We love a city break in October half term and usually head somewhere cold and cosy in Europe but with constant changes in travel restrictions, we decided to stay closer to home and visit the beautiful city of York. There are so many museums and attractions to choose from, we had no trouble entertaining a… Continue reading Vikings, dungeons and foodie heaven – Visiting York with kids
Soudley Ponds in the Forest of Dean is one of our favourite places for a walk and picnic. It’s so unspoilt and hidden away from tourists, I almost don’t want to share it. With a few last days of summer sun, it was the perfect place to be for some cool, fresh forest air. There… Continue reading Family walks in the Forest of Dean – Soudley Ponds

It… Continue reading An Easter family holiday in South East Devon

I've always wanted to make Pastéis de Nata but thought they looked quite difficult but I found this recipe which was really easy and they've come out really well. It's a bit of a cheat recipe as it uses ready to roll puff pastry but still tasted delicious. Give them a try! A long established… Continue reading A treat for the weekend – Pastéis de Nata (Portuguese Custard Tarts)
