Big kids soft play
Today we joined one of N’s friends at a soft play place in town for her 2nd birthday. N’s never really that fussed about soft play. He tends to head straight for the things he has at home or are…
Days out
Days out, events, trips and places to visit mostly in the UK, on Bubbablue and me
Christmas display treats
Day 3 of Advent saw us going for a trip to Milton Keynes to see the Christmas displays. Last year N was too small to really understand and wasn’t that fussed (plus it was really busy being on a Saturday),…
It’s a winter wonderland…with added rain
Today we had our trip up to London to meet up with a couple of school friends and visit the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. The weather wasn’t quite as wintry as would have been nice (clear blue skies would have…
Blenheim Palace visit with a toddler

One week off, one sunny day
Following the Jubilee bank holidays last week (poor attempts by us to take part in local village festivities due to living inbetween two villages – although I’ve been informed there’s a commemorative mug for N down at the nearest village),…
Soft play brings out the best and worst
It was a toss up today as to whether we went to a wildlife park or stayed nearer home and went to Rugrats & Halfpints soft play. Given the weather was a tad cold and potentially rainy, soft play won…
National Forest Adventure Farm
Seems like ages ago now, but around the Easter holidays we’d been quite busy meeting up with various online mum & baby friends. The last occasion was a trip to The Forest Adventure Park at Tatenhill, nr Burton. A friend…
