WeRChristmas! I LOVE Christmas, love it! The food, the lights, the presents (giving more than receiving these days even would you believe) and most of all, the time it gifts my family to spend moments making magical memories! What I don’t love, comes with a double edged sword, because it’s the decorating. While I LOVE the decs, having them up and being all festive in my home, I’m always slightly aware when putting them up, that at some point they […]
The Thursford Christmas Spectacular and Enchanted Journey of Light 2024! The Thursford Christmas Spectacular – Well, what can we say, other than the description “does what it says on the tin” and couldn’t be more apt in that! Thursford is a year long plan in the making, which comes to fruition in November and positively blooms until Christmas. Until the 23rd of December, usually twice a day, this enormous masterpiece of a show, which has been setting Thursford alight for […]

Christmas Holidays 2023! Christmas 2023, what a blast! Did it always go to plan? No… Was it always perfect? Again no. But it was ours and we made it pretty magical. Despite a bit of bad behaviour, sickness bugs, tooth aches, antibiotics, a trip to A&E for a trapped hand in a door hinge, a trip to A&E for a poorly ear, and cancelled plans because of all of the above, we loved it! Here’s our best bits including the […]
A Pinocchio Adventure! What happens after Pinocchio becomes a real boy? Or a real person rather, as the cast of “A Pinocchio Adventure” refer to him at their all festive, fun and immersive theatrical experience for children aged 5 and over this Christmas season?! Well, you can find out at The Garage this December as this sequel version, produced by the team behind the “My First…” productions (of which they also have an offering for pre-schoolers – read more about […]
Bitzee – A Superior Interactive Pet! Who remembers when cyber pets came out for the first time? Tamagotchi launched theses new, exciting little toys in the mid nineties when I was about 16 and though I was definitely too old for toys (too cool as well), I couldn’t help but notice them with the rest of the world! Funny then that a couple of years ago they made a resurgence and I was super excited to get some for my […]
The Snowman – Sadlers Wells 2023! As far as Christmas traditions go, making Raymond Brigg’s “The Snowman“, a Sadlers Wells production staged at The Peacock Theatre in London, one of yours is always going to be a good idea! It’s simply magical and no matter how many times we see it, we never tire. The magic of Raymond Briggs’s tale on stage set to a ballet theme is something truly special which leaves you feeling like you really are “walking […]
BeWILDerwood Presents Christmas! We’ve been visiting BeWILDerwood since Florence was teeny tiny, so now that she’s nearly fourteen we’ve seen lots of things grow with the park while it still keeps its same charm. There’s no flashing lights at BeWILDerwood, nothing mechanical (except from the boat of course) and with the woods as the backdrop being the inspiration for Tom Blofeld’s novels about the Boggles and Twiggles of BeWILDerwood, now, the stories are the inspiration for the very naturally set […]
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 […]
