A Taste Of Leon – London! Leon is one of those fast casual spots you see dotted all over London, and for the most part it delivered exactly what it promised: quick food that felt fresher, more substantial, and a touch healthier than your standard grab and go. I lived in London for 15 years and always meant to try it but never did… That’s changed now and I have to admit, I will definitely consider it more now as […]
The Science Museum – Summer Holidays 2026! The Science Museum has always been one of those places that feels woven into the fabric of my childhood thanks to my Grandmother who took me when I would stay with her in London, and now into my children’s too. Every visit carries a little nostalgia, a little discovery, and this latest trip, exploring the new space gallery was no exception. The old space exhibition had been there for around forty years, so […]
Shakespeare’s Globe Tour – Summer Holidays 2026! Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre has that magical ability to make history feel alive, and our 50‑minute tour did exactly that. It was interesting, entertaining, and unexpectedly immersive from the moment we stepped inside. Raffie, my eight year old, was the one who’d asked to go fresh from studying a bit of Shakespeare at school; and I’ll admit I’d quietly wondered whether the reality might bore him. But no! He was utterly captivated, saying it […]
The Boardroom And Eric’s Pizza At Yalm – Norwich! The brilliantly vibrant food hall in the heart of Norwich, Yalm, is the place you can go as a group, but order individually from whichever restaurant you love most? We always have a mixture because we can never quite bring ourselves to only plump for one thing, but one of our family staples when we visit is Eric’s pizza. We love it so much, one time I went without the kiddos […]
Summer Holidays 2025 – Week 2! We had our last day at Wroxham Barns before heading home to a bit of down time, a day on the Bure Valley Railway, a weekend of football tournaments and thenit was off to Cromer for some camping fun at Seacroft – which is being run appallingly badly these days but we still had fun!
Pip and Posy at Blenheim Palace! Last week, for the start of half term, we were very kindly invited to hang out at Blenheim Palace and having not been before, but taking a look at their new Pip and Posy themed playground on their website, we couldn’t wait! The palace is huge and the things to see are so varied and vast, it meant we had to be really decisive over what we wanted to see so I asked a […]
Norfolk Tulips! We visited Norfolk Tulips this year for the first time! I was very organised and put a reminder in my phone for the minute they were to go on sale. I had an idea of the date I wanted (Gram’s birthday) and I went in prepared. I was lucky and got through straight away so that we could all go and visit and help raise money for their charity while getting to take pictures in the fields. It’s […]
Great Bean Bags For Summer Garden Fun! It’s beginning to be sunny and I am desperate to make my garden look presentable for the summer season. Of course, with three boys (yes, I’m including Daddy in this), the grass is looking pretty manky after long winter months of playing rugby and football on it and the space which could be a lovely place to sit is looking rather bleak. We have a good base in terms of the space and […]
Wroxham Barns Easter Adventure 2025! At £12 (for anyone over the age of 3), this all inclusive ticket to the farm and park at Wroxham Barns is one of the best value family days out you’ll find! For your entry price you will be invited to enjoy all the regular fun on the farm, with feeding animals, grooming ponies and diving into the soft play, as well as unlimited rides (and smiles) in the fun park, which includes crazy golf. […]
Wroxham Barns 2025! Why do I keep going back to Wroxham Barns? Because it brings smiles like this one, that’s why! And because this gorgeous Broads destination farm changes like a chameleon with the seasons, it’s hard not to find something new with every visit. We last went at Christmas for their spectacular which leaves me wondering why anyone spends money on something like Lapland UK, prior to that we’d enjoyed fireworks night, Halloween, summer fun with glamping and more […]
