We started Easter day with an egg hunt around the house which the children absolutely loved. They received chocolate eggs, little toys and treats. We decided to go to Bicton Park as we have a membership and there was an Easter hunt on. I expected to pay extra and for it to be a bit naff, but it was free,…
We spent the weekend in Plymouth celebrating Amelie’s and my birthday early. Instead of throwing a big party like we did last year we decided to book a hotel and spend some time as a family – it was brilliant! We chose the Jurys Inn, Plymouth as it was close to the shopping centre and all other amenities. My two…
We have just returned from a lovely weekend break at Hendra Holiday Park in Newquay, Cornwall. This was our annual Halloween break we do through the Sun newspaper, this year we chose Hendra. It was a really nice park with excellent facilities and fab entertainment, the children loved the Halloween disco and taking part in the activities. We were booked into a…
The weekend has whizzed by – again! We had a lovely time of pottering around and not really doing a great deal, I love weekends like that. The children have been really into riding their bikes so we headed over to Dawlish Warren for a ride along the beach followed by face paints and a run around. We love visiting…
We survived the first week back to school, I had forgotten how tired the children would be after a long day at school. We didn’t have any specific plans for the weekend as the week had been so busy. SATURDAY We decided to take the children to Exeter for an explore around the Royal Albert Memorial Museum as the weather…
What a beautiful weekend we are having! I’m so happy the sun has made a return it makes life so much brighter doesn’t it. I absolutely love blogging and recording events in my life but I do get overwhelmed by stats, followers, tweets, Instagram posts, Facebook statuses etc. I find myself getting swallowed up by social media and sometimes feel…
I know everyone is moaning about the weather but seriously is it autumn in August? It doesn’t feel right donning my Chelsea boots, check shirt and jacket, I love this attire but not during summer. We had plans to visit Haldon Forest today and go to the Orange Elephant for ice creams and a stroll through the meadow but we…
We had a slow paced morning on Saturday we decided to take the children for a wonder in the woods at Bystock Pools, Budleigh Salterton. I have heard so many local people talking about the pools but have never been myself. I thought they would be hard to locate but as it turns out they are right on the road…
What a cracking weekend it has been here in Devon, the sun has been shining on us and I’m happy to report that Amelie is well on the road to recovering from her illness last week. Saturday As it was such a nice day yesterday we took an impromptu trip to Exmouth beach, which is about a 5 minute drive…
What a soggy, miserable Sunday it has been in Devon today. We were not put off by the torrential rain, freezing temperature or black sky. Instead we set about exploring and adventuring as we had two very restless children who needed to get out and do something fun. We were very kindly invited to Torre Abbey Family Sunday, Story Stomps with Stiltskin, this…
