Dear Mummy, one of the things we love about England is the glorious countryside and there seems to be plenty on our doorstep. However, we never thought there would be lavender fields near us, presuming that we would only find them in France. Almost by accident we stumbled on ‘The Lavender Fields’ just outside Selborne in...

Dear Mummy, we love heading to the south coast at the weekends, but with so much to offer from sandy beaches, fishing villages and historical places of interest the British coastline is more than just a two-day destination. We usually find that when we are due good weather the motorways are jammed packed, so it's... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, it's a beautiful June weekend and we returned to our favourite National Trust property Mottisfont. Every year we make our annual pilgrimage to visit this estate in the heart of Hampshire.

Dear Mummy, after reading a lot of mixed reviews about Geronimo Festival we were eager to head up North and check out this family festival first hand. We travelled ‘north of the wall’ a good 6 hours journey from Hampshire (Daddy's SAT NAV said 3.5hrs) but traffic was bad on our journey. As we left... Continue Reading →

Dear Mummy, over the Spring break, on the odd day we didn’t have rain, we ventured to the coast. Thankfully we didn’t have far to travel as we stayed in the New Forest and with a quick jaunt south we were on the beach. We we headed to Highcliffe Beach near Christchurch on the Hampshire/Dorset...

Dear Mummy, recently we went to a Day Out with Thomas where we met the REAL Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends. I’ve been watching Thomas since I was a baby so when Mid Hants Railway Watercress Line asked if we’d like to visit their Day Out with Thomas, we couldn’t resist! There’s something so...

Dear Mummy, we love celebrating Easter and every year we participate in an Easter Egg Hunt. So imagine our delight at being invited to have Afternoon Tea with the REAL Easter Bunny!

Dear Mummy, we trekked into an unexplored section of Paultons Park last weekend. It's called Little Africa and it’s located right next to Peppa Pig World within the park. With a very tribal theme it is a stark contrast to all the rainbows and dinosaurs from Peppa and George’s world. Paultons Park in Hampshire unveiled... Continue Reading →

Dear Mummy, it’s not often that we see the white stuff in this part of the UK. Being just off the south coast of England temperatures never usually go below 2- degrees, however the "Beast from the East" was on his way! We got a visit from the abdominal snowman traveling from Siberia to bring us... Continue Reading →
Dear Mummy, every so often we discover a new location worthy of a photographic visit. Today we stumbled on a gem almost by accident. While on our tour of Northern Ireland over the half term holidays we decided to roam away from my Grandparents house in Belfast and explore the Causeway Coast. I'd heard my... Continue Reading →
