Reliving my childhood holiday memories

by StaceyUpdated on March 29, 2024March 25, 2018

I’ve been abroad a few times – mainly by boat or road – but I’ve only ever been on an aeroplane once. I remember the exact date I went because it was the date of an event that happened in September when I was a teenager in 2001. But let’s not be sombre here; it was one of my favourite holidays that I can really remember, and the destination was Tenerife. Ever since I’ve wanted to go back. I’ve written previously about how I would love to take the boys on overseas adventures at some point in the future; I …

Around the world in 2018 | a luxury travel bucket list

by StaceyUpdated on November 28, 2025December 23, 2017

Photo by Christine Roy on Unsplash Though the title says, as much as I would love to travel around the world in 2018, it most definitely is not going to happen. In fact, we haven’t even travelled out of the UK for almost ten years. So the boys have never been abroad, but I would love to broaden their travel horizons and give them some amazing experiences. Even myself, I’ve only been as far as the Canary Islands, and that’s when I was a teenager. So yeah, quite a while ago… The lovely people over at Destination2 have asked me to put together a travel bucket list …

In the animal zone at Amazona | Review

by StaceyUpdated on November 12, 2017November 13, 2017

Whenever we go on holiday, I always make sure we have a visit to somewhere that includes animals. When we went to Norfolk back in August I wanted to go somewhere we hadn’t been before, and we were given the chance to visit Amazona Zoo. The boys have never actually visited a zoo before, other than Jacob when he was six months old so doesn’t really remember. Therefore I thought this would be a lovely day out for them. Amazona Zoo in Cromer, Norfolk, is one of the county’s most unique and fun days out where families can discover South American wildlife. The zoo …

Exploring the Norfolk Broads with Herbert Woods | Review

by StaceyUpdated on January 26, 2024October 13, 2017

Back at the end of August we went on our annual family holiday to the Norfolk Broads. As well as all four of us, my brother-in-law came with us too. We stayed in a cottage on this holiday, but as children The Husband and his brother used to go on boating holidays on the Norfolk Broads; that was their favourite kind of family holiday. I have a done a couple of boating holidays but they weren’t really my thing; though, that might have had something to do with the fact I didn’t get along with father-in-law too well, and they …

My festival bucket list

by StaceyUpdated on November 12, 2020August 7, 2017

When it comes to the summer season, there are so many festivals happening. Music festivals, food festivals, art festivals; or festivals that have everything going on! Often these are really family or children focused and can last for a whole weekend. As a family we’ve only actually attended one festival, which was a local food festival at a country park. A food festival is my idea of heaven, especially when there are dozens of samples waiting to be tasted! As you may have seen, I love discovering new brands and trying new foods. I could manage to spend a whole load …
