Posts about the summer
I’m just back from my first ever camping trip and first ever family music festival, so being addicted to lists I thought I would share and share alike! I promise you won’t get such a comprehensive list elsewhere because: (a) I’m a bit wacky and love a bit of glamping and (b) I’m retentive about […]
Ok I admit it, the Big hairy northern one was right! It might not happen often, but his tendency to want to spend the spangdoolies was correct this time. A few weeks ago he had a big panic about our tent and said he wanted to go back and look at the Vango Airbeam; basically […]
I’m EXCITED. You might have noticed that after my ‘why family festivals are fab‘ post and ‘what to wear to a family festival‘. It’s quite likely I could become a bit of a festival bore! Nah, you love me anyway don’t you? (If you are actually loving it, make sure you keep an eye on […]
You’re packing the picnic basket, ear defenders for the kids and maybe even the tent if you are brave like us. Perhaps you were inspired by my post on why family festivals are great? But what’s worrying you is ‘OMG what am I going to wear to a family festival?‘ It’s not exactly glastonbury, and […]
I know many of you won’t be even considering the hundreds/thousands of pounds that it costs to go on holiday this summer. You might also be struggling to take 7-14 days off work. I’ve got a great alternative for you … Hows about thinking about a Family Festival instead? If you’ve never been to […]

So this year was our first ever summer family holiday. I know it seems weird it took us so long, but time just seemed to take over (Curly Headed boy was 5.5yrs this summer). So when we came to book for a family of four I was HORRIFIED by the price. Clearly all of us […]
We are only just going on our first family summer holiday, so I hadn’t really faced the whole practicalities of travelling with a co-sleeping Little Dimples, and a 5yo Curly Headed Boy who still needed some form of bed guard to keep him in bed. When we have travelled with my son before, we had […]
I so look forward to the holidays, but the last half-term was a huge disaster, so much so that I couldn’t bring myself to blog about it. The big hairy northern one was away, the little irish granny I found in Tescos was ill, and I still had some work to do, despite it being […]
Today we went to the Hertfordshire County Show for the first time ever, so I thought I’d pop you guys a quick post incase you are thinking of going tomorrow or monday (or even another year!), especially if you’ve never been before like us. So here are my tips: Make sure: Go early! We got […]
