What IS Shrek’s Adventure all about? | Merlin Annual Pass
It took a short while, but our group suddenly understood our flight attendant wasn’t actually a slightly odd member of staff, but rathr a properly funny character that I wish I’d engaged in conversation sooner. Seriously – fair play to anyone who can get a small group of baffled Brits hollering Shrektastic! at each other on a Thursday morning! We were visiting...
The London Dungeon with a 9yr old? | Merlin Annual Pass
Way back when our gurt big hulking teens were just little boys, we were on holiday camping in Yorkshire. We planned to spend a day exploring in York, and while there we had the grand plan to visit the York Dungeons – I mean, how scary could it really be? I had roughty-toughty-non-scarable boys, it’d be fun. Hmmmm. Within ten minutes (after ignoring the dubious warnings at the ticket desk) I had to beat...
London Aquarium – it’s rather brain-breaking | #MerlinAnnualPass

So THAT’S What The London Eye Is All About | #MerlinAnnualPass
I’ll admit it had been a looooong day, and I was actually rather happy at the prospect of a gentle rotation on the London Eye. Except the closer we walked, the higher it looked… until I was doing a pretty good job of hiding my total abject terror of going up to a very excited 9yr old Bear (who seriously has no concept of fear. She’ll say yes to anything if it looks a bit fun). The queue took no time at all, and...
Weymouth Sea Life | #MerlinAnnualPass
This year we were seriously thrilled to be chosen by Merlin as an Annual Pass Ambassador. Sadly, this totally excellent news signalled the start of a catalogue of disastrous months – 2016 has not been kind to the LittleStuff house. Whooping Cough actually stole the first three months of the year; it was as much as I could do to drag through each day with the bare essentials, days out and fun stuff were simply off the agenda. Of...
