[collaborative post] Family holidays are great experiences but they certainly can be expensive. If you do not think that you will be able to go abroad this year then there is an excellent alternative in a family road trip around the UK.

We travelled to and from Jersey last week on the Liberation, one of the Condor Ferries [we were provided with our tickets in exchange for this review]. We left from Poole and sailed to St Helier in Jersey which took about four and a half hours. There is a discount code at the end of… Read More
During our trip to Jersey, we stayed at the Merton Hotel [accommodation in exchange for this review], which took under ten minutes to drive to from the ferry port. It’s a large hotel with plenty of things on offer for guests. In fact it’s more like a resort than a hotel, including the aquadome located… Read More

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
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
