A Taste Of Leon – London! Leon is one of those fast casual spots you see dotted all over London, and for the most part it delivered exactly what it promised: quick food that felt fresher, more substantial, and a touch healthier than your standard grab and go. I lived in London for 15 years and always meant to try it but never did… That’s changed now and I have to admit, I will definitely consider it more now as […]
The Science Museum – Summer Holidays 2026! The Science Museum has always been one of those places that feels woven into the fabric of my childhood thanks to my Grandmother who took me when I would stay with her in London, and now into my children’s too. Every visit carries a little nostalgia, a little discovery, and this latest trip, exploring the new space gallery was no exception. The old space exhibition had been there for around forty years, so […]
Shakespeare’s Globe Tour – Summer Holidays 2026! Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre has that magical ability to make history feel alive, and our 50‑minute tour did exactly that. It was interesting, entertaining, and unexpectedly immersive from the moment we stepped inside. Raffie, my eight year old, was the one who’d asked to go fresh from studying a bit of Shakespeare at school; and I’ll admit I’d quietly wondered whether the reality might bore him. But no! He was utterly captivated, saying it […]
The Boardroom And Eric’s Pizza At Yalm – Norwich! The brilliantly vibrant food hall in the heart of Norwich, Yalm, is the place you can go as a group, but order individually from whichever restaurant you love most? We always have a mixture because we can never quite bring ourselves to only plump for one thing, but one of our family staples when we visit is Eric’s pizza. We love it so much, one time I went without the kiddos […]
Summer/Trinity Term 2026! This was the big one for Florence, GCSEs which she worked so hard for and as we headed into the end of the academic year we did so with sunshine on hand which always makes everything feel so much better. Exams, fun with friends, parties, the world cup, trips to London, rugby, cricket, football, swimming, dancing, a mini break away at our lovely Suffolk Yurts, sports days, performances with musicals and school gala! So many lovely things […]
Naked Pea – The One Ingredient Protein Powder From Naked Nutrition! If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll know I’m always on the lookout for little changes that make life feel a bit easier without turning me into someone who needs a separate cupboard just for supplements (although i am getting close so having to prioritise the very best ones). Recently I’ve been using Naked Nutrition’s Naked Pea (definitely a keeper) and it’s become one of those things […]
How to Save Money on Air Con Regas Without Paying Extra With summer finally arriving and school runs, holiday road trips, and weekend days firmly back on the agenda, a working air conditioning system feels less like a luxury and more like a necessity. Yet it’s one of those car maintenance jobs that so many of us quietly ignore — right up until we’re sweltering on the motorway with four grumpy children and a dog in the back. If your car’s air con has started blowing lukewarm […]
May Witsun Half Term 2026! We went into half term with sunshine – hurrah! And while end of year exams had been taken by Jimmy poor Florence still had far to goo with her GCSEs so the revision didn’t stop. We managed to get her out with us on a couple of occasions but mainly she sat in the garden being studious the poor thing. The rest of us ate, dayed out, beached and sunned… It felt like being on […]
Summer Glam in Southwold with British Boxers! There’s something about British Boxers nightwear that just makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a more glamorous version of your own life. We fell head‑over‑slippers for their matching Christmas pyjamas as a whole family (honestly, peak festive joy) and now that summer has rolled in, we’ve glided straight into their warm‑weather pieces like we’re auditioning for a holiday on the French Riviera. Failing that, we’ll happily take Southwold, our own slice of […]
Sunshine Adventures at Pensthorpe: Wild Rootz, Wildlife & a Half‑Term Poo Trail! A day at Pensthorpe in full sunshine is basically childhood bottled — wild, messy, nature-soaked joy with a side of ice cream and muddy ankles. It’s one of those places that somehow manages to be both beautifully curated and wonderfully wild, and this visit reminded me exactly why we keep going back – which we have been doing ever since Florence was a baby! Gardens That Feel Like […]
