When LittleStuff went Quad Biking in Wales. And got Muddy. #BridgendBites

When BridgendBites suggested we might try Quad biking during our trip, the house might have echoed with a teeny bit of cheering. Too right we would! So we headed off to Adventures Wales in Porthcawl (very close to Cardiff, just a bit further West along the Welsh coast if your brain can’t place it) – and this time all six of us were signed up to join in.

I’ll be honest – the children weren’t over-excited. Let’s be honest – a walk in the woods couldn’t really compare to quad biking, could it? But I was looking forward to it, and the dog could join in this one, so I gave them...

Original Diving – Family Holidays with a twist

So why not Rent a Private Gozitan farm house and learn to dive as a family!     These days, Gozo basks in relative anonymity as the smaller and more discrete sister island of Malta, with diving in the island’s surrounding waters replacing sea-nymphs as the main lures for travelers.
