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 […]
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. It’s a great price for the item it is, Tonies boxes are built really well to withstand the attention from small children they invite, and they just work perfectly too. 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 […]
Wroxham Barns For Every Occasion! I was at play group yesterday listening to some other Mums talking about how they’d ended up spending a small fortune at a pumpkin patch in Norfolk over half term and how unreasonable it all was. The place they’d been had charged them for the pumpkin (x 2 came to £12), charged them for the carving, the crafts and other activities and on top of that the experience had lasted only about an hour and […]
Christmas At The Garage 2023 – Norwich! Christmas at the Garage is known for it’s “My First” series which caters to smaller children, from babes in arms to school age their immersive, fun and often traditional with a twist performances have delighted my children over the years. they are a great way to introduce theatre to small ones as there aren’t any rules, the children can be within the performance rather than just watching it and they’ve really changed the […]
Dream Toys – the Top 20 Toys For Christmas 2023! Yesterday the Toy Retailer’s Association published their list of top toys for Christmas 2023 and I have to say guys, I’ve been visiting this press show for a lot of years, they know what they’re talking about! So, what will we all be queuing around the block, seeking out stock in Smyths and Argos for come this festive season? Well, get ahead of the game and look no further than […]
Christmas 2022! We had a lovely, lovely time off despite kicking off with Scarlet Fever for poor little Raffie who tested positive for the Strep A virus and felt pretty dreadful. He soon got better with antibiotics (thank goodness we could get hold of some) and we felt very lucky that he was back to himself before long. We had long days and late nights of having fun with each other. We went out to the theatre and ate good […]
Christmas 2022 At Pensthorpe Natural Park! We do talk a lot about Pensthrope Natural Park as it’s one of our most favourite places to be in Norfolk. As days out go, it never gets old, has something for everyone and most important has an incredibly inclusive price. I wanted to let you know about the massively brilliant price of the annual tickets to visit because they are just so inexpensive it would make the most ideal Christmas present. For just […]
