Larmer Tree Festival – Day 2
After her grown-ups night at the festival watching Jools Holland and Newton Faulkner, Emma revisited last night with her son in preparation for spending the whole weekend ‘Festival-ing’… I took D for a couple of hours last night and it’s filled him with excitement to be spending a WHOLE weekend there. He loved the manageable size, the spacious friendly atmosphere and beautifully landscaped areas of garden (not...
Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs Pantomime – Bournemouth Pavilion
So – we went to the panto (oh yes we did!). Snow White awaited us at the Bournemouth Pavilion, with Chris Jarvis (from Cbeebies) as the irrepressible Muddles, and Su Pollard as the Wicked Queen. We hadn’t told the children where we were going so late on a school night (*gasp* Bad Parents), and as we walked up the steps they read the posters in excitement. Except the cynical almost-11-year-old, who smiled politely, but I could...
LaplandUK – review pics
We were invited to take the whole family to LaplandUK on Saturday. It’s a 3hr drive each way for us, but it looked so special, we thought it would be worth the drive + 4 children (well, okay, ‘I’ thought it would be, Mr Laura was dubious but not unwilling). The review is coming on the main site later today, but here’s some pics from the visit. Was it worth the money (£405)? Well. Tough question, and depends...
Another Grand Day Out in the Peak District – The Heights of Abraham
The Heights of Abraham is another great family day out in the Peak District. High above the small town of Matlock Bath, you get to it either by walking (long, hard, hideously steep climb) or by cable car (easy, ‘fun’, and only moderately heebie-jeebie-ish). The full review of our day out is coming soon to a LlittleStuff review near you, but in the meantime here’s a few pics of our visit:
Pics from our Grand Day Out at Chatsworth
We took our family holiday in the Peak District this year – and one of our top days out was to Chatsworth. The full review is coming over on LittleStuff very shortly, but here’s a sneak preview of our day in pictures: (NB – the Beyond Limits sculpture exhibition closes on the 1st November, so don’t miss it. Take the children this weekend and make the most of this glorious autumn to spend a day exploring the...
A Grand day out – at Beaulieu
Last week we had a day out at Beaulieu – I thought I was getting into a day of cars (sigh) and not much else, but actually Beaulieu is so much more than the National Motor Museum. Full review, as always, to come on LittleStuff later in the week, but here’s your sneaky preview pics from the day:
