Simple pleasures – garden play
The weather’s turned a lot warmer recently, and apart from a bit of rain, it’s generally been dry enough to get out for some garden play and a mooch around. N loves being outside, and at his day nursery earlier…
Adventures
Our adventures out and about in the UK, on the farm and further afield.
Working our way round local play parks
N’s favourite thing recently has been going to the park. It’s great because it means somewhere to ride his balance bike. Yes, being on the farm’s great, but gravel drives make for a bumpy ride when the grass isn’t dry…
Meeting the dinosaurs at Natural History Museum Oxford
A visit to see the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum in Oxford with young children
A walk in the woods at Batsford Arboretum

Never one to miss an opportunity to cram as much into a day as possible, after our time at the Midlands blog meet at the weekend, I’d arranged to meet a friend and her daughter in Nottingham. In fact, she’s…
Review: Trunki Yondi neck rest
*Ad – gifted N loves his Trunki, and since buying our first one, we’ve been lucky enough to review a Moshi Monster version as well as a Paddlepak. The latter is used every week for swimming and always has comments…
