days out
Easter Egg Hunt at Hughenden
It’s a family tradition that each year we take the kids to an Easter Egg Hunt at a National Trust property. Over the years we’ve had some amazing days out, today we were reminiscing about some of our favourites which involved Cadbury’s and the National Trust. They don’t seem to sponsor their Easter Egg Trails…
d20 Watford Board Game Cafe
Last summer we discovered our first board game cafe, a fun mixture of a cafe where you can choose from hundreds of board games to play. Our first visit was to the Snacks and Ladders Board Game Cafe on the Isle of Wight and we’ve been on the look out for something nearer to us…
Exploring the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway
Already half term feels a lifetime away, I can’t believe that only 7 days ago we were exploring somewhere new. It’s been a couple of yers since we visited a miniature railway. My son was obsessed with trains when he was little but this has now been replaced with Minecraft and YouTube. Luckily my husband…
Exploring Pevensey Castle with kids

A trip to God’s Own Junkyard, Walthamstow
This year we started a family bucket list – a list of things we want to try and do or visit. Time goes so quickly that we thought this would help us focus on making some happy memories as a family. With a clear day we decided to tick off a trip to God’s Own…
Exploring Runnymede, the home of the Magna Carta
It feels like a while since we went out for the day. General Christmas busy-ness and then trying to ward off the January blues, we decided it was time to go a little further afield. However, where to go? It almost felt like we closed our eyes and placed a finger on a map, ending…
Christmas at Kew {review}
We love a trip to see Christmas lights. Last year we booked to visit Christmas at Kew but it sadly got cancelled due to the pandemic. So we were excited to re-book and go this year. Kew Gardens is a wonderful place to visit any season and we were lucky to visit Kew Gardens last…
