So after a lovely day on Friday, we were up early and ready to go on Saturday. Well not quite, you see I thought my iPhone would automatically update the time difference but it didn’t and so we found ourselves being chased by Liz Jarvis to breakfast which ended up being a rather rushed affair.
Onwards and upwards, we made our way to our own Magical Moment experience where Erin got to meet Alice and the Mad Hatter. This was a definite highlight of the trip and we even …

I’m a bit late in posting this as it was over a week ago but we had such a fab time I didn’t want to let it go unmentioned.

We stayed in a Forest Holidays cabin on the North York moors. The weather was really lovely for the whole five days, which was pretty good considering it was still March. The cabin was a bargain at ?250 for five days and that was to sleep four, with a dog (we took our own lol) and a hot tub. …

The Journey
On ‘Daddy’s’ recommendation we took the nine and a half hour ‘scenic’ route which took us through Whitby and Scarborough (amongst other places….many….other….places). The six and a half hour route thr AA recommends may be a better option if you’re travelling with children.
Games played en route – 7 (it felt like more)
Roads driven – 47 ? (I lost count at Kingston upon Hull)
“Are we nearly there yet mummy’s” – just 4 (a miracle)
Wee’s at the side of the motorway – 1
Times I considered divorce – several hundred (thousand!)

Just before our trip to Pitlochry I received an email with the title ‘A Bit of a Random Question’, the email was from a PR company… I receive emails like this fairly regularly, I’ve been lucky enough to receive freebies like books and cosmetics and have even been invited to a cartoon launch and a film premier (unfortunately I was unable to attend either) I love getting these sort of emails they are the bloggers perk, and who doesn’t love receiving freebies?
Anyway, I open the email and am astonished …

Our little trip has come to an end, we’re sitting at home eating chocolate and drinking coffee. Before I forget though I do have to report back on the musical delights of Reunited (the Saturday night act at the caravan park, see last post for details).
We headed to the club in plenty of time for the bingo, finding a seat was a bit of a challenge and I got off to a bad start with one of the Reunited members when I asked if she required …

Family holidays and teenagers rarely mix (I should know, it wasn’t that long ago!). Too young to enjoy the delights of being an adult and too old to even consider the kids clubs, it’s difficult to keep everyone happy especially if you have children of different age groups. Here’s an idea;
Tell your teenager that you are going away for the weekend. Charge them with choosing the destination (within a specific mile radius), the route, tell them they must ensure that the destination/s must suit the whole family …
