When you think of Canada theme parks aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. In fact, for me, it’s the opposite as I think of expansive country parks with lakes, mountains and bears. Canada is actually home to some of the world’s best theme parks and I will list each of them below. Hopefully, […]
I have been keen to book a Polar Express train ride for the past couple of years now. Usually, it’s a bit too far away but last year I did try to book the one in Norfolk and it had already sold out. When I heard that the Polar Express also comes to the Wensleydale […]
During our weekend away to Stratford-Upon-Avon we were able to spend 2 full days exploring. We managed to pack in many different things and each experience was unique and great fun in its own right. Stratford-Upon-Avon isn’t just about the famous playwright William Shakespeare. There are so many non-Shakespeare, family-friendly things to see and do. […]

If you are looking for a large family theme park in the East Midlands then Twinlakes is most likely the place for you.

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 […]
Normanby Hall Country Park in Lincolnshire is in the north of the county and not too far from the Humber estuary. It’s somewhere we’ve never been before but have been meaning to visit for a few years now. They have had recent investments with new playgrounds and a Go Ape! on-site. We visited on a […]
