Kimball Farm
We’re very lucky to have Kimball Farm just a couple of miles down the road from the hotel we are staying in. Despite what the name suggests, Kimball Farm is more than just a farm, in fact it’s more of an amusement park. It is most famous for its delicious ice cream and, as the...
Grocery shopping in the US
Grocery shopping in America has been quite a different experience to my usual shopping in the UK. Partly, I guess this is down to the fact we’re on holiday and partly due to that fact that you can buy such different things over here – a lot of which my waistline will not thank me...
Guest post: My day in Boston
Today I have a guest post from my 5 year old daughter, Faith. She wants to tell you all about our day out in Boston yesterday… Yesterday I went to Boston. I went on a train with mummy, daddy and Grace. First I painted a necklace at a craft stall. Then we found a fountain...
Glamping at Trevella Park
I’d heard of glamping a few times so when we were offered a 3 night stay in a safari tent at Trevella Park, near Newquay in Cornwall, I jumped at the chance. You see, I’m not usually one for camping – it’s the grass, it gets everywhere! But glamping is ‘posh camping’ and whilst it...
Summer Holidays
The school Summer holidays seem to have flown past! It seems like only yesterday that the children rushed out of school with 6 free weeks ahead of them, and now they’re getting ready to go back next week. However, we seem to have done loads and it’s not over yet! At the moment we are...
Happy holidays
This Easter holidays we spent another week down in Mudeford in my Dad’s caravan. I say caravan, it’s more of a mobile home – except it’s not mobile… Anyway, whatever you want to call it, we had a fab time and I didn’t want to come home! It’s such a wonderful area for a family...
My first trip to Borough Market
I’ve been wanting to visit Borough Market for ages, but every time I’m up in London I seem to run out of time or be rushing to get back home. So when Dale took me to London last weekend as a belated Christmas present we decided that we’d definitely plan it into our schedule. We...
Al Fresco Holidays – Young Travel Writer Competition
Grace loves to write – she has done ever since she was very young and at 3 years old started to write little sentences. Now she’s 7, I find little pieces of writing all over the house! Lists, dear diary entries, school registers and endless imaginative stories. So we were both very interested to hear...
Cologne Christmas Markets – Highlights and Giveaway
Following on from my mammoth post about our trip to the Christmas Markets in Cologne courtesy of Germanwings and 9Flats.com, I thought I’d share some of our highlights and I have a great giveaway too. Food It will probably come as no surprise to you that one of the first things I was looking out...
Cologne Christmas Markets (Part 1!)
Last week we were incredibly lucky to fly out and visit the Cologne Christmas Markets, thanks to Germanwings and 9flats.com. I visited some German Christmas markets several years ago and fell in love with them then, but never had the opportunity to take the children. Needless to say, their excitement was as great as mine when...
