In my opinion though, men are the worst people to buy for when Christmas rolls around. Women are often […]

Dinotropolis is a new indoor attraction for children in Bluewater shopping centre, Kent. Situated in the Plaza, next to the Showcase cinema and up a flight of stairs, it’s well hidden to shoppers but when we went on the second Saturday that it had been open, it was already very busy. What is there to do at Bluewater’s Dinotropolis? What is

During the half term holiday we visited the Historic Dockyard Chatham for the day, along with some friends and their children (all aged 3 and 4). Although it’s only a 45 minute drive from us in Tonbridge, we’d not yet visited despite there being some very proud naval history in the family, and with a two week half term looming

This weekend just gone it was my birthday, and my husband’s too. As luck would have it, my parents offered to babysit so that we could go away and have a nice meal to celebrate. We were invited along to The George Inn at Barford St Michael (about six miles from Banbury, Oxfordshire) to try out their autumn menu. (NB.

I have been on a Red Letter Days experience before (an afternoon tea with tigers) and I was excited when they asked me if I’d like to trial another of their experience days. I opted for the Tea Masterclass with Afternoon Tea for Two at Blends for Friends in Kemsing, Kent as it was very local. A three and a
Brio trains are a classic toy which you find can in most toy boxes and pretty much every nursery and toddler group. As a brand, Brio is much loved because the trains and tracks are tough wearing, and popular with parents because they’re made primarily with wood (from sustainable forests) as opposed to bringing more plastic into the home.
