Nozstock: The Hidden Valley Family Festival – Family Camping! This is one of the best experiences my family has ever had. We go to a family friendly festival every year but this one is big enough to be BRILLIANT yet small enough to feel really chilled. We’re not going back to any of the others now we’ve discovered this one! – Mum I chatted to on way into the main event one day. My main post about Nozstock is linked HERE (with […]

Nozstock: The Hidden Valley 2019! ‘It started when my Dad decided to have a BBQ just so that he could ask a band he’d seen in the local pub to come and play at it. His own band played back then too. It was about 50 people at first and then each year it just grew and grew. One year I got u the day after, because it was only on a Saturday then, and there were about 50 people I […]

Last Day Of Summer Term 2019! Well, it’s the last day, we’ve made it to the finish line and I couldn’t be letting out a bigger PHEW! I need those babes of mine home for 6 weeks and they need it to! They worked mega hard this year and deserve ALL the praise – their school reports were astounding! The reports: Jimmy got mainly ‘exceeding the national average’ with a few ‘working at national standard’ and aside from in P.E […]

The Coleman Mackenzie 6 Blackout Tent – Review! We’ve long been fans of a Coleman tent and last year discovered their absolute game changer of BlackOut bedrooms. With small children who like to party hard into the night but then still rise with the lark this is an absolute godsend. Before I even get started on any camping shenanigans I have to say that blackout bedrooms are the way to go whatever you’re doing – frankly, I need them in my home! […]

Seacroft Camping Site – Cromer – Rocknrollerbaby Travels – Review! My Grandparent’s used to camp at Seacroft in Cromer long before I was born and because of their love for this pretty gorgeous site, situated a ten minute walk from Cromer town centre on the Runton Road, I have, in fact, been visiting since I was a baby! Last year I took my children for the first time and we LOVED it, as did our pals who joined us, so […]

WIN! Twirlywoos Live tickets! We were lucky enough a few year’s ago to attend the launch party for the Twirliwoos meeting creator Ann and hob knobbing with the stars of CBeebies! It’s been a firm fave in this house ever snce and the toys which Jimmy loved so much have been passed to Raffie now as the baton of Twirliwoos love continues in the Rocknrollerbaby household! This summer sees the start of the new Twirliwoos Live show and to celebrate we have […]

The Swan Southwold – Mini Review! I have to say it’s not often that my Jonny is terribly romantic but he pulled a blinder out of the bag for my 40th birthday and took me away for a really beautiful night at The Swan Hotel in Southwold. I’d popped in to use the loo a few week’s previously when we’d visited the seaside town for the day and said how lovely it seemed. He remembered, (like this is immense in […]

Nozstock – One Week To Go! This time next week I shall be en-route to Nozstock Hidden Valley in Herefordshire. It’s a festival FOR families which is run BY a family and with its 20,000 visitors going back for more year after year the Nozstock family only gets bigger and bigger! I can’t wait! Glitter is potted, booze is on ice and the kids are almost at fever pitch (we are camping this weekend too so they are like wild […]

This Is 40! I couldn’t quite believe I was going to be 40. I mean I remember my parent’s having this BIG birthday themselves, celebrating with them and thinking man, they’re old! Now all of a sudden I’m here too. Am I old? Florence said of someone the other day ‘he’s old, maybe 35’ and then clasped her hand to her mouth knowing this would have pricked my ears up. ‘You’re not old though mummy, he’s older than you so […]
