Imagine taking your kids out partying on New Years Eve. It’d be fun right? If possibly a bit stressful due them being up late, having to put up with a load of drunken yoofs in a club and then waiting for ages in a queue for a cab home. But I am taking my kids… Read More
The week before last week we went on a UK road trip… I hate the term ‘staycation’ but I guess that’s what it was! Six nights away from home, three individual nights in different hotels on the way up north and then 3 nights in a hotel in the village where my dad lives on… Read More

Last Sunday I signed up to ramblers.org.uk and looked up a nice circular walk we could do as a family, and chose Slindon in West Sussex. We visited last year too but Athena was obviously not able to walk as far as she was only one and a bit, and there is an awesome pumpkin display… Read More
