Easter in pictures
We’ve been fortunate that our couple of days away coincided with blue skies and sunshine. At long last we were able to spend time outside and all feel much better for it. In the run up to Easter we did lots of Easter crafting. We made and decorated bunny biscuits, boiled eggs and tried out…
Can glamping ever be glamorous?

The Gallery: One Day in August
I’m surprised to admit I love traveling on steam trains. There’s something about the smell, the atmosphere, the style and comfort of the carriages. Today we took our little one to the 36th Island Steam Show at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, a beautifully restored stretch of the old line which once crossed the…
