Days out with kids
Zoos and other places to visit animals in the UK
We’re lucky living here, as there’s so many places to visit animals in the UK. I think my love of visiting wildlife parks and zoos was started way back when I lived in Windsor and we used to have season…
A day out at National Trust’s Wimpole Hall and Home Farm
While N isn’t always a big fan of National Trust visits, when we’re on a full day out and he’s had a good morning, he’s more open to multiple visits. We do usually visit places in the morning to avoid…
Seeing Concorde at Imperial War Museum Duxford
It’s not often that N is so complimentary about a day out, but Imperial War Museum at Duxford shot right up to the top of his day’s out list. On a recent stay in Cambridge we headed to Duxford the…
Exploring Cambridge and Museum of Cambridge visit
We love having a few days away and the latest involved a road-trip for some hotel reviews, where we managed to get a couple of days exploring in and around Cambridge. It’s been many years since I’ve been in Cambridge…
Exploring engineering at Enginuity, Coalbrookdale
Over the holidays I had to get us out the house. This time we decided to visit Blists Hill Victorian Town (my request) and Enginuity (N’s preferred choice, and a way to get him to agree to Blists Hill). It’s…
Go back in time at Blists Hill Victorian Town
Considering I wasn’t a history fan at school, I do enjoy living museums and looking back at old streets and houses. We’ve been to Black Country Living Museum in the past and I really wanted to visit Blists Hill Victorian…
Family days out in the Lake District and Cumbria
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….
MyWorld Champions Tennis at the Royal Albert Hall
I’ve not been to watch tennis since I was at 6th form and we visited Queens Club as a school tennis team. We watched Jeremy Bates beating Boris Becker, and saw Tim Henman, who was then just a rising star,…
Blenheim Palace Christmas – Alice in the Palace
I love going on light trails at Christmas, but this year we haven’t booked on any. N refused to go to Blenheim Palace, even if it was just the outside trail, and also said no to Waddesdon, our other usual…
Loving rides at Drayton Manor theme park and zoo
It’s been years since I’ve been to a proper theme park, but over half term we decided to head to Drayton Manor theme park and zoo. We’d taken my sister in law and the youngest nephew – it’s always nice…
