Days out with kids
Seaside visit to Cleethorpes beach
N’s experience of the seaside before this weekend was limited to about 10 minutes on the beach last August in wellies, before the rainclouds opened. So it was great that we were able to do a fleeting visit to Cleethorpes…
Out and about at the Banbury Show

Windsor visit

Easter Egg Trail at Upton House
After having had most of the weekend spent indoors due to various reasons or another, I wanted to get N out on one of the Cadbury Easter Egg Trails at our nearest National Trust venue. It’s not too far away,…
