Yesterday, we made the most of a sunny October day to try a new family activity – we had a go at a DIY autumn treasure hunt. It was free (well, almost), got us all out of the house for something we could do together, and was a lot of fun. I love this time Read More
Exploring deep, dark underground caves, and walking surrounded by dinosaurs – the Dan r Ogof National Showcaves Centre for Wales has it all! I hadn’t been to Dan yr Ogof since a school trip more years ago than I’d like to admit (or even remember), and Stew didn’t think he’d ever been. So when we Read More
ON Thursday night, I told our boys we were taking them to the park the next day. It was a new park that we’d never been to before – Bute Park, in Cardiff.I asked what they thought we might see there, and was give the answer “foxes, or owls”, and a look of ridicule when Read More

My searches for Antigua brought up hundreds of tiny squares showing beautiful beaches and people enjoying coconut drinks in the Read More

I kind of feel like we haven’t really stopped since getting home from our holiday – it’s been a hectic old month! I’ve been trying to write up our cruise diaries, and have kind of neglected any other kind of post, so I thought I’d just do a little round-up of what we’ve been up Read More
YOU might quickly spot a theme if you follow our Caribbean cruise posts, as we spent a fair bit of time enjoying the beach. It’s funny really as we live by the sea, but wouldn’t spend an afternoon on the sand at home. Being in the Caribbean, it felt rude not to, so we made the Read More
