At the weekend we headed to the NEC for MCM Comic Con. We didn’t tell the kids where we were going until the day before and they were ridiculously excited, especially after I told Lydia that she might just see Supergirl! We were given press passes for the purpose of this post. We were especially interested …
A week or so ago, we headed over to Wansford near Peterborough to meet up with James’s Dad for a family trip on the Nene Valley Railway. The girls love steam trains, as does their Grandfather, and the NVR is a sort of middle point between our homes, which was great for meeting up for …
We were invited to go along to Alton Towers on Saturday for the Cbeebies Land “Meet and Tweet” event, to meet Rosie & Raggles from Everything’s Rosie. The theme park are running the event throughout the summer, with different characters from some of the best CBeebies shows.
As Sea Life Ambassadors, we were invited along to one of their 20th Anniversary special events to help celebrate the centre’s birthday. We got to take one of their new behind the scenes tours, eat cake (Georgie was a fan of this idea at 9am!), and enjoy the latest improvements to the centre. The girls …
On Saturday Lydia turned three – and she got to spend the day at Thomas Land at Drayton Manor, what a fab birthday treat! We were invited to come along and review the popular family attraction, that’s perfect for Thomas & Friends fans for all ages.
At the weekend we headed to Bournville to join a scarecrow hunt! It was time for the annual Bournville Scarecrow Festival, and the girls were really excited to find all of the scarecrows. The theme of the Festival was “favourite children’s stories” and we easily recognised almost all of the wonderful scarecrows. The scarecrows are all …
On Sunday we headed up to Tatton Park for Geronimo Festival, which was buckets of fun! I’ll be posting a no doubt photo-heavy post in a few days here on the blog, but for now you can get a peek of the action with this video on my YouTube channel. We had an amazing day and …
Ad disclosure: We were provided with free tickets in order to experience & blog about Hatton’s Enchanted Christmas Kingdom event. This post reflects my honest opinion on our day. We were invited back to Hatton Adventure World so that we could check out the Enchanted Christmas Kingdom event, and we went along on Sunday to take …
Yesterday we spent the morning at a local Brewers Fayre “Pub Restaurant” to celebrate the opening of the chain’s first “Play at Brewers Fayre” facility. The new soft play area at The Guild pub at Bromsgrove is the next step in their partnership with Beano, whose characters already adorn the kids menu.
We visited Hatton Adventure World back at Easter and really enjoyed it. When we were invited to go and check out Pumpkin Week, we happily made plans to go along on the first weekend of half term. Unfortunately we’ve all been taking it in turns to be ill since then and blogging has been put on the back burner, so this post is horribly late.
