Sharing Family Life and Travel
Since moving house (and towns) last summer, we have been trying to explore different areas close by. One of our new favourite places is Greenway Bank Country Park in Stoke-on-Trent. It is so peaceful and picturesque. Well....as peaceful as it can be when you're visiting with 4 lively kids! It has 2 entrances and car [...]
Last Saturday we were going to stay home and do a bit of work on the house. We moved house last summer and still have no pictures up, have a few items of furniture we need to get.... and we want to finish getting all the rooms complete. However, late Friday night Dave and I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
We thought we would share a few of our favourite quotes with you. Â We have chosen a couple of fun ones and a couple of inspiring/motivating ones. We hope you like them! Let us know (in the comments box below) which one is your favourite!
Yesterday we met up with some friends who we haven't seen in a couple of years. We met up at a National Trust place in Derbyshire called Kedleston Hall. It's a neo-classical mansion from the 1760's. Wow!! It was stunning! Sadly the house was closed so we didn't get to go inside, but the kids [...]
Last week the kids were on half term (one week school holiday), Â so we took some time out and went to stay in a woodland lakeside lodge. It was a great autumn getaway! We found our accommodation on airbnb. It was a privately owned lodge in Fritton Lake Holiday Resort. Unfortunately we didn't find it [...]
Freckled Face number 3 has been learning about owls at school recently, so this weekend we decided to make some owls and go over things we know about them. The kids want to share with you what they did, so here they are! Conker Owls This can get a little tricky for the younger children, [...]
