Deals London is a great place to visit if you are looking to take a trip there and want to find some great treats that won’t cost the earth. They have amazing …

We’re three weeks into the Summer holidays now and I don’t think we’ve had a full sunny day yet. No panic though we’ve had a lot of fun already, one of my favourite days out has also been one of the simplest (and cheapest!)…

First off we headed for the tiny train station in our village, Erin had never been on a train and was beyond excited. She asked loads of questions about the level crossing, the train timetable, and how to embark/disembark the train. Usually her incessant …

Get yourself comfortable this may be a long one with lots of photos!
I’ve had a lovely day today out with the family. I’ve been meaning to visit St Andrews since forever and today we finally got round to doing it. We drove up early this morning and got to St Andrews at about half ten. We parked up and walked to the shoreline where we saw the famous golf course.

We crossed right across the golf course (there’s a public footpath, just mind the golf balls!) and …

The shock of the trip has settled a little, I can believe it’s happening now. The excitement is still coming in waves, but I’m a worrier so those waves are interspersed with worries, like missing my daughter and husband, I realise this sounds a bit wet but I’ll be away for a week when you include the travelling and I know it’s going to be really HARD. On a less dramatic level there are a number of smaller worries, how much money to take?, what clothes to take, …

I was born, and spent my early childhood in Swansea (South Wales). On a recent visit I visited two places I’ve never been before.
Swansea, Mumbles and the Gower is enjoying huge amounts of regeneration at the moment, the old Morfa Stadiwm (where I use to train) has been replaced by the shiny Liberty Stadium, home to the Ospreys and The Swans. SA1 is a swanky new dockside development akin to our own Leith area in Edinburgh, and the leisure centre which was closed because of asbetos has been …

We’re fortunate to have family that own a caravan near Pitlochry. Tummel Valley is a beautiful place to visit..if you don’t mind rain, it does rain a lot, but the scenery is stunning and more than makes up for the poor weather. So, what is there to do in Pilochry for toddlers?
The Queens View
Stop at The Queen’s View for breathtaking views, homemade cakes and teas and a quaint gift shop in which to spend some pocket money.
Children’s Amusements
The Children’s Amusements are just off the main high street, parking is available …

The title of this post should have read Loudon Castle. Let me start at the beginning…
Once upon a time there was a sunny day, in Scotland this is a rare occurrence. Mummy Bear, Daddy Bear and Baby Bear decided it would be nice to take advantage of the fine weather and jumped in the car and headed for Loudon Castle for a day of fun and frolics. Baby Bear was potty training and it wasn’t long before the call of nature, well, called. It called a …

I recently suggested a budget conscious day out in the centre of Edinburgh, today I have another value combo once again right in the centre of Edinburgh (around two minutes walk from the Royal Mile).
The National Museum of Scotland is on Chambers Street, unfortunately we visited with only an hour or so to spare. Even so we visited the bottom floor which houses interactive displays such as a reaction board thingy, em, you know, you hit the buttons as they light up and see how slow/fast your reactions are. …

Visiting Edinburgh with a preschooler? The Museum of Childhood is a FREE (please consider making a small donation if possible) attraction on Edinburgh’s famous Royal Mile, easy to overlook it’s placed about half way down. Spread over several floors the glass cases house antique toys, teddies and dolls. There are toys that young children will enjoy playing with including a dolls house and homemade fishing game along with several interactive exhibits. There is a small gift shop at the entrance/exit.
Enjoy a couple of hours here before …

We took Erin to Dynamic Earth a couple of weeks ago.? Dynamic Earth is an education based attraction in the heart of Edinburgh, close to the Parliament building and Holyrood Palace.
Price
?9.50 for adults, ?5.95 for children and free for under three’s.? Clearly I was pleased with not having to pay for Erin although I felt ?9.50 was a little steep.? However, if you make a donation (about ?1) you get a voucher back to use in the cafe worth a few pounds.? I think an entry fee of ?7-?7.50 would …
