Planning a family day in York
*AD In collaboration with Hotels.com but all views are my own. Having lived in York for a number of years in my 20s I know what a great place it is for a family day out. Of course right now, we can’t go anywhere due to lockdown regulations but if you want to start planning… Read More Planning a family day in York
Six pram-friendly walks with cafes
I’ve spent the last six months walking around the Worth Valley with Seth in the pram so I thought I’d write down my most regular walks. Lord knows us mums need a good boost of the old caffeine and sugar so all these walks include cafes. Haworth Loop 1.5 mile Starting point postcode BD22 8DH… Read More Six pram-friendly walks with cafes
Glamping tips and top spots for luxury camping
I feel like I really should like camping, I love the outdoors and being in the open countryside, but no; I definitely hate it. Unfortunately the boy and husband rather enjoy it but after one awful holiday in North Yorkshire I vowed never to go again.Cue glamping, this offers the joys of an outdoorsy holiday… Read More Glamping tips and top spots for luxury camping
Five things to do in Dorset
Dorset is never a place I had thought of visiting. It’s a very long way from Yorkshire and I had never had a reason to go. Until now. With a tank-mad 13 year old it suddenly became the centre of the universe (it’s home to the only tank museum in the country) so after much… Read More Five things to do in Dorset
A day out at The Tank Museum
It is testament to how good The Tank Museum is that I’m actually writing this while in the cafe of the Museum on our second visit of the week. Now most people do not eat, drink and sleep tanks in the same way as my teenager. For him it has been an experience of religious… Read More A day out at The Tank Museum
Winter sun in the most unusual of places
I’m not sure there is a place in Spain, or anywhere for that matter, with a worse reputation than Benidorm. A haven for lager drinking Brits abroad, it is defined by its English pubs, high-rise hotels and rowdy clientele. The television series Benidorm does nothing to change the public’s perception of the place, showing just… Read More Winter sun in the most unusual of places
Literary giants, breathtaking scenery and cafes galore – welcome to where I live
Situated next to the picturesque Moors of West Yorkshire, Haworth is a small village with a big history. It most certainly would have been another forgotten Yorkshire village if an Irish vicar had not made his way there in 1820 with his children in tow. It just so happened that three of these children were… Read More Literary giants, breathtaking scenery and cafes galore – welcome to where I live
Short break review – Loch Lomond our Scottish adventure
In the dark depths of the Yorkshire winter while planning holidays I thought Loch Lomond would be a great place for a short summer break at the end of the school year. What I didn’t account for was that I’d chosen the only rainy weekend in a summer of seemingly endless scorching sunshine. But being… Read More Short break review – Loch Lomond our Scottish adventure
Thinking of booking a holiday? Here’s my review Kefalonia
My husband has always been a huge fan of Kefalonia – a small island just off Greece – but having an only child we’ve always opted for places with stacks of entertainment, discos and kids clubs. However last year we booked two weeks in Lourdas a tiny resort with just a handful of shops and… Read More Thinking of booking a holiday? Here’s my review Kefalonia
