Eating out with kids can be a wildly unpredictable experience but who wants to stop dining out in nice eateries just because there’s a small chance their child might stand on a chair and sing ‘Let it Go!’ at the top of their lungs in an attempt to serenade everyone present right to the back […]
Family Jukebox: a family-friendly musical jaunt We regularly share recommendations of what we’ve been listening to with our own families… Music that is totally accessible to younger ears but not ‘kids’ music’. Don’t be afraid to Dad-dance in the dining room – there are definitely no nursery rhymes here… Tom Tom Club, Wordy Rappinghood From the […]
This half term we took some time off as a family, left the Shire and travelled South to visit friends and family in Eastbourne & London. We spent the majority of our week in Central London being semi-tourists visiting some of the top attractions and for the first time we didn’t take our trusty old […]

Hope I’m not jinxing anything here but I think it could finally be springtime… shh… don’t tell the Met office, they might ruin it with reports of more snow. Witnessing the birds busying themselves outside, tiny shoots popping up in the garden and, after endless requests, raiding the local pound shop for Easter bonnet making […]
