Visit Manchester – ever considered Manchester for a family city break? You should.
At the weekend my family and I had the pleasure of visiting Manchester for an overnight stay and two fun-packed days of museum visits, eating at great restaurants and shopping! I hadn’t been to Manchester for about 17 years so it was wonderful to go back and explore the city! Manchester has grown and improved so much from what I can remember of it back when I was 18. Everywhere seemed to be clean and well looked after and there was a...
When LittleStuff went to the Sea Life Centre #greatdaysout
Last week we were invited to visit the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth. We haven’t been for a lo-o-ong time, but we took No.1 son on his FIRST birthday 13yrs ago (he loved to see the fssshes), and have had a few great trips there over the years so we were keen to go and catch up, and introduce 6yr old Pink to the fsssssshes. We spent 3 or 4 hours wandering gently around the suggested route (follow the footprints, people), reading...
When LittleStuff went to The Hawk Conservancy #GreatDaysOut
Yesterday we headed of towards Andover, for a day at The Hawk Conservancy Trust. Oh, we had SUCH a great time!

Make sure you pick up the brochure on your arrival – not only is it packed with useful and genuinely interesting info, but it also contains the...
When Littlestuff went to LEGOLAND review! #GreatDaysOut
Legoland review – what a family of six actually thought of their day at Legoland. Yesterday the Super Six went to LEGOLAND. Oh yes we did. Did you happen to look out of the window yesterday? Stick a nose out of doors? Well, just in case it passed you by, let me tell you – it was frickin’ FREEZING. Literally; it actually had the cheek to snow on us all day. Of course, when we left home in Dorset, it was cloudy and...

Review – Tower of London Ice Rink
(reviewed by Sandra from SaSaSlings and her rather willing family) We love the Tower of London. We have visited it many times as a family, so when we heard about the temporary open air ice rink that has opened in the moat surrounding the tower, we jumped at the chance to try it out as a family. George (10), Peg (8) and Edith (5) travelled up to the city with Mum and met Dad at the Tower after work. George had been ice skating fairly...
