This year we have embraced the festival life for the first time, visiting a mix of festivals across the UK including the BBC summer social in Liverpool which we were very kindly invited to. The BBC Summer Social is a two day festival with no camping aimed at families with children 12 and under. As with all the festivals we have visited this year we did lots of research before hand therefore I know first […]
At the start of June we took the boys to their first ever festival, Cheshire Fest, and we had such a good time that since then we have been looking for more family festivals that we can visit this year and are thinking of going to the BBC Summer Social (3-4 August, 2019). It looks like it is going to be amazing, completely aimed at children and families and incredible value for money with everything […]
Last week I was invited over to Liverpool to try out the new menu at the Sapporo Teppanyaki restaurant and took my mum along with me for her birthday treat. If you haven’t been to a teppanyaki style restaurant before then there are a few things you need to know before you book. 1.It is a Japanese style restaurant which leads to number….. 2. The food is cooked and plated up as and when it is […]
I have written about Liverpool a few times because it quite simply is one of my all time favourite cities, which is helpful seen as though it is only 40 minutes up the road from us. I love Liverpool mainly for it’s diversity, there is literally something for everyone with so much choice from family days out, couple retreats, shopping trips and nights out, not to mention their abundance of cultural festivals and museums. […]
Liverpool is one of my favourite cities because there is loads to see and do and there is always something new going on from Giant parades, to cultural festival, and of course the Christmas markets. As well as having loads to see and do there are also lots of lovely hotels in Liverpool and with 3 train stations it’s easily accessible for a day trip or weekend break. If you are thinking of visiting Liverpool […]
On Sunday we took the train over to Liverpool and enjoyed a lovely family day out. We started our day with a trip to VR-here Liverpool, which is located just outside of the city center in an industrial area but is within walking distance, even for little legs like those of the tiddler. We hadn’t told the boys where we were headed but as soon as they read the sign outside they were so excited […]
Despite living here for the best part of 14 years we had never visited Spaceport or taken the ferry across the Mersey to Liverpool, although we had talked about doing it a few times, that is until this week when we combined both activities and had a fun filled, educational, family Sunday. We headed over to Spaceport for 10 am when it opened, which I would recommend you do too if you decide to […]
One of Liverpool’s most iconic landmarks will be transformed into a magical, immersive, Christmas attraction for 2018. St Luke’s “Bombed-Out” Church, situated at the top of Bold Street, will be turned into a Winter Wonderland for almost four weeks this festive season and is set to become the ‘must visit’ Christmas Grotto experience of the year in Liverpool. Set against beautiful and atmospheric festive backdrops and with lots to explore, families will be escorted by an […]
On Monday the boys and I were lucky enough to get some last minute tickets to watch Pinocchio: The boy within, at The Epstein Theatre in Liverpool. As a family we love a good show and try and go as often as we can but we had never been to the Epstein Theatre before and as Billy was working it was just me and the kids, so we decided to make a day of it […]
I am a huge lover of personlaised gifts. I have said it time and time again, I think they just show that little bit of extra thought has gone into buying a present for someone and they then become special keepsakes that you are more likely to cherish over the years. I am also an avid reader. I love books so much that I even joined a book club in January and now meet up […]
