A return visit to the British motor museum
While we like to head out and about I do prefer to visit new places rather than return time and time again to the same. N decided he wanted to visit somewhere, turning his nose up at my suggestion. So…
Days out
Days out, events, trips and places to visit mostly in the UK, on Bubbablue and me
Random Cotswold days out and beautiful Bibury
It’s not often I do random days out, but having a full flexi-day off allows me that opportunity. I can tick off places that N won’t visit. This time I visited Greys Court, a National Trust property near Henley, then…
Visiting Grey’s Court in November
We go through phases of using our National Trust membership. Usually over Christmas we’ll visit a couple of places, and when we’re on holidays I’ll try and persuade N to visit with me. But at home it’s harder to get…
Meeting the monkeys at Woburn Safari Park
A day visit to Woburn Safari Park, seeing the animals on the drive through safari, on the walking safari and having a go at the high ropes
Play and woodland wires at Irchester Country Park
In Oxfordshire we’re a bit short of Country Parks, but luckily we’re near enough the border of several counties so can easily get to them elsewhere. This half term I found Irchester Country Park, just outside Wellingborough, and suggested a…
Enjoying soft play and more at Riverside Hub Northampton
Sometimes you visit a place and you wonder why you’ve never heard about it. We were recommended the Riverside Hub in Northampton by school parents, as somewhere that was great for children of any age. Including older ones which is…
Autumn afternoon at Banbury Fair
I’ve always loved the Michaelmas Fair, ever since we used to go as children. I don’t think I’ve got the stomach anymore for the more exciting rides like the waltzers or the rotor disco, but I enjoy walking round. The…
Kids theme park fun at Gullivers Land Milton Keynes
I have a list of places I want to take N to see, but he turns his nose up at a lot of them. I know he’ll like them once he’s there, but of course, the idea of ‘educational’ places…
Fun family days out in Buckinghamshire
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….
Beautiful gardens at the Eden Project Cornwall
The one downside about holidays in Devon and Cornwall is how long it takes to get anywhere. You can also go in and out of different weather within a short space of time. Unfortunately the day we decided to go…
A solo visit to Hanbury Hall Worcestershire
Some people would never dream of visiting somewhere alone, but I think it’s great. Yes, it’s nice to chat and have a drink and piece of cake with a friend, but sometimes it’s nice to just do what you want…
