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…

We are big fans of Brio having already got the builder deluxe set and Lucas can’t get enough of trains so when we were offered the Brio Metro Railway Set to review*, I couldn’t wait to show Lucas. The set includes a train, 2 carriages, a station, tunnel, 2 people, a […] Read more…

The selection that arrived included Pasta Bolognaise, Chicken Tikka with Rice, Chicken Fajita with Rice, Salmon and Broccoli Pasta, Scrambled Egg with Cheese and Morning Oats with Raspberry. The packaging is very clear on the […] 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…

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…

We were sent a Maxi-Cosi Laika pushchair a couple of weeks ago to review*. I love it, I honestly wish this was available when we couldn’t go anywhere without the pram. The Laika is relatively new, from Winter 2018 and is an excellent option if you are looking for a full pram system or just […] Read more…
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…
