Today I finally got to visit the Orla Kiely: A Life in Pattern exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum in Bermondsey.

My 6 year old is just crazy about dinosaurs so it wasn’t hard to accept an invitation to Dinosaurs in the Wild on the Greenwich Peninsula, London. We don’t often go to this side of London but it didn’t take long on the Underground and before we knew it we were blinking in the sunshine at…
Any one starting to worry how to keep the kids busy over the Summer holidays? I have to admit that panic is starting to kick in. I’ve booked quite a few things but that doesn’t stop me trying to come up with ideas for some of the days we’ll be spending at home. I love…

If you’re looking for days out with the kids around Bradford-on-Avon then here…
I love a Bank Holiday weekend and it’s not long until the next one. The weather was amazing for the first May Bank Holiday weekend so I wonder what the chances are of it being so lovely and sunny again? Fingers crossed the weather should be good and it always feels like we can properly…
