We’ve packed a lot into July despite a lot of illnesses. The weather has been mixed too. We’ve had plenty of sunny days as well as some rainy days. We started the month at my friend’s house warming party on a very sunny Saturday. The kids enjoyed playing on a bouncy castle whilst we chatted, […]

We were invited at the weekend to visit and review Blackpool sea life centre. I still remember visiting as a child, particularly the ocean tunnel so I jumped at the chance to take my girls. We started our visit in the new rockpool area. Here you get the chance to touch creatures such as starfish, […]

Back in March, we visited Eureka! in Halifax, West Yorkshire. I grew up in West Yorkshire and my family still live there so we often revisit places I remember from my childhood. I think we only visited Eureka once and I was probably at the upper end of the suitable age range. Nether the less, […]

Hare Hill is a small National Trust site but don’t let its size put you off visiting. In fact with young children it’s size is a positive thing. It is a small woodland and beautiful walled garden in Cheshire. There is a walled garden in the centre which is well maintained. It’s the perfect place […]

How was your Easter? We spent our Easter weekend in Anglesey. We are fortunate to be able to visit Anglesey a few times a year since my in-laws have a caravan there. It’s such a lovely part of the country and perfect for families. We travelled down Friday morning and unfortunately, the weather was not […]

Windermere lake cruises offer quite a […]

Wray Castle is a National Trust property located next to lake Windermere. It one of my favourite things to do with children in the Lake District. This is not your typical national trust property though. It is a mock gothic castle, full of fun things for children to do. The castle is a little tired, […]
