Victorian Family Christmas at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse! Long fans of Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse we visit many times throughout the year using our annual pass (which for a family of two adults and as many children as you’d like to take on any given day costs just under £100 – for ALL of the Norfolk Museums of which Gressenhall is included). We go to as many event days as we can (because they are mostly included in the pass […]
Thursford Christmas Spectacular 2019! I almost don’t know where to begin with this review? My mind’s racing this way and that not wanting to miss a thing in the exact same way I didn’t know which way to turn next while actually watching the Thursford Christmas Spectacular. I mean, I’d heard it’s breathtaking and I knew that every year coach loads of folks travel from all over the country to see this unmissable moment in festive theatre, but really I […]
SKATE At Somerset House – 2019! We’ve not been to the opening of SKATE at Somerset House for the past couple of years and we’ve really missed it. Raffie being born a couple of weeks before put us out for 2017 and then last year we were otherwise engaged but the children have never let me forget it – so this year the opening press event went into the diary as soon as the invitation arrived and today was the day […]
How to Have a Stress-Free Family Day Trip Although travelling with children can be challenging, experts highly recommend it because of its numerous benefits. For one, holidays, even day trips, can advance brain development in children. The Telegraph explains this is because you exercise your children’s “PLAY” and “SEEKING” systems, two genetically ingrained systems in the brain that generally do not get exercised at home. Your children’s concentration skills also increase when you go on family holidays, especially when you […]
Smug Mug Pot Noodle – Recipe! I’ve got a bit of a smug mug with my new noodle recipes and I just had to share them so that your mug can get as smug as mine! For a healthy but filling lunch I found myself buying rather expensive healthy versions of a pot noodle, you know the ones… Itsu do a range amongst others but actually… They were racking up a bit more of a bill than I’d like when […]
Halloween Half Term 2019! Another lovely holiday away from school has been had and it’s back to earth with a bump for us now as poor little Raffie is the first down in what I can only assume will be a domino run of vommageddon… Still, at least it didn’t happen in half term! We had the most brilliant time, the first in which we’ve had Jonny home, although he did have to study for a lot of it and […]
Pensthorpe Natural Park – October 2019! We love Pensthorpe Natural Park all year round but October and the Trick or Tweat Spooktacular (running until the 3rd of November 2019) they put on every year is always my most favourite time to be there. I think it might be because the first time we ever went was over the Halloween Half Term and that was such a special visit, discovering this wonderful place for the first time (it must have been […]
Sandringham Knee High Boots From Hotter Shoes! With any shop on the high street we won’t and can’t like everything for sale because we, as people, are all different. We like different things, we wear different things and we buy different things to each other. If we were all wearing the same things then it would all be a bit boring huh! But a shop selling clobber of course knows this and would mostly want to appeal to as many […]
A Shaun The Sheep Themed Birthday Party! My baby boy has been obsessed with Shaun the Sheep, which thankfully is ALL on Netflix including the first film, for about a year now. He point blank refuses to watch anything else and woe betide anyone who wants to have the TV on and it not be Shaun for the obvious displeasure will ruin your viewing until you change your mind and opt sheep. Thankfully it’s pretty good for the whole family, […]
