On Tuesday I was invited to a really fun event up in London with I just Love It, a website specialising in personalised gifts for everyone and anyone! They were previously known as ‘Gone digging’ and have been about for around 7 years so are not new to the market by any means, just sporting a snazzy new name! Upon arrival we got to peruse some of the range of lovely personalised gift ideas, and…
Last Sunday we had the most perfect family day out in London doing touristy things! My love for London is well known but there are still more than a few attractions I’ve not visited, but now I can tick another two off my list thanks to 365 Tickets! According to my mum I turned down the chance to go on the London Eye (then called the Millennium Eye) for my 16th Birthday! What was I…
For my Mums birthday this year we went to spend a day in Lewes. I have been a few times before but never really done the touristy bits. We visited the Castle (well, what’s left of it) and also Anne of Cleves house. You can buy a joint ticket that gives you access to both of these for a reduced fee versus the single ticket price for each attraction. The castle has a lot of…
Last Sunday we spent the day in Hastings being tourists! We hadn’t had a family day out a while and Hastings is about an hour drive from us, long enough to not go very often but not so far that the journey is unbearable with two children! Hastings is a seaside town in East Sussex and is the heart of 1066 Country, close to the site of the Battle of 1066. Is it just me who…
Athena loves planes. Sam loves planes, possibly because his dad was a pilot. His sister works with private jets too so it seems to be in the blood! We decided to give Athena a treat last week and take her to see the planes at Shoreham Airport, although it’s actually Brighton and Hove city airport these days! We took a stroll along Adur River path first to ogle at the house boats! A few of…
On Saturday we spent a glorious afternoon in Hove Park at Funk the Family Festival, which is a one day music festival that caters for all ages! We all had fun and were exhausted by the time we left (earlier than planned due to a non-napping toddler, but who can blame her as there was so much to see and explore!) We arrived at the bottom end of Hove park and followed the beat…
Yesterday we decided to blow away the cobwebs with a stroll through some local woods, complete with added bluebells! Now I know there are woods a bit more of a walk away that are more like a carpet of bluebells rather than the semi-sparse spattering we saw today but they were pretty nonetheless! Leaving the house seems to be a military operation these days with both children, but we just flung the sling, a couple…
When I approached Lauren to ask her if she’d like me to guest post, it (almost) automatically sprung to my mind that I absolutely have to write about Brighton. Brighton is my favourite city in the world to visit, and whilst I haven’t exactly scoured the globe, I’m pretty confident that it will stay a firm favourite no matter where I go. But why? Brighton is a place where I can guarantee I will hear, or…
