Review: World of Play play session for young children, Suffolk.

Today we went to the newly opened World of Play, Ixworth in Suffolk.

It caters for children 7 and under offering a unique opportunity for completely immersive play. I took…

Days Out: Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach (during Covid19)

We recently came back off holiday from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. It’s a really odd time at the moment. With coronavirus still be about but the country opening up more, it was a big decision to make. Do we go and enjoy our holiday (booked before lockdown) or do we look into the risks and…

Coronavirus Diary: Visiting the National Trust

Mess Free Pumpkin Decorating Ideas for Halloween.

It’s October which means pumpkins and pumpkin patch photos have flooded onto social media. Shops are full of pumpkin carving kits, halloween decorations and costumes. It’s a fun time of year.

Our Family Adventure at Dower House, Norfolk (inc. disability and autism info)

I love camping. I’m not sure if it’s my girl guiding childhood or the fact I love outdoors but there’s something about being in the middle of nowhere that I enjoy. One of the places I like to go is Dower House in Norfolk. You have the option of taking a tent or a caravan,…
