Glamping at Wroxham Barns 2024! I’ve thought about glamping at Wroxham Barns for the past couple of years. We visit often to see the farm, and I’ve had a look inside the bell tents before and thought what tremendous value they are so it’s always been on my list! Now, finally for 2024, we’ve managed to do it! I paid £130 per night for a bell tent with all the trimmings (it’s £25 for your bedding if you don’t want […]
Pensthorpe In May 2024! Pensthorpe has been one of our favourite places to visit ever since Florence was a baby. It gifts the perfect day out with something g for everyone and Iver the years I’ve seen their offerings just get better and better. The play areas, for a prime example, have transformed in the last 14 years making Pensthorpe potentially one of the most brilliant places to take children in the UK. Be it an indoor romp in Hootz […]
How To Camp Better With A Large Family! While we are by no means the experts in the field of camping, I don’t think you have to be to enjoy this absolutely terrific style of family holiday. Is it hard work? Well, yes, in all honesty it is. It’s hard work before you leave, from the planning and packing (playing Jenga in the car more like) and it’s hard work when you’re there (with children at any rate – keeping […]
Suffolk Yurt Holidays Again! After the most glorious weekend at the Suffolk Yurt Holidays site last year, we booked again right away to return. I couldn’t get my birthday weekend for 2023 but as luck would have it my Mother In Law’s 70th fell on a weekend when they did have full site availability so we snapped that up and booked in advance for 2024 as well! And we’ve just got back from that second stay to celebrate my Mother […]
Summer Holidays 2023 – Week 3! We started the week by getting up bright and early (I’m talking still the middle of the night really) and heading down to Cornwall for 5 days of camping in Polzeath. We had planned August thinking it would be bright and sunny but, alas, the weather in the run up was anything but and we were very worried about it thinking it would be a complete wash out. Luckily the weather turned a little […]
Wonderfold Wagons Hit The UK! As invitees to the UK launch party for Wonderfold wagons last week, we felt very lucky indeed to be some of the first to see in person the folding wagons of festival dres which can carry up to four children on top of a wealth of STUFF! We very rarely go anywhere without our own wagon when tripping for the day as a family. I only use a buggy when I’m with Posie, for all […]
Coleman Tents 8 Position Recliner Chair! As you will know by now, we love to camp! Camping, for us, is a way of having a break away with the family, on a budget, without scrimping too much on comfort. I mean, it might not sound like the most comfortable thing in the world, sleeping beneath the stars, but it’s all down to the investments made when choosing your kit which makes the difference. Creating a home away from home by […]
Coleman Camping Wagon! We have used wagons over the years for camping but have had limited success. They have always started out as a really good idea but have, in practice, been tricky to manoeuvre and essentially not strong enough for the job. I’ve even tried buying a heavy duty garden wagon thinking even if it didn’t pull terribly well that it might at least deal with the weight of a tent but I have to say, none have. We […]
Campingaz Kitchen 2CV! Every year we get better and better at the camping malarkey which we love, but are probably still rather novice at. Every year I have a list of new things I must add to our kit (the camping washing line always seems to be on it and ALWAYS seems to get forgotten) and one of those things has been a double camping stove. We have the Campigaz Party grill which is extensive and great for cooking everything […]
