Sharing Family Life and Travel
On Saturday 22nd of April 2019 we set off for a day at Barmouth beach with friends. Little did we know that that was not actually going to happen! After having to set off later than planned, coming across traffic, a bit of car sickness, crazy drivers in front of us and witnessing a car [...]

Recently we celebrated Dave's (my husband) birthday. In our family, you get to choose a family day out on (or the nearest Saturday to) your birthday. Dave decided that he wanted to go to Chirk Castle. It was a very good decision! It was such a great place! The surrounding views are stunning! Unfortunately there [...]
As a kid and right through up until now I have found the sky and the universe fascinating. No matter the time of day or the weather, I could just stare at it and learn about it forever! I have been blessed (or cursed....but I'm trying to think positively!! haha) with an appalling memory! It [...]

With the older 3 Freckled Faces all being in full time education now, me and number 4 have more time during the day to play....work, I meant work....hard.... A few weeks ago we decided to ditch the housework and all our other responsibilities and have a play date with some friends at the farm! We [...]
Charlecote Park is a National Trust place not too far from Warwick and Stratford upon Avon. Beautiful parts of the country! Charlecote Park has over 800 years of family history. 800 years! The buildings are great to look at and around and the views of the surrounding area was stunning! We met up with my [...]
Cholmondeley Castle Gardens is set in around 70 acres of land in Cheshire, England. Beautiful building and beautiful surroundings! We have been there a couple of times in the past, but it's been a while since we last visited. We went there recently and were reminded of how lovely it is! As you drive in [...]
You're either the kind of parent who loves Summer Holidays or hates them and can't wait to get them back to school! Either way we all need ideas to keep the kids entertained! Just before our summer holidays start, we sit down and write a 'Summer Bucket List'. Here is our one from last year: [...]
