My 6 year old loves her Sylvanian Families toys. Have you heard of these before? They are sweet little animal characters with charming and beautiful homes, furniture and accessories. They live, work and play in Sylvania which was apparently based on a 1950s fictional British village. This year a Town setting was introduced to the range….
We love a heritage railway and on our recent trip to North Norfolk managed to ride on the North Norfolk Railway, which goes from the pretty seaside town of Sheringham to Holt. Sheringham to Holt {North Norfolk Railway} The North Norfolk Railway offers a 10.5 mile round trip by steam train (there are vintage diesel…
We’re huge fans of painting and hiding rocks. Over the Bank Holiday weekend we hid a lot of painted rocks. Both my children have been decorating a lot so recently I varnished everything so we could take them out with us whilst we were away. I think that painted rocks make a great low-cost activity…
