I haven’t had much time to myself over the holidays (I really miss my day off whilst the children are on holiday!). Earlier in the holidays I did manage to sneak a trip into London to go and see Misshapes: The Making of Tatty Devine at the Lethaby Gallery. This was a free exhibition which…

A trip to SEA LIFE London Aquarium with kids
I do love a day in London with my kids. We all love exploring our city and London has so much to offer families, especially in the Summer months. Today we were gifted tickets to SEA LIFE London Aquarium on the South Bank in Central London. We hopped on the Underground and soon emerged at…
Roarsome live action with Dinosaur World Live
If you are looking for something to do with the kids over the summer holidays then look no further than Dinosaur World Live, an interactive children’s theatre show that brings dinosaurs to life, on stage! Little Sis and I were fortunate to be invited to the press preview today and had a great day out. Troubadour…
Top Secret exhibition at the London Science Museum
If you are looking for something to do with the kids this summer in London then look no further than the Science Museum. It’s a firm favourite with our family for lots of reasons, mainly because it’s free and is a great place to learn about science! We’ve already shared our experience at Wonderlab and…
Exploring Chiltern Open Air Museum with tweens
A few weekends ago we visited the Chiltern Open Air Museum. Can you believe it has been on our list since we moved to Hillingdon 6 years ago? Yet it took us 6 years to find a free weekend! Anyway, we had a fantastic day at the Chiltern Open Air Museum with our tweens so…
A visit to Bletchley Park with tweens

Exploring the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London {with a 7 and 9 year old}
A few weeks ago we finally got to visit the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, aka the Harry Potter Studio Tour. I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to visit and I didn’t realise you had to book so far in advance. I’ve read all the books, watched the films, and tried to introduce…
Sandham Memorial Chapel and Stanley Spencer’s paintings
When we returned from our week in Devon we decided to stop off at the Sandham Memorial Chapel. We are National Trust members and I really want to get our money’s worth and visit as many properties as we can this year. The Sandham Memorial Chapel was halfway on our journey home, so we decided…
A visit to Bradley Manor House, Newton Abbot
Although we’re frequent visitors to Devon there are still lots of places we want to visit. On our most recent trip we wanted to use our National Trust membership to visit both Bradley Manor House and Compton Castle. We packed a picnic and headed off to Newton Abbot for our day out. A visit to…
