Coral Reef Waterworld! My Dad lives in Berkshire and I remember years ago going to Coral Reef with my then little brothers but it’s been years and years since we were able to visit. There’s no really great flume pools near us in Norfolk however, so it’s always been on my radar as we love to swim and it feels like a real gap in the market where we live. We used to have a wave machine pool with one […]
Foodies Festival 2023! Earlham Park – Norwich! It’s been a decade since I worked with The Foodies Festival for the first time, back in 2013 I was invited to come as their guest and sample the delights they had on offer in Battersea Park and I have, since then, worked with them many times. However, this year is the first year I’ve collaborated with them in my home city of Norwich and this weekend coming is the weekend that is […]
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 […]
Imperial War Museum Duxford – Flying Season 2023! We’ve visited the Imperial War Museum at Duxford a few rimes now, both as a regular day trip visitor (which was pretty special) and to see the Duxford Air Shows which are really quite something else! The last one we went to before this past weekend was to close the season last year and we really did have the most tremendous day out but this year, for the opening of the flying […]
Pettitts Animal Adventure Park – Norfolk! I remember visiting (and enjoying) Pettitts Animal Adventure Park as a child myself and then absolutely year’s ago taking Florence with a new born Jimmy for their first and only trip there. I’m not sure why we never went back but for whatever reason it simply wasn’t on my radar and whenever people have mentioned it the idea hasn’t stuck. Until now… Friends were going this week and Posie and I joined them in […]
Funderworld Norwich 2023! We had THE MOST tremendous time at Funderworld Norwich over the weekend! The travelling theme park is here in Norfolk only until the 4th of June 2023 so you’ll have to be quick if you don’t want to miss the thrills at the Norfolk Showground! I loved the way it’s been set up in a giant circle and felt totally safe letting my bigger two (13 and 11) to go off together for a bit. That way […]
Funderworld Norwich! The world’s most portable theme park has exploded onto Norwich soil with its current residence being the Norfolk Showground. There until the 4th of June 2023 there’s plenty of time to embrace your crazy mouse, take your life into your own hands and ride the Sky Swing, or to take on your mates on the Dogems! From the team who brought Winter Wonderland to the East last Christmas, we have been gifted a brand new fairground of thrill […]
Pensthorpe For Easter 2023! Having been regular visitors of Pensthorpe ever since we had children we’ve seen many changes at the park. It has always been a wonderful day out for families, but over the years there has been tremendous focus on making it more welcoming and inviting as well as inclusive for all. Not only have the play areas, both inside and out become a real hub, a massive talking point about their brilliance, but activities on offer such […]
Wroxham Barns For Easter 2023! Look, I honestly cannot fault Wroxham Barns and yet each season, each holiday, year after year, they get better and better! As a family run business they are in a position to really listen to customers and action points immediately, and boy do they! At the forefront of Wroxham Barns’ ethos is family, from the unit within who own and run the farm and park, to the way they consider their customers and these days […]
Easter 2023 At Roarr Dinosaur Adventure! Since having our annual passes for Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure (bought for Posie’s birthday and she doesn’t even need one FYI as is under the height requirement for a paid ticket) we have been lots and lots. More than got our money’s worth as we’ve been at LEAST once a week. I bought them because I thought how perfect it would be to pop on down after school once the sun warms our cockles a […]
