Chugging along at Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway
I always forget how little N still is, and so always book lots in both at home and on holiday. For me, a holiday is about getting out and about and seeing things, where the OH (and it seems N)…

N definitely takes after me. He loves leaflets. Anywhere we go he’ll spot them and pick them up, and then spend ages ‘reading’ them. The doctors surgery, museums, shops, sports centres. So when we stopped at the services on the…
I’ve refound my love of Warwick Arts Centre. It’s only 25 minutes drive from us and it has so many great theatre shows, concerts and exhibitions, we really should make more use of it. We saw Paddington Bear’s First Concert…

I love how children are really good at making friends easily. Or not even friends. Just other children to tag along with if the situation suits. Over the last bank holiday weekend we headed to Stratford-upon-Avon for the day to…
This year I was determined to find some bluebell woods near me. Doing a bluebell wood search online wasn’t really bringing up much near home last year. The wood near us had nothing although the verges nearby had loads. They’re…
