Sharing Family Life and Travel
So you may or may not know that we are National Trust Members (I may or may not talk about it... a lot!). It's great for days out! Before the older three went back to school (after the Christmas holidays), we went to Biddulph Grange Gardens. We had been there before and liked it but [...]
We spent our last day of 2018 at Delamere Forest in Cheshire, England. We've not been there for a while, but always enjoy being there. It has a path so you can take buggys, bikes, etc. There are picnic benches by the car park and in the forest. You have to pay for parking and [...]
Hello everybody. I'm freckled face number 3. This is our elf he's been really cheeky. Here are a few things he's been doing. He has been eating sweeties when it was bedtime. We found him eating our biscuits. He was crunching very loudly. I told you he was being cheeky. He made snow angels in [...]

Today is the first day of October! Where the heck has this past 10 months gone!? I can't believe we are here, in Autumn, already! I'm not complaining though. I absolutely LOVE Autumn! Here's why... 1. Colours The colours that come up in Autumn are so warm and cosy. Does that sound weird?? When I [...]
If you have read any of our previous posts you'll know that we are National Trust members (in England). We have been members for the past 3 or 4 years now and still have so many places to see! We love it because wherever we go in the UK there is always somewhere that 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 [...]
