When LittleStuff visited the Garden of Wales
On our week in the Brecon Beacons we had the opportunity to visit the Garden of Wales – the National Botanic Garden of Wales, to be precise. And before you start switching off and saying “Oh, that’s not our sort of thing” read on. This is NOT the place your Aunt Lil enjoys a coach trip to with her friend Meryl. Well, actually, it probably is. But it’s so much MORE than that too. We LOVE it there. And when...
What The LittleStuff Family Did In The Brecon Beacons – Our 6 Day Plan.
As we were over on the west side of the national park this year, I thought we’d share the things we did as a bit of inspiration to anyone else visiting this summer… Day 1 – Walk to Llyn Y Fan Fach By the time we’d had a lazy morning, then found a supermarket to stock up for the week we only had the afternoon left. So a quick and easy stroll was in order to stretch our legs – we opted for the lovely Llyn...
Natwest T20 Cricket Blast – Is It Really Family Fun?

Porthcawl Surf School Review – Kids Surfing in Rest Bay.
As guests of Bridgend, we had a few activities arranged for us – but when they suggested a Porthcawl Surf School Review, I gracefully declared myself and the husband out of the invitation. Naturally I accepted happily on behalf of the children. Oh, come on. Surfing in Wales – in February? Be serious. On top of which, there’s the whole wetsuit thing. No, I think not, thankseverso though. So, after a fabulous morning...
Coming alive, it’s coming alive… Horrible Science is coming alive…
Those clever clogs from the Birmingham Stage Company have done it again! The latest in the Horrible series stage shows has given me those exact words (“it’s coming alive, it’s coming alive…” to a maddening tune going round and round in my head, and just when I think I have shaken it off one of my lovely children pipes up and actually sings it and away we go again! Horrible Science, the follow up to...
