“This is AWESOME!” With his foam finger in the air, blowing his horn and jumping up and down, we had one excited little boy as the Monster Jam trucks revved their engines on Saturday afternoon. We’d been invited to watch Monster Jam at Cardiff Principality Stadium, and to be completely honest I had no idea Read More
Despite the best intentions – including buying a specific Caribbean cruise travel book – the extent of my Caribbean research amounted to scrolling through Instagram using various hashtags, and getting lost in other people’s photos. My searches for Antigua brought up hundreds of tiny squares showing beautiful beaches and people enjoying coconut drinks in the Read More

SITTING on the beach in St Lucia watching the waves crash onto the white sand just six weeks after booking a Caribbean cruise was a proper pinch yourself to believe it moment. We hadn’t really thought about this year’s holiday until New Year’s Day, when we had some news that just made us want to make Read More
Turtle Bay Swansea opened a couple of months ago, and I’ve been keen to try it out after hearing good reviews about the Cardiff branch. When we had a couple of child-free hours a few weeks ago we headed straight there to escape the drizzly Welsh weather in favour of some Caribbean sunshine … well, Read More
