Posted on August 7, 2017June 26, 2022 by jenny

Earlier in the Summer holidays I enjoyed a day out with my 5 year old, watching The Emoji Movie. Today I got to spend the day with my 7 year old as we were invited to see the new production of Horrible Histories – More Best of Barmy Britain! at the Garrick Theatre in London. We…

Our experience at Paw Patrol Live

Posted on August 5, 2017 by jenny

We’ve had such a busy week but it’s been loads of fun. Yesterday we had booked tickets for Paw Patrol Live at the SSE Arena, Wembley. My children have been seeing adverts for this live show for ages so I was really excited that we were able to treat them to tickets. We managed to keep it…

Icing biscuits at The Biscuiteers

Biscuiteers Icing Workshop

Posted on August 3, 2017 by jenny

Last year I joined in with a very colourful Photo Walk as part of the Blogtacular conference around Kensington. Despite being a Londoner it’s not a part of London that I know very well. It was lovely to explore some of the quieter streets, it was all very Instagrammable! On the walk we went past…

Fun at The Grossery Gang Movie London premiere

Posted on August 1, 2017 by jenny

My 7 year old just loves The Grossery Gang. They can be found in Cheap Town, a once bustling urban metropolis BUT ever since the mega motorway to Sales City was built there hasn’t been a single customer in this now run down town! Don’t feel bad though, SOMETHING has been left behind…take a peek inside…

The Emoji Movie

A girls day out to watch The Emoji Movie

Posted on July 30, 2017 by jenny

My children love sending emoji messages so when they saw a trailer for The Emoji Movie I knew we would be going to see it at some point. We were lucky to receive an invitation to a special screening of The Emoji Movie at Cineworld in Leicester Square. My son was busy so my daughter…

Regular readers will know just how much we adore the world of Roald Dahl.

A day at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre

A day at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre Aylesbury {exploring our local area}

Posted on July 15, 2017May 7, 2025 by jenny

Earlier this year we enjoyed a day out exploring a little further afield than normal. We all love heritage railways so visited the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Aylesbury. It is a railway museum based at the old Quainton Road railway station, about 5 miles west of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire. The site is divided into two halves which are joined by two…

The Westbury White Horse and Bratton Camp

The Westbury White Horse and Bratton Camp

Posted on July 8, 2017 by jenny

In all the years we’ve been visiting family in Wiltshire I don’t think I’ve ever written about the Westbury White Horse and Bratton Camp. Both are managed by English Heritage and are free to visit. They are open all year round and are our go-to place when we need to burn off some energy. The…

Monday Happy Things {Week 144}

Posted on July 3, 2017 by jenny

We are definitely feeling that the end of term is coming. Every thing is finishing which is kind of satisfying but also scary because that means the summer holidays! My son has handed in his school library book for the last time, finished his handwriting book and had his last Gardening Club session. Only 3 weeks…
