I’ve mentioned before about our attachment to the Watercress Line in Hampshire. Daddy P used to take his Dad there for their War Days events. I grew up in Farnham, so this was our local heritage line. We’ve taken Monkey a few times now, and seeing Bittern there last year before it went into refurb…Continue reading Enjoying the Wizard Express on The Watercress Line

Going in search of The Gruffalo’s Child #weloveforests
We spent a long weekend in Bristol last weekend to celebrate Daddy P hitting 50 on Monday. Having been stuck on the M4 on the way down, we really wanted to avoid a repeat on his birthday.

This year, I was determined to rectify that matter. We arrived in Cornwall early one Saturday morning and decided…Continue reading Revisiting Tintagel Castle 20 years on
A day of fun at Odds Farm Park
We’re so lucky to live in an area with lots of attractions within an hour away. We really are spoilt for choice really. The downside to this is that you can visit somewhere, enjoy it, and vow to return, and then find that 5 years has passed before you keep your promise! We had a day of…Continue reading A day of fun at Odds Farm Park
