Castleton is a beautiful village in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District. The village is well known for its show caves and it also has an English Heritage owned castle set high on the hill. There is more than enough to occupy a day or even two in Castleton and just outside of the […]
There are plenty of family-friendly places to visit in North Devon. We take a look at one of our writer’s top 10 places to visit there. 1 – Lynton & Lynmouth There’s so much to do in these twin coastal villages with a Victorian Cliff Railway which links the two. Lynton has a historic Town […]
We spend a lot of time in the city of Lincoln in the UK. Why? Because there is so much to see and do and it is a very nice place to spend some time. We moved to Lincolnshire nearly 3 years ago after 14 years in France. We had been to Lincoln before we […]
We have fallen in love with a car. After one week of road testing the Peugeot 3008 SUV I can safely say we are very impressed. It has taken us to some amazing places. We’ve had two mini-breaks with plenty of days out. We were sad to see it go. Just in case you didn’t […]
Our son has ‘visit a farm park’ on his summer bucket list so that is what we did. We had never been to Piglets Adventure Farm near York before and we were all impressed. There is so much to do there and there are some really lovely and different things to do as well. Below […]

Our visit to Murton Park was a bit of a spontaneous last minute thing. We were meeting my Mum halfway for a day out and the weather forecast wasn’t great. I had a quick look around for somewhere with indoor and outdoor attractions. I was focusing on the outskirts of York and I came across […]
We were invited to review Mother Shipton’s cave in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire. I haven’t been there in years so I jumped at the chance to visit and review one of the oldest tourist attractions in the UK. The attraction is located in the heart of Knaresborough which is not too far from Harrogate. It is […]
I am well known for spending far more money on my son’s clothes than my own. I recently purchased a whole summer wardrobe for him. What did I get for myself? Nothing. When JD Williams asked me if I’d like to try some of their clothes I jumped at the chance. We all need spoiling. […]
Mykonos is an island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea, it is a part of Greece. Mykonos is not just all about the lively bars and nightclubs though. It is actually an island that is worth exploring by daylight. One of the most iconic landmarks is a row of 16th-century windmills high on […]
My husband and I are both self-employed. We have pets at home that can’t often go with anyone to be looked after so we love our short breaks. It’s also a really great way to see lots of different places, usually packing as much as we can into 2 days and 2-3 nights. Over the […]
