Back in February we visited The Baby Show at London’s Excel. I was heavily pregnant and we were spotting for super bargains for our new baby. Fast forward to 3 months later and we were back visiting The Baby Show, but this time in Birmingham and with baby Ivy. We were still looking for bargains, …
Yesterday (Monday 4th May 2015) we took a 5 minute drive to Ickwell, to see the famous Ickwell May Day celebrations on the village green, along side the celebrations of Beltane. Records show that the Ickwell may day festival, has been a custom tradition since 1563, The festival starts with the traditional procession from Northill church, half a mile …
On Sunday 19th of April, I had the great experience of visiting the Bedfordshire Baby Show, at Bedford’s Athletic Stadium. It was the first baby show of its kind for Bedfordshire and everyone was very excited. The Bedfordshire Baby and Toddler Show delivered us with a superb day of shopping, information and entertainment aimed at …
It’s the morning after and I’m aching all over, my husbands wallet hurts, and so do my feet. No! I wasn’t on some crazy night out in London (A matter of years ago I may well have been) but yesterday we were rocking out at the London Baby Show. Somehow I managed to be on my …
There is a shop tucked away somewhere in the deep murky depths of Milton Keynes. A shop in a loft to be precise, and the area of MK is Little Brickhill. The 2 year old shop is one of mystery and wonder. A celebration of freaks, death and the bizarre. The shop is Crystal Curios …
Recently we went to the Butterfly World Project in St. Albans for a family day out. The centre has lots of fun little gardens to walk around and enjoy. One garden in particular caught my eye. Named The Theatre Of Insects, and designed by Ivan Hicks, it aim is to create the most bizzare and …
Yup, you read that correctly. We met a mammoth. A real one. And we didn’t need time travel! The Natural History Museum in London are holding the fantastic exhibition Mammoths: Ice Age Giants at the moment, all about our favourite extinct wooly things. We headed on the train to London and made our way to …
The plan was to have a nice day out at a local forrest centre to celebrate Willows best friend, Williams 2nd birthday. I was to bring along a scrummy picnic, we could let the kids run riot while we have a good catch up and gossip. What happened? In true British fashion, it rained. All.bloody.day. …
Agh home. Yes home. ” A safari park?! Is she mad?! I always said she was a bits of a monkey!” Believe it or not my birth certificate states that I lived at Woburn Wild Animal Kingdom (before it later became Woburn Safari Park). My mum and dad were keepers along with my granddad and …
It was a bank holiday, nothing to do, bored and it was only 9am. Jay knows the area of St.Albans and Hatfield really well and we decided that a little drive over to that side of town was a must. After a little Googling for something to do we discovered the Butterfly World Project, situated …
Last week Jay was on A/L and we were lucky enough to spend a whole week together as a family. We have not had a car the whole time that we have been togther as a couple, but a few weeks ago we gained a nice family car and the freedom is now amazing. Jay …
I wrote this post 2 weeks ago after a very special meeting. I was debating wether I should post it or not. Don’t ask me why, because I do not know. After having it written up and ready to post and leaving it for all this while, I have finally decided to post it for …
On Tuesday night, my husband Jay and I were extremely lucky to be given the chance to go see Russell Brand live at the Hammersmith Apollo, on his very successful Messiah Complex world tour. We set off at 5pm, and although we were super excited I was feeling a little anxious because it was the …
We are very lucky that the town we live in has lots to offer for the kids to do (even though lots of people still moan that there is nothing to do lol). Flitwick Rufus Centre had arranged for Ark Farm to come and visit for the day. The day started with a big group …
