A visit to the Fairy village

Posted on February 16, 2016May 11, 2020 by jenny

We have a slight obsession with fairy houses here at the gingerbread house blog. I’m not quite sure how it started but I’m pleased to say that not only is our own house and garden fairy friendly, but it seems that our little village is too. We’d been living here for a couple of months…

Liberty in Fashion exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum

Posted on February 13, 2016August 30, 2022 by jenny

A couple of weeks ago my 5 year old and I ventured into London for a day out on our own. He is great company and loves the tube so we made a little detour so we could take in the DLR too. Our destination was the Fashion and Textile Museum to see the Liberty…

Win a family ticket to Bletchley Park with Intel Security

Posted on February 2, 2016August 30, 2022 by jenny

I have tech savvy children. Yes, at the grand old ages of 4 and 5 they already seem far more confident than I am with a laptop and technology in general. I think this can only be a good thing and I am keen to teach them good habits and the importance of safety online….

I hope you all had a great weekend. I don’t think we sat down once, it was a busy but fun weekend. Time once again for my weekly Monday Happy Things post. This week I have been singing along to Faure’s Requiem and Haydn’s Te Deum. Last year I joined a local choir and I…

5 reasons to visit Legoland Windsor

Posted on January 24, 2016January 24, 2016 by jenny

We’re huge fans of Lego. My husband and I grew up with it and have grown into AFOLs (Adult Fans of Lego!). The children love saving their pocket money to buy Lego sets, which are frequently featured on my other blog, Treading on Lego. We are hugely inspired by Lego and I recently had fun…
