Pensthorpe For February Half Term 2024! We are year round visitors to Pensthorpe taking full advantage of our annual pass which allows us visits even in school holidays! Posie and I regularly trip there during the week to have fun in the daily “messy mornings” held at the indoor play space “Hootz House” (all included in the entry price), followed by fun in the play area, gardens and wonderful playground, but in the school holidays we always like to go […]
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 […]
Popsa – The Easiest Way To Print Your Memories! I love to take photographs, I quite literally take hundreds filling up Facebook albums and my cloud as I go. I rarely, however, print them out. occasionally I’ll do some on magnets or I’ll get a few prints for something specific but choosing which ones (from the many) and collating them I find such a bind. I tend to put it off till Christmas when I traditionally will print my Mum […]
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 […]
Colonel Saab Trafalgar Square! When you think of a family friendly restaurant the automatic through is of fast food, something cheap and easy, nothing particularly special. Thing is, while those sorts of joints can and do often work for us, we do also really like our children and want to sample a little of the high life with them too. Why not? Introducing them to a little culture and bit more of a treat when it comes to eating out […]
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 […]
