Drusillas Park is somewhere that I haven’t been for well over 20 years. Situated in Alfriston in East Sussex, it is a place that I used to go to as a child, although my memories of the zoo in the late 80s and early 90s are mainly of meerkats. However, Drusillas has changed a lot since then, and they now […]

Recently I was asked to review a holiday cottage in the New Forest, which happened to be near the border of Dorset. When looking into things to do in the local area, I remembered that I followed Farmer Palmer’s Farm Park on Twitter and sent them a message. They kindly agreed to let us visit and review. We visited Farmer

Because we never do things by halves, on the day that we returned from Bluestone, rather than going home and taking a long nap we got a ferry over to the Isle of Wight for part two of our slightly soggy British staycation (seriously, did we go on the wrong week or what?!). We stayed in a two bedroom cottage

Little Street Maidstone is what pre-schooler dreams are made of! Entertaining pre-school children in the school holidays is, as I have said before, a bit of a challenge. This is particularly true when the weather is rubbish, and it really has been. Good lord. I remember when summer was – you know, summery. Not being a huge fan of getting

It was the small one’s second birthday at the weekend. I still can’t believe he’s two. In many ways, for example his ability to argue back, he seems so much older, but he’s still my youngest baby. We decided to forgo the party and instead have a day out to celebrate. Fortunately his birthday coincided with the Big Day Out,

A little while ago, I was invited along by Red Letter Days for a Tea with a Tiger experience at Paradise Wildlife Park in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. Red Letter Days provides experience days which you can buy as gifts for those people who actually do have everything already. In a pre-child life, my husband and I had been bought a falconry experience and a

Living in Tonbridge in Kent, there are some amazing things to do with kids locally, especially when the weather starts to perk up. You can see some of the places we’ve been to under the ‘Travel and days out‘ tab – which I am slowly adding to as time permits. However, I’ll be frank; when you have kids who are
