/11/2015

With Daddy being away on Sophie’s birthday, I decided against organising a birthday party and instead opted for a bit of an “open house” instead so that everyone who wanted to could pop in and wish Sophie a happy birthday. We had visits from Grandma, Grandad, Auntie Marls and the girls’ friends H and E… Read More

Outdoor fun at Apple Day

Every year one of the farms near my in-laws’ house holds its Apple Day – a fun family day with various stalls for local groups and charities, raising money for a local church. With hubby having a weekend off work (a rare occurrence at the moment!) and the weather being cloudy but dry, it seemed… Read More

Castle Rushen

During our holiday on the Isle of Man, we visited Castle Rushen, which is one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe. It was built in the late 13th century and was once home to the Kings and Lords of Mann. As well as being a royal residence, the castle has also been used… Read More

The Great Laxey Wheel

11/09/201522/01/2016

During our holiday on the Isle of Man over the summer, we visited the Great Laxey Wheel, which is the biggest working waterwheel in the world. It was designed by the Victoria engineer Robert Casement in order to pump water from the Laxey lead and zinc mines, 1500ft below the ground. The mines were closed… Read More

Langleybury Children’s Farm

28/08/201528/08/2015

“For the first time in forever…” sang Jessica as she ran down the hallway ready to go out for the day. Whilst it had felt like we’d been stuck indoors a lot recently due to the rain, I didn’t think it had been that bad! Thankfully the sun had finally come out again, and having… Read More
