We visited Wakehurst in Haywards Heath, Sussex today to meet up with friends for a walk and a picnic in the sunshine. I always think of Wakehurst as Kew’s little sister- not as big or impressive as Kew (in my opinion) but a gorgeous place to visit for a good walk and to spend some…

The Lindt Gold Bunny Hunt at Hampton Court Palace.
We visited Hampton Court Palace today for the Lindt Gold Bunny Hunt. It runs until 18th April at Hampton Court and 17th April at Kensington Palace. It’s a very popular event and you have to book in advance. The trail is included in palace entry and takes you on a lovely walk around the grounds….
Bekonscot Model Village and Railway, Beaconsfield
Bekonscot Model Village is the world’s oldest, open since 1929! It is such a fun, family day out and has a unique, old-world charm about it. I can remember going as a child and loving peering in the windows of the buildings and imagining who lived there. Today my littluns did exactly the same! Although…
Tumblestone Hollow, Stonor Park and Gardens, Henley-on-Thames
Tumblestone Hollow is a magical and fantastical playground in the Oxfordshire countryside. Set in the stunning grounds of the historic Stonor House, Tumblestone Hollow is an extensive adventure playground based on the stories by Amy Sparkes. A place where children can embrace their imaginations and run wild in a natural play space. It has a…
Easter Special at Audley End Miniature Railway, Essex
Audley End Miniature Railway has been on our to-do list for a while so I decided their Easter Special would be a good time to visit… and it didn’t disappoint. The day starts with a 40-minute ride through the grounds on a miniature railway pulled by either a diesel or steam engine. The train ride…

Know Before You Go: Dennis & Gnasher’s Big Bonanza at Kew
Yesterday we went to Dennis & Gnasher’s Big Bonanza at Kew Gardens. I booked for 2pm- as that was the only slot available- and it was busy, as expected, with families enjoying all that Kew has to offer. The Beano-themed trail is in honour of 70 years of the comic book characters and their calamitous…
Eggcellent Easter-Themed London Activities for the Easter Holidays (2021)
The sun is shining… yesterday was the hottest March day on record for 53 years! COVID restrictions are starting to loosen and it looks like the world is opening up a crack in time for some fun days out over the Easter holiday. Cue the picnics and melted chocolate bunnies! We’ve all been a bit…
Days Out with the Kids: 10 Family-Friendly Day Trips One-Hour from South London.
Whenever I read blogs like this, I find that places like Warwick Castle and Stratford-Upon-Avon are often included. Both are amazing places and a brilliant day out but, with littluns, 2.5 hours each way in the car or on a train is too far for us for a family day trip! Let’s be realistic! Bored kids and…
Make your own Easter egg hunt…and other Easter activities.
If you’ve read my other Easter blog, you’ll know that we’re having a family gathering on Good Friday – our annual shindig with the traditional fish and chips, hot cross buns and too many chocolate Easter eggs! I’m in charge of entertainment – not because I am particularly good at it, because I’m the only…
