Norfolk Museum’s Norwich Castle is where I remember going on the majority of my school trips and things haven’t changed much as Florence has already been on her first school outing to this fab museum with, I’m sure, many more trips to come! We also visit quite a bit ourselves because as Norfolk Museum annual pass holders it’s the perfect place just to slip into post shopping for a little bit of respite for the kids. They’re always happy to visit […]

On Sunday, after a fun filled day in London, we headed to the garden of England for an overnight stay before more family fun the next day. Seeing where my Mum grew up that evening and then visiting my Grandmother in her home on the Monday morning was high on the agenda and after a hearty breakfast in our Dartford based Holiday Inn (seriously the best value hotel EVER with breakfast included and a family room for four people costing […]

When you’re pregnant and can only have one drink every once in a little while for a treat you need to make it count. And REALLY count! There’s no point in supping on a can of warm beer or pouring yourself a cheap glass of wine when you could instead be drinking something divine from 31Dover.com and I have just the ticket! I just ordered some Tarquin’s Brilliantly British Blackberry Gin from my fave on line supplier and as with every order […]

Carluccios is a restaurant which, for whatever reason, hasn’t featured on our radar much… Until now! And now I’m not sure why we never really thought about it because this past weekend we had THE most fabulous family meal there and the kids absolutely LOVED it! Did you know that this summer (until 31st August) kids get to eat for just £1 in Carluccios when their parents order a main course?! They get the full kid’s menu of a starter, […]

This time last week we were en route to the capital for a day out and STOMP London was the first thing on our agenda before taking in some 20/20 cricket at Lords. The cricket was great fun but it was absolutely the show which stole the day and the kids haven’t stopped playing ‘STOMP’ ever since – I’m not sure that’s a good thing entirely but I am mighty pleased that we don’t have a metal dustbin with a lid! STOMP takes the […]

Just when we are going to have gone back to school and will be feeling a little down in the dumps On Blackheath festival is going to be cheering us up on the 9th & 10th of September! With headline acts such as the Fun Lovin’ Criminals, The Libertines, KT Tunstall, Travis, Jake Bugg, De La Soul and more this is going to be the perfect way to kiss summer goodbye and we haven’t even touched on the best bit […]

Mister Maker and his hit live show are returning to the UK theatre tour scene and if you’ve not booked your tickets yet then make sure you don’t miss out! We’re all booked in for the Lowestoft leg of the tour and can’t wait until the end of September to see him perform live! We’ve seen him before at the Lollibop Festival so we know that we are in for a real treat! CBeebies’ arts and crafts hero, Mister Maker’s […]

The Nut Job 2 hits cinemas on the 11th August and we here at Rocknrollerbaby HQ can highly recommend it after we attended a very special pre-screening of the movie at Warner Bros House this weekend! Following the first in the Nut Job movie franchise, this second caper sees Surly the squirrel and his pals save the day once again as they fight for the right to be animals in their local park. Something the nasty Mayor is NOT keen […]

I passed my driving test 2 year’s ago and it was the absolute best thing I could have done. It’s afforded me so much freedom and I’ve been so grateful that my Grandma gave us her car before she passed away as it meant that I’ve had some of that freedom thanks to her. We’ve had her little 3 door Corsa as a family ever since we had Florence and it’s served us well. Jonny drove it until I needed it […]

A few month’s ago I wrote a post about my best buys for annual passes in Norfolk. One of the passes I said was that absolute BEST value for money is the Norfolk Museums pass which for a family of four cost us just £85 and gave us access to 11 museums in the county. It really is such wonderful value, especially when you realise that you only have to go to three museums once each and the pass has paid […]
