On Saturday we got to have the perfect day out for us, one that involved Lego and wild animals. What more can you ask for? We got to spend time exploring the Great Brick Safari at Twycross Zoo which opened that day, and is now running until 7th January 2019. The zoo in Warwickshire can be…Continue reading Exploring the Great Brick Safari at Twycross Zoo (invited to review)

Running free at Upton House
We had a fun-filled half term week filled with adventures which started on the Sunday as my son was running free at Upton House.

We were actually meant to be spending the day somewhere else entirely,…Continue reading Running free at Upton House

I’ll be writing about both museums in a future post, but with…Continue reading An afternoon at Hatton Locks

It’s a picturesque drive through Oxfordshire and Warwickshire countryside and one I’ve always enjoyed. But I guess like a lot of people, I rarely veer off the main road,…Continue reading The Peacock at Oxhill
