Travel and days out throughout the world, days out and hotel stays in the uk and France. Ideas of where to visit with children throughout the world
At the moment we are staying in a gorgeous gite a couple of miles outside of Villamblard in the Dordogne, France. We absolutely love it and I will write more when we are home but wanted to do a quick review of where we had lunch today. It was incredible and I love how the […] Read more…
Last weekend we were invited* to Down By The Riverside in Dolphinholme. We went on the Friday to camp and I’m going to get he bad out of the way now because I wasn’t impressed. There was one portaloo in the field we were in, no shower block or even a sink to brush teeth, […] Read more…
On our recent visit to Windermere we spent a day at Brockhole on Windermere. We tend to go every time we visit the Lakes as there is so much to do there. We set out from Lakeside Pier in Windermere on a lovely boat journey across to Brockholes. There are numerous crossings from Lakeside […] Read more…
We love trains, from the moment Lucas wakes up and until the moment he goes to sleep trains aren’t far off the menu! What better way to spend an afternoon when visiting Windermere than to visit Haverthwaite Railway. We took the boat across from Lakeside Pier and sailed across on a lovely spring afternoon across […] Read more…
What seems like forever ago now, in 2005, I went to India. I actually spent my 19th birthday in a children’s home in Delhi.

Anyone with a child that loves Thomas and Friends, will know there really is no better place to take them so we were really excited to see Lucas’ reaction.

A couple of weeks ago, my friend and I went to Ninja Adventure in Preston. I’m not really sure why we decided to go as we aren’t particularly sporty people but when invited* it’s rude to decline and it’s a great opportunity to try something new. We went axe throwing a couple of months ago! […] Read more…
On Sunday we went up to the Lake District stayed in Low Wood Bay in Windermere. Low Wood Bay is an absolutely stunning 4 star hotel that sits on the shore of the beautiful Lake Windermere between Windermere and Ambleside. We booked for the Sunday Saver deal which included dinner, bed and breakfast. […] Read more…
