Hello and welcome back to a new #AdventureCalling with me and Lauren from Exploring The Landscape. I hope you’ve all managed to get outside in the last couple of weeks. I’m not going to lie, I am desperate for Spring to arrive. The wet and windy weather is wearing me down, I can’t wait for…
#AdventureCalling Outdoor Linky Week 63
Happy New Year to you all! We’re a week late with this edition of #AdventureCalling as we figured people would probably have been busy last week (or just plain hungover!) Anyway, we’re back to normal again now and it’s great to see you all. This time of year it can be tough to fight the…
#AdventureCalling Outdoor Linky 61
So dare I mention the C word? It’s December so surely it’s allowed now? Are you ready, or are you like me and haven’t actually done a thing yet, it’s all good. I’m not getting stressed this year and I’m going to enjoy it! Hopefully amongst all the busyness, you’ve managed to fit in some…
#AdventureCalling Outdoor Linky Week 59
I hope you all managed to squeeze some outdoor time in during half term. We were super busy with halloween parties, fireworks and enjoying some time together. It’s been actually nice to get back to the normal routine after the craziness last week! So anyway, let’s get this party started! If you haven’t joined us…
#AdventureCalling Outdoor Linky Week 57
I love this time of year! There’s a real chill in the air and I’m really enjoying our daily walk to school across the park. Luckily, we’ve had lots of bright, clear days, but even when it rains I’ve loved it. It’s definitely my favourite time for getting outdoors. So anyway, let’s get this party…
Tent Review: Coleman FastPitch Air Valdes 4
I’ve been thinking about this review for a while, but I wanted to wait until we’d tried out our new Coleman FastPitch Air Valdes 4 a few times and given it a proper test. After 4 nights of wind and rain in the Lake District, as well as a couple of shorter camping trips, I…
Review: Paradise Wildlife Park
A couple of weeks ago we had our first proper day out as a family of four to Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire. We’d never been before, so it was a great chance to try somewhere new, plus it was a nice treat for Finn, who has not had as much attention as he’s used…
Highway Rat Activity Trail at Fineshade Wood
Finn loves a story before bed and The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson is a firm favourite in our house. In fact, I’m sure that he pretty much knows it by heart! I’ve spent a lot of time indoors this week, trying frantically to clear my desk before baby arrives, so we were all in…

The Opening of Delapré Abbey & Celebrating 900 Years of History
Last week I, along with some other Northamptonshire bloggers and various local dignitaries, was invited along to the official opening of Delapré Abbey. We’ve visited many times before to explore the gardens and parkland, but up until now the Abbey itself has been out of bounds. After an extensive restoration programme, the building was opened…
