Eaton Park – a pretty park discovery in Norwich
Sometimes you want a breather on holiday. Usually I like to pace around from one place to the next because there’s so much I want to see. But while away in Norfolk, N wasn’t feeling on top form so was…
outdoor play
Exploring National Trust’s Felbrigg Hall
As children we holidayed a couple of years in north Norfolk, so I was keen to return to some of the places we’d visited back then. It was a real blast from the past although I tend to only remember…
Amazona Zoo Cromer – an educational visit
As you might have read before, I do like to cram in days out when we’re on holiday. We rarely spend a full day at one location when we’re on our own. Both N and I (although him more), like…
Howard Davis Park discovery in St Helier
Our holiday to Jersey seems like a lifetime ago now. Every so often I look at the photos and remember how good a break, and what fun we had. One of best and most simple things we did was go to…
Paddling pool and scooter fun in Stratford-upon-Avon
Despite us only having weekends to really do many activities, I feel like we managed to cram in a lot over the holidays. Sometimes free is best, and perfectly suitable for young children. N loves going to the park, and…
A ball and a half – the Wicked Mega Bounce XL
You know when you see something and think, what fun, I fancy one of those. Well, the Wicked Mega Bounce XL was one of those items. I’m a sucker for a good outdoor toy, and if it’s a super bouncy…
Micro Scooters rule – one boy and his scooter
Scooters have always gone down well in our house. N had a My First Scooter when he was 2, and hasn’t looked back, more frequently using my adult one if we’re out because he’d grown out of his own. But…
Making bike and scooter tracks at the park
N will take any opportunity to ride his bike. In the house, out on the farm, the grass, the yard, the road. He’ll be on his bike any chance possible. I find it really interesting that girls and boys at…
Rough and tumble – in the wars
As a baby, I never really thought N got hurt very often. Even as a toddler and being at nursery, there were only a couple of times he got bangs and bruises. Until his first couple of weeks in school…
Besties and boys day out at Conkers
A short while back my bestfriend and her nearly 3 year old son (my godson) came to visit for the weekend. After a fleeting visit round the corner to Upton House on the Saturday, she was heading back up east…
A fleeting playground and Canal Day visit
Sometimes kids just can’t make up their minds. I love going to the big events in town – there’s a good chance we’ll bump into people we know, it’s great to get out and about, and support events and charities,…
