5 Things to do on Lanzarote at any age

15th May 201930th May 2019
lanzarote beach

Whilst it might have a reputation as something of a ‘party island’ (and it certainly can live up to that reputation if you know where to look), Lanzarote is also an island that features a little bit of everything and could actually be the perfect family holiday. This is particularly true if you decide to… Read More

Review: Solent Hotel and Spa with Caudalie

13th May 201910th February 2020

This week I had the privilege and joy of extending my Bank Holiday weekend by an extra day, because on Tuesday I was invited to the Solent Hotel for a spa day. There is nothing I enjoy more than a day being pampered, lounging around in a fluffy gown and chatting with friends. If you… Read More

Days out: Drusillas & The New Rainforest Carousel

20th April 201910th February 2020

Drusillas Park is somewhere we really love to visit as a family, as it has enough to keep us busy for the whole day, with so much to see and do. From rare animals to soft play with so much between it really is a great place for a day out! We were invited to… Read More

Brickosaurs at Marwell Zoo

16th April 201910th February 2020

A week ago the kids and I spent the day at Marwell Zoo searching for their new arrivals, all the Brickosaur dinosaurs! These amazing creatures are hand-made by a team of professional builders- out of LEGO! They really are very impressive and as both kids love dinosaurs and Arlo has just got into Lego in… Read More

Wanderlust: Top Walking Holidays in the Pyrenees

5th April 201910th February 2020

Forming a natural border between France and Spain, with tiny Andorra enfolded within their peaks, the Pyrenees stretch some 430km from their Catalan-speaking, Mediterranean east coast to their Basque-speaking, Atlantic west in the Bay of Biscay. In between, their high meadows, craggy peaks and deep gorges provide the setting for superlative walking. With frequent, budget… Read More

Days Out: Go Boat London

4th April 201910th February 2020
thames riverboats

London is a city that I think you can never tire of, there is always so much to see and do and it is ever changing – though thankfully there is still a lot of history to explore and learn about. Obviously the Thames is London’s most famous waterway, and I’ve done trips along there… Read More

Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall – Wales

15th March 201910th February 2020

In April last year we spent a week in Wales with friends and I don’t think I ever really shared anything about it because I wanted a proper holiday from work and blogging. Also Arlo was pretty sick for the whole week as it turned out he’d caught a parasitic bug from a petting farm… Read More

Standen House National Trust [Days Out]

12th March 201910th February 2020
Standen House National Trust Sussex

A couple of weekends ago when we were having that weirdly hot spell that just didn’t feel right for a February in England we headed out to Standen House, one of the National Trust properties in West Sussex to make use of our National Trust family membership. Standen House is a few minutes drive from… Read More

Wanderlust: Italy

6th March 201910th February 2020

Italy has so much to offer as a holiday destination from the long Mediterranean coast line to the historic cities. I think I could happily plan a holiday a year there for the next five years! But for now here are the areas that are top of my list. The first is Venice purely because… Read More

Travel: South Coast towns to visit by Train

12th February 201910th February 2020

We live on the South Coast and in fact I have done pretty much all my life but there are still so many towns I’ve not really explored with the kids, or at all in some cases! This year I want to take a few more day trips with them by train, we live right… Read More

🍰 Sam treated me to a big box cakes for my birt 🍰 Sam treated me to a big box cakes for my birthday, dropped off by a courier 🥳 If you can't get out for an afternoon tea then this is the next best thing!
It's been a very quiet birthday but after the year we've had it wouldn't have been anything else would it? I just keep thinking back to birthdays past, NYC last year, Germany, South Africa, the Alps, Canary Islands and Czech Republic... hopefully I'll be able to escape for my birthday again in the future! ✈⛵🚄 I miss travelling.

One from our walk on Friday, this church is in a v One from our walk on Friday, this church is in a very quiet little hamlet called South Stoke on the river Arun. 
We would've done another walk today (Sam had a day off today too) but our boiler is kaput and we didn't want to come home to a cold house so we stayed in and shivered on the sofa instead!
Also before you come at me for getting in the car to drive to exercise: we live in a flat with no garden on a busy road- we could walk to the beach but I can guarantee we would have seen LOTS of people on pavements on the way and then hundreds (literally -  the prom is so busy!) at the beach. Kids play parks are too busy too. We walked past TWO people and one cyclist in 3 miles on our walk)

Much as I love 'jumper season' I'm over this frost Much as I love 'jumper season' I'm over this frost. Our boiler sounds like it's struggling as it whines more than Arlo does when he hasn't eaten in an hour. Much like the rest of you I imagine, I'm feeling a bit numb and fed up right now. I also can't shake this cold/cough (been tested, not covid) and it's been lingering for 3+ weeks now. I fall asleep at the drop of a hat too, like a little old lady and find it hard to get up in the mornings. I just want spring time, normality energy and clear nasal passages IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?

I've been outside more today than I have for the f I've been outside more today than I have for the for past week. We've basically been hibernating since Christmas eve apart from the odd trip to the shop up the road. Today I walked round Devils Dyke with a friend early in the morning and then went to the beach in the afternoon for the kids to let off some steam. The sun setting was gorgeous and it made me realise I'd missed the sea as I'd not been in ages! Anyway, one more day at home tomorrow (inset day for us!) And hopefully back to school Tuesday but we'll see. For us its the right decision as my children thrive on routine, and I thrive on being able to work without distraction or having to try and teach them! 

Happy New Year!
