When LittleStuff visited the Garden of Wales
On our week in the Brecon Beacons we had the opportunity to visit the Garden of Wales – the National Botanic Garden of Wales, to be precise. And before you start switching off and saying “Oh, that’s not our sort of thing” read on. This is NOT the place your Aunt Lil enjoys a coach trip to with her friend Meryl. Well, actually, it probably is. But it’s so much MORE than that too. We LOVE it there. And when...

Keep On Discovering – I like this.
On Sunday I turn 40. I know, it’s shocking – I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to be this old and still get spots. But no one appears to have told my face yet. Usually I’m a pretty laid back person about my age – it’s just never bothered me how old I am. I don’t see the point – I mean, there’s nothing I can do about it. And I’ve always had the philosophy that you can...
Natwest T20 Cricket Blast – Is It Really Family Fun?
I’m no mega cricket fan, but in recent years I have grown to enjoy the odd T20 match on TV – having shown a polite interest in the husband’s late night watching, I got sucked in.

More than just the polite ripple of applause across the green as the sound of leather...
