Days out, events, trips and places to visit mostly in the UK, on Bubbablue and me
It’s taken a few false starts – the weather was against me with torrential rain the first time I had a National Trust slot, then the second time N was ill and wasn’t leaving the house. But finally at the…
We’re lucky living here, as there’s so many places to visit animals in the UK. I think my love of visiting wildlife parks and zoos was started way back when I lived in Windsor and we used to have season…
While N isn’t always a big fan of National Trust visits, when we’re on a full day out and he’s had a good morning, he’s more open to multiple visits. We do usually visit places in the morning to avoid…
It’s not often that N is so complimentary about a day out, but Imperial War Museum at Duxford shot right up to the top of his day’s out list. On a recent stay in Cambridge we headed to Duxford the…

Considering I wasn’t a history fan at school, I do enjoy living museums and looking back at old streets and houses. We’ve been to Black Country Living Museum in the past and I really wanted to visit Blists Hill Victorian…
We love a day out whether it’s just a weekend day popping out somewhere, or a day out while on holiday. I’m reliving my childhood visiting around the UK, near home and further away, and love sharing it with N….
I’ve not been to watch tennis since I was at 6th form and we visited Queens Club as a school tennis team. We watched Jeremy Bates beating Boris Becker, and saw Tim Henman, who was then just a rising star,…
