I’m going to start this review with a confession: I thought Eurocamp was all about camping. I’ve grown up knowing the name – it’s one of those brands that everybody’s heard of, after all, and I remember friends going on Eurocamp holidays with their families when I was growing up. But, not being the world’s […]

Family: Christmas at Wyevale Garden Centre and Stockwood Discovery Centre
Breakfast with Father Christmas at Wyevale Garden Centre As weekends go, this one has been a 10/10 on the festive scale. On Friday we watched the 4-year-old in his first nativity at pre-school – he had absolutely no idea what he was doing, because we’d spent the previous week on holiday at Center Parcs Sherwood […]
Life: Shhhh, Mummy’s working. (Or how not to go freelance.)
Twelve weeks ago, I left my job of seven years. Well, seven years at the same company, anyway. I’d effectively been doing the same thing – writing and editing – for twelve years. I’d just switched from doing it for magazines, to doing it for brands. I digress. I left my job to go freelance […]

We had ‘Happy bu-day to you’ today, which […]
Travel: our day at Mead Open Farm, Leighton Buzzard
We’re officially on staycation. The husband has 2 weeks of annual leave, and I have 2 weeks left on maternity leave. So we’ve got 14 days to pack in as many family-friendly things to do as possible before we’re both back at work and reality kicks in. We had our main summer holiday in June […]
Travel: 6 Reasons We Love Higher Scarcliffe Cottage In Yorkshire
We’re just back from a mid-week break in Skipton, north Yorkshire, and – right at this moment – we’re not sure we ever want to holiday anywhere else again. Now, I realise that’s a pretty bold statement (and I’m sure we’ll change our tune soon enough), but the self-catering cottage really did deliver on all […]
