Over Easter we took a family holiday to the Lake District. We stayed in a little place called Cunsey, pretty close to Sawrey (famous for being the home of Beatrix Potter). We were sandwiched in between the lakes of Windermere and Esthwaite (Beatrix said that…
We had a lovely week in north Norfolk in July. It’s our 3rd holiday there in 2 years – that should tell you something! We have absolutely fallen in love with the area – the beautiful coastline, how family friendly it is and how…
Back in the February half-term when we went to stay up in Yorkshire, we hopped over the county border over to Cumbria for a day and visited The World of Beatrix Potter in Bowness-on-Windermere. I’d always wanted to go there when I was a…
We managed to get away to for a little holiday last week. We don’t go away much but when half-term meets your big birthday (4-0 eeeeeek) then it would be rude not to? I quite fancied cosying up with the family, a lovely bath…
I started writing this a few weeks ago, when the new term had started, the leaves and conkers were falling and there was a chill in the morning air. Then summer seemed to have a final fling with the mini September heatwave so…
In the first week of the school holidays (which was the last week of March here!) we went up to Manchester for a couple of nights to see my sister and her family. I grew up in Manchester though moved away to go to…
Muslins are one of those multi-use items that you’re not sure how you lived without before you had children (sort of essential like baby wipes but with many, many more uses!). They are great for cleaning and taking make-up off when your baby no…
Before we started the journey home we decided to take the trip on the North Norfolk Railway (known as the Poppy Line as it winds through fields of poppies) that we hadn’t been able to a few days earlier. After we had packed up our car and…
On our last full day in Norfolk we went to West Runton for another beach day. The village of West Runton is a bit more off the beaten track than Sheringham or Cromer. I think it might be my favourite beach out of the three we…
For our second full day we headed to Cromer. Cromer is an old fashioned seaside town complete with a nostalgic inducing Grade II listed pier and a decent stretch of beach. We parked in a ‘stay all day’ type car park right opposite the beach so…
After a late start due Imogen being up in the night, we enjoyed the coffee, juice and eggs that had been left in our Welcome Pack for breakfast. We then decided to head to the nearest beach which was a couple of miles away at the seaside…
In the middle of September we had a lovely four day break in North Norfolk. A sort of continuation of Andy’s 40th celebrations and if it hadn’t been for that then I’m not sure we would have got away this year. I certainly didn’t…
Documenting more of our Cornish holiday last month; I did have a list of wet weather activity options to try during our trip but due to the amazing weather we never got to try any of them. We went to the beach every day!…
Crooklets Beach, Bude, Cornwall We had a little holiday at the beginning of July – a gorgeous, hot week away in Cornwall and a week off before then hanging out at home. This week has been getting back to reality and the holiday glow…
