Center Parcs On A Budget! Going to Center Parcs can be an extremely pricey experience if you want it to be but my mission, on our recent stay just after Christmas, was to have a budget trip in a bid to make our mini holiday thrifty yet still massively fun! And I think, with a few treats here and there (because it was still a holiday), we have managed this quite well. My Instagram followers shared some amazing money saving […]

So the skies are grey and very little sunshine is actually managing to penetrate through the thick cloud in the UK but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to wear my sunnies… For goodness sake have you SEEN my eye baggage?! My Mum has always said she’d never get corrective eye surgery as wearing her (proper) glasses covers her bags but just because I have 20/20 vision I don’t think I should miss out on this visionary (see what I […]
Happy New Year 2019! It’s 9am on New year’s Day 2019 and I haven’t felt this clear headed on this date in about 9 years… I think the last alcohol free new year’s for me was the year Florence was born at twenty to midnight not leaving much time for boozing. This year I don’t have any exciting reasons other than being a bit boring perhaps?! In my defence we had the most sick bug fuelled Christmas ever and it […]

The Keepers Daughter Present A Christmas Carol At Biddy’s Tea Room – Norwich! Immersive theatre for children is a bit of a thing for me! I blooming love it (as you will have gathered if you’ve been reading any of my theatre reviews lately) and anything a little bit different and a smidge more friendly than a huge theatre for a child is right up my street. I don’t personally find taking my children to a big theatre a daunting […]
Bourgee Arrives In Norwich! A brand new restaurant opened in Norwich last week serving steak, lobster and cocktails (among other things) and I was invited to the launch party – Oh yes please! Only… Oh no… Jimmy got a sickness bug, passed it around a bit and my invitation had to sadly be declined. I watched on social media as my fellow Norwich bloggers tucked into the divine looking canapes and supped on Champagne thinking darn it… And Man, that […]
Aladdin Pantomime 2018 – Norwich Theatre Royal! Pantomime… It’s a bit like Marmite I’m afraid, you’ll either love it or… But however you feel there’s no denying the place panto has in British history and from the traditions of the actual performance: Slapstick, musical, comedy. And the characters: Principle boy is a girl while the dame is a man in drag. The style: Risqué, full of innuendos and basking in audience participation – to the very real fact that this […]
Past Present And Future! There’s a photograph of me, my Mum and a baby Florence sat in my Grandma’s garden under a dappled summer’s light. It’s not a good quality photograph, probably taken on someone’s phone, but one which always stops me in my tracks. My Grandma became ill when I was 30 weeks pregnant and passed away weeks later. Florence never got to meet her. Sitting in that garden, on that day when we went to have a final moment, a final tidy and a final farewell before her […]
