This is the third and final part of my mini-series of blogs documenting our time in beautiful Bude for a week-long family break during the Easter holidays. You can find part one here and part two here. We’ve been home for over a month now and looking back over all my photos and remembering all the fun…
A few weeks ago on a lovely, sunny Saturday, the girls and I headed up to Trentham Gardens for the afternoon. Trentham is somewhere we go several times a year – it’s one of our favourite places to visit as there are loads of things there for the girls to enjoy whatever the season – the lakeside walk and…
This is part two of my mini-series of blogs about being back in beautiful Bude for a week long family break during the Easter holidays. You can find part one here. As I started putting this post together I’ve realised just how much fun we managed to pack into the time we had. We had a…
If you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know that we visit Bude in North Cornwall every year and this year was no different – we spent the first week of the Easter holidays there. Whenever we go we make sure that we fulfill certain traditions (like having an ice cream every day) and do…

Every year we visit Bude in North Cornwall for a week-long family holiday. I’ve written before about how both my husband and I spent a lot of time there as children and how we’re now passing on the tradition with our girls by returning to the same place and making plenty of new memories together…
As I sit here typing this it’s the middle of the Easter holidays and we’ve not long arrived home from a week-long holiday in Cornwall.

Trentham Gardens is one of our favourite local places to visit and we usually go at least once in each season – it’s beautiful there year-round, with the ever-changing landscape and garden displays and there is plenty to keep family members of all generations entertained. Summertime shows off glorious bursts of colour (the wildflower meadows are my…
One Sunday at the start of February we made the hour-long journey further north to spend the afternoon at Rode Hall in Cheshire. Our previous visit to Rode Hall was in May last year. My birthday is at the beginning of May and I like to make a visit somewhere to see the bluebells as they’re usually in bloom…
