We have recently visited the wonderful Ullswater in the Lake District. Have you ever been? It is such a beautiful part of the country. We stayed for the weekend and enjoyed a great day with Ullswater Steamers and visited Lowther Castle and Gardens. There is so much to see and do – we didn’t even…
Here we are again with our June round-up. Where has that last month gone? Time just seems to be galloping along, doesn’t it !? That old saying is so true – time really does fly when you are having fun. June has been another busy month for us. I feel like we are really making…
We have just returned from a fabulous weekend exploring Ullswater. The kids have gone to bed with weathered cheeks, sand in their hair and I have just emptied the water and pebbles out of their wellies. Definitely a sign of a successful and fun weekend, don’t you think? We arrived in Ullswater on Friday night…

Wow – where are these months going? Already I am writing up our May 2017 round-up. Time is passing so quickly, I sometimes wish I could stand and freeze time for just a second. We have been so busy lately, but I do enjoy a busy and chaotic life. I always think it’s a sign of…
Stonehenge has always fascinated me. You can see the imposing monument as you drive through the English Countryside; located in the county of Wiltshire, its grand stones stand impressively and draw you in to stop and take a look. Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument, a world heritage sight, and one of the best known prehistoric monuments in Europe.[1]…

WeeRide Classic Bike Seat REVIEW. Take a ride with me……… Pre kiddies, myself and Mr S thought nothing of a lovely Sunday afternoon bike ride to blow the cobwebs away. I am sad to say that we have not really managed to get out on the bikes that much since our little ones arrived, but…
I have a thing for a Beautiful rugged beach….with rock pools and shells a plenty. This is Yellowcraig beach, Scotland. You can just see the 1885 lighthouse on Fidra Island – the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson famous tale Treasure Island. I think this may be one of my favourite beaches that we have visited…
We have had rather a quiet March. I love to plan, but I equally think sometimes it is nice to go with the flow and take each day as it comes. February was really quite busy for us with days out and family life in general. Don’t get me wrong…..I enjoy busy. I joke that our…
Looking out of my window this morning I spotted a glimpse of sunshine which meant only one thing…fresh air and adventures. Okay.. I think I was making it up. The moment we had a picnic packed and loaded the car there was nothing left but a grey sky and a hint of a black rain cloud…
I feel that I blinked and the end of February has come around so very quickly. I really don’t like how quickly time passes, but I am equally enjoying watching our beautiful boy reaching new milestones, and seeing our gorgeous girls growing up right before our eyes. I started to write a monthly round up last…
When we were invited along to visit the World of Wedgwood, Staffordshire – I won’t lie – I was a little bit excited. I have been wanting to visit for some time now, and I was looking forward to seeing what family fun could be had. It is February half term, and the weather has…

With over 800 years of history and home of the famous William Shakespeare, Stratford -upon- Avon is a beautiful town in the West Midlands with so much to see and do with little ones. Visiting the Butterfly Farm We do love our…

I know January can bring about the blues for many, but I actually love the calm and peace that January seems to bring. I have to say, although December is one of my favourite months, I also find it hectic with all the rushing about, school events, Christmas shopping, parties and so on. For me, January…
Happy New Year to you all! So I have been following some really A M A Z I N G blogs just lately, and there has been a lot of 2017 goals and resolutions flying around, so I thought it would be fun to have a think about my own goals and hopes for 2017.…
London. We never tire of visiting you. Your twinkling lights and elaborate shop window displays at Christmas always fill us with joy every year. Jumping on the train at the busy underground station never fails to send the girls into excited frenzies. We never tire of sitting in a busy coffee shop on Oxford street…
