Summer Holidays 2026 – Week Two! Second week began rather strangely with a first SOS from Florence at Latitude together say she knew she had tonsillitis but that the medics there couldn’t help. So we hot footed to Southwold (again, but no hardship) to take her to a prescribing pharmacist. Antibiotics prescribed and she was sent back to the festival knowing she’d feel a whole heap better within hours and then… We realised I had driven off without the car […]
Roarr! The Norfolk Day Out We Love… Even When It Drives Us Mad! There are some places that just become part of the family rhythm, aren’t there? The ones you return to again and again because they slot so neatly into real life and when somewhere embraces every kind of day: sunny days, drizzly days, days when the kids are bouncing off the walls and you need somewhere that can absorb all that energy without absorbing your sanity, well, what […]
Summer Holidays 2026 – Week One! I don’t think we’ve ever been more ready for a holiday and it seemed to be crawling over the finish line for the little two to finally break up from school, but we got there! After the big kids had already been off for a week and a half, taking advantage of school’s sports camp for Jimmy and dancing days at Pineapple for Florence, and after a mammoth and epic weekend for our annual […]
Wroxham Barns – Summer Holidays 2026! I’d probably say it’s my favourite season at Wroxham Barns whichever time of year we visit! The family who run it help the farm chameleon so beautifully into each with each school holiday, to match the weather and the vibe, that it’s very hard to not think “best day ever”, whenever we get home from a day there! Perhaps then, every season is actually my true favourite, but boy… Summer is glorious! They have […]
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 […]
Sunshine Adventures at Pensthorpe: Wild Rootz, Wildlife & a Half‑Term Poo Trail! A day at Pensthorpe in full sunshine is basically childhood bottled — wild, messy, nature-soaked joy with a side of ice cream and muddy ankles. It’s one of those places that somehow manages to be both beautifully curated and wonderfully wild, and this visit reminded me exactly why we keep going back – which we have been doing ever since Florence was a baby! Gardens That Feel Like […]
Easter Egg-Stravaganza AT Pensthorpe – 2026! It’s been a while since we visited Pensthorpe, not because we don’t love it, but because school has stolen Posie and gone are the easy days where an annual pass saw us there every week. I miss that, but to fnd the silver lining, I can confirm it’s even more exciting when you’ve missed it! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that, and to make a return visit during the Easter break […]
Wroxham Barns Easter Adventure 2026! Wroxham Barns go all out, every season, reinventing themselves to fit to the mood of the moment and it is so appreciated – we absolutely love the farm, the park and the dedication they show to making things spooky for Halloween, festive for Christmas and in the summer, oh the summer is just so wonderfully welcoming, with camping and glamping to run alongside all the regular fun that it’s hard to tibk if a better […]
Cinderella At St George’s Theatre Great Yarmouth! Modern, yet traditional all in one; a juxtaposition, but here we are, and panto is meant to be a bit bonkers so we have it sticking to form in Cinderella at The St George’s Theatre in Great Yarmouth for 2025! We were invited back for a second year running to see the pantomime offering at St George’s Theatre in Great Yarmouth, and for a second year running, and despite my deep reservations about […]
My First Panto – Rapunzel At The Garage Norwich! Having visited the My First series of productions hosted at The Garage for a number of years, we always look forward to the next offering. This year’s production of Rapunzel didn’t disappoint! Written and originally directed by the very talented Daniel Burgess, this version is a reworking of a show we have seen (and loved) before, but still just as gorgeously inviting for little ones! the theatre space, as always, is […]
