Reighton Sands is a Haven-owned Caravan Park near Filey in North Yorkshire. I originally booked us in here because I wanted to go and see the puffins at RSPB Bempton Cliffs but as we had already done that earlier in the year we had an open book of things to do. I will go more […]
I had read that if you are staying in a cabin and want to get around Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground easily then you need to hire a golf cart. Not only that but pre-booking is essential as they could all be hired out. We didn’t have a hire car at this stage of our […]
We have just become members of English Heritage for the next 12 months and I want to tell you all about our membership and some of our favourite places to visit as a family and where we hope to visit over the next 12 months. Plus the special offer benefits you can have from being […]
The Goose Fair in Nottingham is certainly one of the best travelling fairs in the UK, everyone needs to go at least once in their life. I can’t believe I grew up not too far away and it took me a few decades to visit. About the Nottingham Goose Fair The Goose Fair comes to […]
We have been eating at ASK Italian restaurant in Scarborough for a few years now. Although it’s a chain restaurant we like its location and we’ve always eaten well there. I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo below but it is right on the side of the harbour. Out of the windows, […]
I’m currently all for experiences over physical gifts as I literally don’t think we could wedge one more thing into our son’s playroom. His play area has even expanded to a landing upstairs and enough is enough. I think we need to focus even more now on doing things with him and creating memories rather […]
There are usually rainy days or cold days when we all struggle for something to do with the kids. I have put together this post full of days out for when the weather just isn’t being kind to us. Most of my suggestions are indoor things to do but some may have outdoor elements as […]
The pandemic certainly put some doubt into the renovation of the splash pad in East Park, Hull. We are pleased to say that it is now finished and it is excellent. Despite the cold, my son had a great time splashing about and the best thing about it is that it is HUGE! Like all […]
We dithered and we dithered about booking to stay at Universal, in fact about even visiting Universal in Florida at all. I am so glad we did though as it was one of our favourite parts of the holiday. I’m also glad that we booked to stay at a Universal hotel as the bus transport […]
Did you know that Denmark is the home of LEGO? It was first invented in Billund in 1932 and it is still owned today by the same family. The name LEGO is an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt” which means “play well”. Many LEGO sets are still made today in Billund. We […]
Ripleys Believe it or Not has around 29 museums worldwide where you can marvel at hundreds of unusual artefacts. My son has been wanting to visit one for ages. Luckily for him, Ripleys Believe it or Not is included in the Copenhagen Card that we had bought for our stay in Denmark. We managed to […]
On our Easter break to Denmark, we stayed 5 nights at the Copenhagen Marriott Hotel. This is a fabulous waterside hotel located in the city centre of Copenhagen. We were a few minutes walk from the main restaurant district and attractions so we didn’t need a car for the duration of our stay. Bike riding […]
