Beko gets on board with submarine restoration project
In a couple of weeks time we’re whisking the children down to Gosport to see a real live proper actual submarine, courtesy of Beko, who have become the largest consumer brand to contribute to the Royal Navy Submarine Museum’s ‘Saving HMS Alliance Appeal’. Excited? Much? Erm… just a le-e-e-tle bit. *nods* I mean, come on. It’s a submarine! (cue radar pyee-e-e-w noises, please) The Alliance Appeal is a fundraising...
Bluestone National Park Holiday Resort, Wales – LittleStuff Review
We were invited to review the Bluestone National Park holiday resort in Pembrokeshire, Wales for a midweek break and right from the top I can tell you that we give it a very positive thumbs up and definitely recommend it for a family holiday. We returned home with happy and relaxed smiles on our face and lots of “Yes, we had a really good time!” replies to those inevitable “How was it?” questions. I must...
When LittleStuff went to Frankie & Benny’s. Twice.
Having been asked by Frankie & Benny’s to go along and review their new menu, we were only too happy to oblige – with four children and a teeny tiny bank balance, its not often we take them out en masse for a meal ;) The nearest F&B’s to us is Yeovil (20 miles away), so we duly booked a table during the holidays, and turned up 20 minutes before the allotted 6.30 time… only to find the restaurant was...
The Dad & Son Road Trip
Anyone who follows us on twitter knows that last week was the Big Event. The Father Son Road Trip, from Dorset to Manchester. Well, Old Trafford, to be precise – the belated 10th birthday present for Boy, our footballing No.2 son. Excited? NOT the word… It’s a 216 mile journey. His first video blog was created… um…8 miles from home… (watch as he tries to figure out how far they’ve come in 15...
The British Military Tournament. Oh, what a night…
Last week we were offered seats for the Military tournament at Earls Court. Some of you may remember it as the Royal tournament – an annual TV staple of a winter evening, watching the bands and the PT formations and the excitement of the Gun Run? I’d never been, but the husband went as a child, and told me to snap fast at the tickets… and so we found ourselves with four excited children heading into London on Friday...
Remember the Royal Tournament? Did you know it’s Back as the “British Military Tournament”
Growing up I ALWAYS wanted to actually go to the Royal Tournament. We would bits on the television, and I always wanted to see the bits I missed – HEAR the horses and the cannons and see the full effect of the gymnastic displays. I never did get to go. But last year, it came back (as the British Military Tournament, but what’s in a name?)! And now – I have three boys who are equally as dazzled, and longing to go see...
