Webbs of Wychbold, near Droitwich is just off J5 of the M5. It's a a bit of a complex containing things like a garden centre, pet supplies, a hobby craft, homewares, a cafe and a food hall amongst other things. We had heard several good things about the Winter Wonderland there and decided that we'd … Continue reading Review: Webbs Winter Wonderland (and Grotto)
Knowing that it gets busy and there's a lot of ground to cover, and that Caitlin would require lots of help in terms of mobility... we booked Monday-Thursday, term time in the autumn-winter season. It'd be quieter, we'd be in no rush and as long as we did everything we wanted to once, we'd be … Continue reading Disneyland Paris
So.... the weekend came. We were heading to Kent. Why add Kent to our trip to Disneyland? Well the children had been asking loads about Mumma and Daddy and our pasts: where we went to school, college, university; what we liked as children; what we wanted to be when we grew up; which houses we … Continue reading A weekend in Kent
Queenswood is located just off the A49 at Hope under Dinmore, between Hereford and Leominster. There's a paid car park (around £3 I believe) and a building with a small gift shop, cafe (was cash only, but in the process of being able to accept card payment) and toilet area. Just to the side of … Continue reading Review: Queenswood Country Park and Arboretum
One Autumnal morning we found ourselves in Worcester, in need of breakfast with a strong desire for nature... so, we ended up at Worcester Woods Country Park. We went into the cafe (The Orcahrd Cafe) where we ordered toast and jam and, of course, some hot chocolate. The kids were super excited to make a … Continue reading Review: Worcester Woods Country Park
ARGH... we thought we had it, we really did... But despite being involved in the planning and prep, despite having it said to him over and over... because the Birthday Treasure Hunt was held on Caitlin's birthday weekend, Logan has gotten it into his head that it was her party and he's not allowed one. … Continue reading Confusion: Logan and birthdays
Caitlin was at craft club at our Gym. She fell over, and bumped her head. They checked her over and saw she was ok, physcially, but they aren't aware of the mental implications. Caitlin withdraws in times of anxious-ness, so instead of crying and showing she's hurt or worried, instead of saying she needed to … Continue reading Triggers: small and misread
Being a swimming pool, I can't really do much in the way of photography here... and being a very wet day, most photographs were akin to the featured image here, for the "outside" picture. But I can certainly let my words build the imagery, and the web page for the pool has 360 views anyhow. … Continue reading Review: Blue Lagoon Waterpark Wales
Whilst gate crashing Nanna and Grandad's holiday in Saundersfoot, we visited the Dinsosaur Park, near Tenby. It was on a main route and easy to get to by car, although the sat nav indicated I should enter through a field rather than the actual entrance, which crept up on me on a fast road, so … Continue reading Review: The Dinosaur Park
Sometimes, I wake up with this urge... I'm not sure if anyone else gets it, I'd be interested to know if people do to be honest. But basically, it's like an itch, I can't physically scratch it I can only relieve it by succombing to its desire; the desire to escape and explore. I woke … Continue reading A day trip to London
