Little Sis and I had our first day out together with two rather wonderful events to attend. Our first stop was the Rainforest Café for a lovely chat with the people at Vosene over a delicious breakfast.

A fun day out in London
It’s hard to believe the summer holidays are nearly over. I have to admit to dreading the thought of 6 weeks with two small children but we’ve survived. This year we had a staycation as we’re on a budget, having moved house earlier this year. We’ve had some great days out in London and further…
Things to do at Ruislip Lido
The weather gradually improved over the Bank Holiday weekend. The first day was wet so we were happy to spend it indoors at the local shopping centre. Sunday was better but we still spent a lot of time indoors, this time at Ikea seeking some storage solutions! Come Monday we were all itching to get…

Afternoon tea at The Athenaeum First of all we enjoyed a really delicious afternoon tea…
Preschoolers and the London Aquarium
Today we were invited to take a special tour of the Sea Life London Aquarium. I jumped at the chance as we’d been before and loved it, and I knew the toddler would enjoy it even more being a bit older. Preschoolers and the London Aquarium This was our third trip into central London in…
London’s sandy beach
We had the most amazing day out today at the London Eye and South Bank. It’s one of my favourite places in London and there’s lots to do for free! We didn’t tell the toddler where we were going until we were right underneath the London Eye and luckily he was excited about going on…
