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...
Kayaking in Dorset for our #GoProAdventures
For our recent #GoProAdventures challenge we were aided and abetted by some really fabulous Outdoor Activity companies here in Dorset. Here’s the first in the series about our Dorset Adventures – River Kayaking in Wareham. Our two eldest had both tried Kayaking on a school’s activity week, but the rest of the family had never set foot in one. So it was with a nervous shiver of trepidation running under the excitement...

Snowboarding in the Cairngorms – about as much fun as you can have as a family.
While we were staying at Fisherman’s Cottage with One Off Places, we took Dora the Caravelle down to Aviemore one afternoon for an unforgettable afternoon as guests of The Ski School and Cairngorm Mountain. The husband and I had tried snowboarding about 20 years ago on a dry ski slope, but we had a feeling that a 3hr private family lesson in real snow way up high on a mountain side might be a very different experience… The...
Chiquitos Poole – Mexican food for all the family
When Chiquitos Poole offered us a voucher to review their local restaurant in Tower Park it seemed a perfect choice – the boy LOVES Mexican food! It was No.1 son’s 15th birthday a couple of weeks ago, and we wanted somewhere that was child friendly but not one of our usual haunts to take him out for a quick family celebration. When I rang to book I admit I was amused by the way the telephone was answered… *deep...
