This is a different post to my normal repertoire of camping tips and walks, however I thought it would be good to try something different. Plus, gardening is a great way to spend time outside all year round. I have to say I’m not overly green fingered, I […]
The last time we went to the Lake District I was pregnant, so we’d been eager to return with Finn for ages. We finally managed to fit in a family camping trip last week and, despite the fact we couldn’t do everything we would have done pre-parenthood, we all […]
Our stay didn’t get off to the best start. After a long drive up, we arrived at Lanefoot Farm, only for there to be no record of our booking. I was already tired and grumpy and, as I had paid in full upfront, I had expected everything to […]
We had considered going away for a quick break this week, but Luke had a bad back and the idea of lugging a tent around was less than appealing! However, I still wanted to do something outdoorsy with Finn so I consulted my National Trust handbook and the […]

Did you know that a fire can destroy a tent in 60 seconds? I don’t know about you, but I find that terrifying. I’ve been lucky enough to never experience a tent fire, but even the thought of it makes me determined to do everything I can to […]
We’ve been to Stowe before, so I won’t bore you with the details again. Last week I was eager to spend some time with Finn. Working 50 hours a week doesn’t leave a lot of free time so I wanted to make the most of my day off. […]
One of the highlights of our recent trip to Norfolk was a morning at West Runton Beach. We parked in the car park on Water Lane (NR27 9QP) which costs £2.50 for the day. There are also public toilets and a small cafe here. It’s been a year […]
