When LittleStuff went to The Hawk Conservancy #GreatDaysOut
Yesterday we headed of towards Andover, for a day at The Hawk Conservancy Trust. Oh, we had SUCH a great time! Despite living just under an hour away, we haven’t visited for a long time – 10 years, we think. And it was lovely to be back; I have no idea why we left it so long. Make sure you pick up the brochure on your arrival – not only is it packed with useful and genuinely interesting info, but it also contains the...
When Littlestuff went to LEGOLAND review! #GreatDaysOut
Legoland review – what a family of six actually thought of their day at Legoland. Yesterday the Super Six went to LEGOLAND. Oh yes we did. Did you happen to look out of the window yesterday? Stick a nose out of doors? Well, just in case it passed you by, let me tell you – it was frickin’ FREEZING. Literally; it actually had the cheek to snow on us all day. Of course, when we left home in Dorset, it was cloudy and...

Review – Tower of London Ice Rink
(reviewed by Sandra from SaSaSlings and her rather willing family) We love the Tower of London. We have visited it many times as a family, so when we heard about the temporary open air ice rink that has opened in the moat surrounding the tower, we jumped at the chance to try it out as a family. George (10), Peg (8) and Edith (5) travelled up to the city with Mum and met Dad at the Tower after work. George had been ice skating fairly...
London Duck Tours – Ducking Good!
So, just recently I took the 9yr old to London for a Daddy/Son bonding day out. I try and do this once a year with all my children; I think it’s an important thing to do. Finding out what makes them tick, watching their interests and finding common ground that we can take forward into the future. This can only help keep the lines of communication open as they hurtle headlong toward their awkward teenage years (besides, it’s fun,...
Babies In The Cinema – do you?
Five years ago, I was desperate to see the new Harry Potter film. I had a 3mth old baby which I didn’t want to leave with a sitter, so the husband and I decided to take her too. And it was fine – she slept most of the way through, woke at a few of the loud bits, and on the whole it was fine. But I was under no illusions – had she made any noise, I would have had to leave, as this was an evening showing, and the...
