I have fallen for a bike. It’s PRETTY.
I need a new bike. My current bike is a magnificent Muddy Fox which I inherited from my Brother in law – 20 years ago. It’s fabulous, and a classic, and an excellent bike which I have no right to replace, really… but it’s old, and past its best, and really Not Very Pretty. So every now and again I meander through the bike shops, oohing at the lovely bikes that I’d really really like to own instead. I...
Inside out with Subway Kids’ Pak ™
Last weekend the three youngest and myself went on a small adventure, courtesy of Subway. We left Dorset and headed off to that there Londinium, because Subway thought we might like to try out their new Inside Out Kids’ Pak ™ before watching the film itself (because Subway have teamed up with Disney Pixar to offer their smallest customers an Inside Out themed Kids’ Pak ™). We rather agreed that we might ;) We’re...

Mug For Life | Father’s Day Gift Ideas
We properly LOVE Mug For Life – and their Tea Lovers Gift Pack is genius. We bought the boxed gift set for the tea-mad 15yr old at Christmas, and it as properly amazing – he drinks a fair few mugs a day, sitting at his desk; which means a fair few mugs-worth of sloshes and drips up the stairs (and a few spills across the keyboard…). But no more! The ONLY mug he’s allowed to take upstairs is his Mug for Life...
Free checks on ANY child car seat during Child Safety Week – and 5% off ANY car seat | Halfords discount code
Free car seat checks on ANY car – and 5% Halfords discount code if you need a new child’s car seat. When my hulking great 16yr old was a weeny boy, car seats were a completely different animal. By the time he started school at age 4, he and his friends were all just sitting on a booster cushion, which was usually the toddler car seat with the back removed. Don’t you suck your teeth in horror – we were doing the...
Rock Climbing and Abseiling in Dorset for our #GoProAdventures
I think the most dreaded of our #GoProAdventures was the Rock Climbing and Abseiling in Dorset – only two of us were excited about the morning with Appetite for Adventure. The rest of us were quietly fearful! We couldn’t have hoped for better weather, though – the walk down to Dancing Ledge was utterly spectacular with sweeping blue skies meeting the sea on the horizon and barely a wisp of cloud. We all loved the walk so...
