10 Fun Activities To Do Around A Fire Pit

We LOVE a Fire Pit! It's one of our favourite things to do. There is something about sitting outdoors, around a fire in the evening and spending time together......it kinda helps me to reset. The only bad thing about is coming in and smelling of smoke! I will put up with it though, as the [...]

Exploring Greenway Bank Country Park

Exploring Greenway Bank Country Park

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 [...]

Delamere Forest, Cheshire

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 [...]

Kedleston Hall

Our Welsh Wednesday!

Our Welsh Wednesday!

I was supposed to be taking the kids up to Scotland this week (half term) for a few days, but unfortunately we had to cancel the adventure. Freckled face #3 was poorly, and I didn't want to travel with a poorly kid, especially as it was just the kids and I. Wednesday morning came and [...]

Monkeying Around

So after a not so great week we decided that we were going to have a fun Saturday! We took a trip to Trentham Monkey Forest.  We had a school class bear with us too, so of course we had to show him a good time! The 'to do' list went out of the window [...]
