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 […]

My goodness, this post was a labour of love. It has taken me days’ worth of writing and research. As a caravan owner and fan of staying in static caravans, I am always on the lookout for new sites to try. I decided to compile a list of 50 seaside resorts in the UK and […]
Before we booked to go to Disneyland Paris for three days I googled like mad to find out if it was truly worth taking our nearly 3 at the time toddler. My husband and I went many years ago with friends and I didn’t have too many memories of there being loads of rides for the little ones. I was […]
Just before Christmas, I asked my son if there was anything he still wanted to do this year. Luckily for me, he asked for a themed afternoon tea. I’d had Cupcakes 2 Love in Doncaster, South Yorkshire on my to-do list so I booked us in as pre-booking is essential. Sadly we got snowed in […]
