We combined it with the trip to Wray castle which I blogged about last week and a trip to Brockhole (blog post coming soon). Find more great family days out North West here. Windermere lake cruises offer quite a […]

We’ve spent a lot of time with family this week. F was made up to have two grandmas come to watch her swimming lesson on Wednesday and even more so when my mum stayed over Wednesday night. The week had flown by. For me the longest days are the days when I’m on my own […]

I don’t always theme the selection but at the moment they are all snow-themed so I thought I’d share some of our favourite winter-themed children’s books. It’s snow […]
