Barcelona is on my list of European cities to visit, and fairly high up too! I’m always drawn to cities with a beach, and Barcelona is definitely not short of a beach, with 4.2km of sandy beaches, divided into four main areas. But even without the beaches there are so many amazing things to see and do in the city, museums, art galleries and amazing architecture too. But I always try and find a few…
We’ve just spent the most chilled out weekend camping in Kent, and thanks to being one of Millets Outdoor Explorer families we did it in comfort and style in a brand new tent and with some great new camping equipment too. This was our second camping trip of the year and we have two more planned in August at festivals and then we’re hoping to go away again in September for a weekend once the…
I am lucky enough to have friends who live outside the UK that I can stay with, In the last 9 months I’ve been to Israel and the Netherlands to stay with friends, but one friend lives in Australia and we would love to go and visit him for a trip before the kids get too much older! He lives in Sydney, which would be an amazing city to explore of course, but there are…
At this time of year, we’re all starting to talk about holidays. Everybody is going off to Europe and coming back with a tan, while you’re still trying to keep your cool running your everyday life. And it can be exhausting. However, that’s often fine when you’ve got your own travel plans in place and you know that you too have a vacation coming up. But what if you don’t? Maybe you’ve skipped a summer…
If there’s one thing that we like to do as parents, it’s to please our children at any given notice. Whether it be a toy that they keep gawking at, or a DVD that they’ve wanted to add to their collection. Another way of exciting our children and keeping them pleased is by booking holidays that you know they will love. After all, isn’t it just the best feeling when you see their little faces…
As the weather is finally getting brighter and warmer by the day I’m getting excited about spending time outdoors and planning activities and fun things for us to do during the Spring and Summer, and expect quite a few others will be too! One of the things that is on our agenda for the summer is bike riding, we’re lucky to live a few minutes from the beach and also have the South Downs National…
We spent a week of our Easter holidays in Wales, via a day and night in Gloucester, and we were lucky enough to have been given a Kia Sportage for the week to put it to the test; both on winding Welsh roads and motorway driving to see how it fared as a family car for a week away. The Kia Sportage is a great car to travel in, comfortable and spacious inside and fun…
We were so lucky to be invited to Paradise Wildlife Park on Saturday for the grand opening of their new attraction, the World of Dinosaurs. Now we’d not been to PWP before, nor any specific dinosaur experience so we really didn’t know what to expect. Our day was absolutely wonderful from start to finish, the kids loved it and we did too! I’ll start with the World of Dinosaurs but will share more about the…
