Thank you to Monster Jam for gifting us a family ticket for the purpose of reviewing the Cardiff show. Before the show had even started, our eldest son – nearly five – declared he wants to be a Monster Jam truck driver when he grows up. And in the middle of the night, our youngest

Llanelli Christmas events 2017 and where to meet Father Christmas in and around Carmarthenshire

Autumn fun: Pumpkin picking at Brooksgrove Farm, Haverfordwest
Ok, ok. I know it’s a proper blogger cliché, but I couldn’t resist it. This weekend we went pumpkin picking at Brooksgrove Farm, in Haverfordwest. And I’m so glad we did as I think I’ve ended up with the nicest set of photos of the boys to date. We had two choices of farms for
A visit to Barafundle, the best beach in Wales (plus vlog)
WE are very lucky to live in South Wales, with so many beautiful places to visit not far away, and a list of beaches to choose from if we fancy a day by the sea. We can even say we live just over an hour from one of the best beaches in the world (

UK heatwave and an impromptu trip to Tenby
AS you’ll be well aware, this weekend was the hottest of the year so far. It was crazy hot!I’d been looking forward to spending the weekend outdoors enjoying the sun … but it turned out that wasn’t entirely possible because of the heat. On Saturday we woke up with no plans, and as usual decided
Celebrity Dusty Duck trail at WWT Llanelli
ONE of our failsafe weekend activities if we have no plans is to visit WWT Llanelli for a few hours. It’s big enough for the boys to burn off some energy, but not so big that it feels like a mission to get around. Plus there’s a lovely new park, a small soft play area
