Top tips for travelling on the train around London with the kids Ah yes, families and trains. Not necessarily two things that work seamlessly together, yet we still like to mix them fairly often. The thing is: trains are useful. They get you where you need to be on the cheap and you don’t need to worry about stuff like who’s driving or hitting traffic. That makes them pretty good for a nice family day out. The other thing, though, […]

New Year, New Me! I wrote just the other day all about our lovely Christmas and the birthdays – in our house the celebrations seem never ending – and we had the best time. BRILLIANT in fact! By the end, when we saw in the New Year with great friends, I knew some lovely memories had been made and felt replete in that. We enjoyed every second from the minute the kids broke up for the holidays, to the day […]

Tornado Springs At Paultons Park – Coming Soon! Gosh it’s been years since we visited Paultons Park but I can honestly say we all still say that it’s our favourite theme park of all time ever. EVEN Jonny who hates them has a fondness for Paultons and it’s easy to see why when I look back at our memories from there. Previously when visiting our older two were tiny and massive Peppa pig fans, Paultons is home to Peppa Pig […]

Snips Hair And Beauty – Norwich! You know, I hate having my hair done. HATE it. With a passion. 4 hours, or thereabouts (don’t we suffer for our beauty!) of at in a chair looking at myself under highly lit mirrors fills me with dread and I’ve never been able to say in the past that I’ve enjoyed it in any way. The results yes, the getting there… Oh no. Not a chance! It doesn’t matter how nice the hairdresser […]

Flobo Is 10! Ten years ago, a decade as if that even sounds plausible (it doesn’t), and my beautiful Florence Mary Ladybird made her entrance into the world at Whipps Cross Hospital in East London where I’d insisted on going home to after Christmas in Norwich with family. My labour had started in the early hours of December the 28th and with back and forth visits to the N&N we were given the all clear to travel when it became […]

Christmas 2019! I always think the run up to Christmas is almost better than the actual day… The excitement of it all to come and not knowing what the presents will be. I don’t know why but I enjoy all that more usually and the build up for us this year has been amazing. We’ve done so many lovely things with the children which my blog affords me, we are so lucky! Firstly, way back in November is when the […]

My Picture! I love photographs and digital photography has brought us such a long way. Photos in an instant, the ability to upload them wherever and whenever we like immediately and absolutely no wastage whatsoever. All of everything about modern day photography is an amazing leap but… There is a little bit of a but for me I’m afraid. Nothing that would have me back in a dark room wasting film on bad photography but a little ‘but’ all the […]

My First Panto: Little Red Riding Hood – Kings Lynn! I’ve talked about the My First Theatre series produced by All In Productions a lot because they’re doing such great things in Norfolk for children’s theatre! They’ve literally changed the face of performance for children in our county and I’m a little bit jealous truth be told. Their ideas for immersive theatre for kids, where running about and joining in is welcomed, is something I’ve wanted to be a part […]
