We have been visiting the lake district in October, most years, for a good few years now. Before we had Children we would stay in bed and breakfasts in Ambleside or Keswick. We once even camped in pods near Windermere (very cold in October). Since the ladybird was born we have been staying in self-catering […]

We love having fun packed family days out as well as UK holidays. Here you’ll my recommendations for the best places to visit with your family across the UK. We’re based in the North West so I have a lot of content for this area but also other areas of the UK from our travels.
A few weeks back we took a trip to Coombes valley, a RSPB reserve in Staffordshire. It’s somewhere we’ve been meaning to visit for a long time. So long that I can no longer remember how I heard about it. The main reason we visited was for the play trail which I thought my edlest […]

One very cold Sunday morning a few weeks back we decided to take a drive over to Crosby beach and see Antony Gormley’s Another space. This is an installation of iron men sculptures on the beach. I’d been suggesting we visit for what feels like forever but we never got round to it. This particular […]

Last weekend we spent 3 amazing days camping at our first family festival. We attended the Just So festival at the Rode Hall Estate in Cheshire. I’m not sure when I first heard of Just So, probably when I started reading parenting blogs when I was pregnant, 3 years ago but ever since I have […]

We stayed on a fantastic site near Llandudno called Plas farm and considering the summer we have had, the weather wasn’t too bad. We had some showers, some sunny spells but lots of wind! The campsite was […]

The ladybird is fascinated by airplanes at the moment. We are about 20 minutes from Manchester airport, so not surprisingly we spot a good number flying over our house when we are in the garden. The ladybird always points them out and shouts aeroplane excitedly. We also pretend to be aeroplanes, running round the garden […]

What gorgeous weather we enjoyed this Easter weekend. It was F’s first Easter and what a lovely one it was. We are very lucky that my husband’s parents have a lovely static caravan on Anglesey & we spent Easter weekend with them there. Planning to make the most of my husbands 4 days off work […]
Today I am going to share one of my favourite places with you. Please don’t all rush there at once though, as part of its charm is the tranquillity. You know those relaxations where you are asked to imagine yourself lying on a beach, listening to the waves lapping at the shore? well, this is where […]
We are just back from spending a few days in Anglesey. Whilst we were there we visited The Dingle in Llangefni for a lovely short walk which I would like to share with you. The Dingle is a woodland nature reserve with a 1.5 mile circular walk which is suitable for buggies (we do not […]
