Last weekend we were invited by Activity Gift to have afternoon tea on the Thames as a family. We love afternoon tea but have never had it on a boat trip before so we were excited to get aboard and set sail!
When we had our half term break in Cornwall, we spent a weekend in Devon and explored the local area. One of our first stops was Berry Pomeroy Castle, an English Heritage site near where we were staying.
We spent a weekend in Canterbury and whilst we were away we visited Howletts Wild Animal Park as it was really close to where we were staying. We last went to Howletts before kids and couldn’t wait to visit with the children.

At the weekend we went to Brighton for the day, one of my favourite places, and were invited to experience the Brighton i360. We’d actually taken the children on it once when they were much younger but they couldn’t remember it, so we were all excited to go again.
On a trip to Brighton last summer we couldn’t help but notice that there appeared to be an upside-down house, plonked next to the seafront. Billed as part art installation, part optical illusion, we were keen to see what the fuss was about.
On our trip to Orlando Florida last summer, we did all the big attractions like Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Kennedy Space Centre. On our very last day we had to check out of our villa by 10am, but the flight from Orlando wasn’t until 3pm so we had a spare morning to do something exciting. We researched attractions near the airport and discovered WonderWorks on International Drive, which isn’t too far from the airport. We decided to give it a go to end our holiday with something different.
Last year for Dave’s birthday we did Up at the O2, climbing the O2 as a family. It was an amazing experience and we wanted to find something just as exciting to do this year. I spontaneously booked a Thames Rockets experience and couldn’t wait to get out on the Thames!
On the children’s last day of the school term we kicked off our festive activities with a trip to RHS Glow at RHS Wisley Gardens. We love a light trail and after going to Waddesdon Manor and Hampton Court Palace last year we wanted to try somewhere different – and chose Wisley.
As a family, we quite often enjoy going out for the day during the spring and summer to Brighton. We play on the penny arcades, get fish and chips on the pier and the children enjoy paddling in the sea.
On our last visit, we discovered the Rampian Visitor Centre, nestled under one of the red brick arches on the seafront. Free to enter, we decided to see what it was all about.
Disclosure: We were invited to see this show for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.
Last night we were invited to Camberley Theatre to see this year’s pantomime – Beauty and the Beast. We love going to Camberley Theatre. Not only is it our local theatre but it’s cosy, friendly and they always put on a good show.
