With the summer holidays stretching out in front of us, it can often be hard to think of activities to keep children entertained. Something different for a fun day out or just a summer themed activity that the children will enjoy. I thought I’d put together all the things happening across Surrey this summer as well as some activity ideas to help plan your summer holidays.
Me & Mine {June 2022}
Oh what a lovely month this one has been. Although we only spent three nights in Denmark, that trip has completely overshadowed anything else that happened in June and I think, a few weeks later, we are still recovering from it!
Jorvik Dig Review
When we were in Yorkshire at Easter we bought a Jorvik Group ‘Pastport’ ticket which includes entrance to DIG Jorvik as well as the other Jorvik Group attractions – the York City Walls Experience, Barley Hall and the York Viking Centre. Aimed at 5-12 year olds, it’s billed as an interactive archaeological adventure giving children an insight into York’s varied history and the chance to discover artefacts from the last 2000 years.

I love making traditional recipes that I remember from my childhood at home or days at school and this am and coconut tray bake is one of those recipes. Simple to make, sweet and delicious, it takes me right back to being eight years old, having it after my school dinner, often with custard on top.

It’s that time of the month again where I share all the things we’ve been enjoying over the last few weeks. This month has been a lovely one and one that has felt pretty much back to normal – something we haven’t felt that often since the pandemic!
The Best Thank You Teacher Gifts from Red Letter Days
*This is a collaborative post
It’s that time of year where we start to think about what to get our children’s teachers as gifts at the end of term. If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to thank the teachers, give them something to remember the children by and also show them just how much they’re appreciated.
Living Arrows – 26/52 {2022}
Welcome back to another week of Living Arrows! I love this project, I’ve been doing it for so many years now and it’s always nice seeing who links up and watching children and families grow throughout the year.
45 Pubs with Play Areas in Hampshire 2022
If you’re anything like us, wherever you go as a family, you want to make sure that the children will be entertained. Because of this, there’s always that joy of finding a pub with not just a beer garden but a play area in it too. A pub that knows that parents want to enjoy a drink and relax whilst their children play happily, make new friends but remain close by and supervised.
Dudley Zoo and Castle Review
Over the May bank holiday weekend we spent a couple of nights in Dudley. We had a break there last year on the way to Wales and wanted to see more of the area so we took the opportunity to go back to Blists Hill and the Black Country Living Museum but also went to Dudley Zoo and Castle for the first time.
Things to do in Billund Denmark with Kids
Disclosure: We were invited on this break for the purpose of this review however all opinions are my own.
We spent May half term in Billund and wish we could have spent longer there. It’s such a fantastic place and a great option as a city break alternative for families with young children. There’s so much to do in and around Billund so i thought I’d put together a little guide for travelling to Billund with kids.
