Outdoor Ice Skating in London – it’s so flipping PRETTY #GreatDaysOut
Following on from our red bus tour we scooted across London to get to the Natural History Museum for a spot of outdoor ice skating. SO Excited! I LOVE to ice skate (though haven’t been more than a couple of times in the last 20 years), so I was as excited as the children – who have all tried it once, and are universally as terrible as their father at staying upright on the ice… We were booked in for the 3p.m....
London’s Original Open-Top Bus Tour – Review #GreatDaysOut
One of the things I’ve always wanted to do is take a bus tour – we’ve done them in lots of other cities and always found them a brilliant way to get an overview of a city that we don’t know well. So when the Original London Bus Tour got in touch and asked if we’d like to give London’s Original open-top bus tour a whirl I was obviously more than happy to say yes! Providing more than just a great way...
Are ready for ‘driving home for Christmas’? Top 6 Car Checks for Winter Driving.
Christmas is coming… had you noticed? And so many people, in the words of Chris Rea, will be ‘Driving Home For Christmas’ (come on – you know you started singing it as soon as you saw the title…). And whilst we know that the big family get-togethers are filled with warmth and hugs and laughter (and perpetual childhood bickering…), if you step away from the end point there’s possibly a couple of hundred...
Is it a bird? Is it a Plane, is it even a sleeping bag?…No, its a SLPY!
Oh my – this is something you’re going. to. LOVE. The SLPY, at first glance, is a sleeping bag; a sleeping bag with a few extra zips and flaps. But it is so much more. The SLPY is a wearable sleeping bag that looks great and keeps you warm. It comes in all kinds of crazy cool colours (Pink, Orange, White, Blue, Green and Black… I went for the brilliantly vibrant Orange). But what sets the SLPY apart from a normal...
The Spirit of Christmas Fair
The Spirit of Christmas Fair is held every year at the beginning of November at Olympia. As you walk through the doors the citrus smell evocative of Christmas envelops you, thanks to Pollyfields Christmas garlands right at the entrance. With over 600 stalls there is something for everyone and it really is a shopping extravaganza. We went as a group of 4 friends and spent almost 7 hours there! We had a fabulous time. Having been...
Barmy Britain? well yes actually!
Those fabulous people from Horrible Histories have done it again! Another wonderful show, this time all about us Barmy Brits! Last night we trouped down to the Lighthouse Theatre in Poole (that’s Dorset, for those of you oop North), keen to get our annual fix of Horrible History; and weren’t disappointed either. From raging mad Boudicca who had a thing for stomping on the Romans to the very extroverted Dick Turpin who took to...
