Here is my final blog post on our recent holiday to Bluestone National Park in Pembrokeshire, Wales, with all the pros and cons of the stay, whether I think it is value for money and the fab video montage that my very clever Hubs put together of our time there.
Without further ado here is the video which includes (a lot of) climbing, much embarrassment of Mummy including jumping on a bouncy castle, climbing up a wall and swinging from the rafters, the kids helping out in our lodge and much more.… Read more
With a slight delay here is our third day at Bluestone National Park. Our final day was filled with getting out of our comfort zone, both for me and our 7 year old daughter. Oh and lots of heights.
We woke after another great night’s sleep, ready to attack our final full day at Bluestone.… Read more
The holiday fun continues with day two of our holiday at the fab Bluestone national park in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The fresh air and non-stop activities mean that the girls are sleeping even better than usual, which means we get to have a (relative) lie-in too.
L and C slept late and then entertained each other in C’s cot, leaving Hubs and me to sleep 🙂
We had booked C in to 3 hours of creche activity – Captain Cove Seaside Discovery – in the morning, during which time we intended to go back to the Adventure Centre, where we hoped L would feel more comfortable letting herself “fall” when on the climbing wall.… Read more
Arriving in Pembrokeshire on Monday afternoon was a wonderful experience. I’d say that 99% of my visits to Wales have been in the rain, so to arrive in the blazing sunshine, to the beautiful surroundings of South Wales was a real treat.
This week, Hubs, L, C and I are guests of Bluestone National Park near Narberth and over the next few days I’ll be posting about what we’re up to, before giving a final overall review at the end of our time here.… Read more
If you follow me on social media you’ll know that I was solo parenting last week – from Saturday early afternoon a week ago until last night, to be precise. Hubs was away in Morocco on holiday with his twin brother and their best friend (and his best man from our wedding); he’d just finished a pretty stressful job, and has got a fair amount on his plate with an ill father, so it seemed right that he spend some chill time with these two key people.… Read more
I’ve had a bucket list kicking round in my head ever since watching the film with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, so when Money Supermarket launched a competition, getting bloggers to post about their bucket list, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to actually write them down.
Here is my very own bucket list:
Recently a friend posted on Facebook that she had left her phone somewhere and it felt like she had lost her right arm. Instead of thinking it was an OTT remark, my first thought was “what a nightmare!”. I am the first to admit it, I am a slave to my phone.… Read more
As it’s the summer and I’m on holiday I have been wearing slightly nicer clothes than I would normally, so it makes total sense that today I should link up to Mummy’s Got Style‘s all new Fashion Friday.
Here is my Lanzarote, family holiday style:
When on holiday I tend to go very low-key – minimal make-up, zero jewellery (that’s an all-inclusive holiday band you can see on my wrist there, sooooo stylish!).… Read more
After our family ski holiday to the Alps in February we decided we would have a very cheap summer holiday and staycation in London. Then winter went on. And on. And on. And the idea of not going somewhere to get sun became unthinkable. So Hubs and I decided to get a cheap last minute deal to somewhere hot.… Read more
