Thursford Enchanted Journey Of Light! People flock from all around the country to see the Thursford Christmas Spectacular. We’ve seen it before and it is a real treat, simply stunning for older children and adults and being somewhat of an institution I wasn’t surprised to meet a lady in my gym yesterday morning who was on a coach trip from up North to kick off her Christmas traditions with a performance. We chatted about the fact we were both visiting […]
Wroxham Barns – Christmas 2023! I always do say how wonderful I think Wroxham Barns is, and for their 2023 Christmas Experience offering my opinion is firmly cemented. They go ALL OUT, at ALL times of the year, but Christmas is something else! Raffie couldn’t decide at Halloween if he prefers spooky season or festive on the farm, “they’re both TOO good!” he said, but now that we’re steam rollering to Christmas, with just one month to go, having visited […]
Skyes The Limit With The PAW PATROL: Mighty Movie Toys!

This week I’m able to tell you a little more in depth about some of them after we’ve been busy playing at home with a selection. One of my favourites from the show and again, […]

Russell Hobbs Satisfry Snappi Dual Basket Air Fryer! I saw the Russell Hobbs Satisfry Dual Basket Air Fryer when I attended the Christmas in July press show and was bowled over by the amazing cookery the chefs were creating using just this very economical on energy little gadget. A full Christmas dinner was presented to me having been cooked in the machine which has dual baskets that can be switched up to create one large on and I thought then, […]
Books2Door For Christmas 2023! The greatest gifts are always going to be books for a multitude of reasons: You can find something for everyone, they are environmentally friendly as can be passed on and on and on, books invite imagination, educationally even a very non-educational book gifts learning in the reading, reading promotes happiness and calm, reading offers a life skill, books to read yourself are exciting but books to read to children can be even more so, they are […]
Wonderbly Do It Again And It’s Not Just For Kids! I’m a huge fan of the Wonderbly books and we have a lovely little growing collection for the children. Special books to keep forever with not just sweet little stories but actually a really personal element too. I find with a lot of personalised books they can be a little underwhelming but Wonderbly seem to knock that notion well and truly on the head with theirs. They aren’t just doctored […]
Tonies Box For Christmas! When it comes to the Tonies Box I literally have nothing negative to say.

A small child like Posie knows exactly how to turn on, turn up, change, rewind or forward her Tonies box stories, and to boot, the individual Tonies that you buy separately (making […]
