Before having kids we loved city breaks. Dave and I went to Rome for his birthday about eleven years ago. It was whilst we were planning our wedding and a bit of a celebration of actually paying for our wedding – a final treat before the big day six months later. That trip to Rome is probably, even now, one of my favourite holidays. I definitely left a bit of…

Disney World is a holiday of a lifetime – although so many people go and then cannot wait to go back. But going to Disney World for the first time takes so much planning that it’s hard to even know where to start. We started planning our trip to Disney World when LP was born, seven years before we actually made the trip. It was a holiday I had spent…

The first is the futuristic monorail system and the second is the old style paddle boat. The first…

The Solent Hotel is within easy reach of junction 9 of the M27 and really well placed for the surrounding…
As the children had an inset day at school at the start of January, we took advantage of the last weekend of the Christmas holidays and stretched out our time together with a brilliant weekend in Derbyshire at Darwin Forest. Our drive to rural Derbyshire brought us to the outskirts of the Peak District, home of Darwin Forest. We were immediately impressed as soon as we drove into the park…
