I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I have a two-year-old boy who loves trains. As in LOVES them. We have a few options close to us when it comes to getting up close to trains and one of them is the Conwy Valley Railway Museum in Betws-y-Coed. At just over an hour from us in North Wales, it’s a little bit of a trek but not too bad for a nice afternoon out exploring. So, last weekend we bundled ourselves up in the car and headed deeper into Wales in hunt of some choo choo’s!
These streets will make you feel brand new…..Big lights will inspire you…..Let’s hear it for New York, New York, New York Blackpool, Blackpool, Blackpool. Ok, so I know it’s a stretch but last weekend we headed somewhere which during the month of October, probably has an electricity bill which matches Times Square. Yes, I’m talking about Blackpool Illuminations!!
It’s crazy to think that this time two weeks ago we were donning out wellies and loading up the trailer for our last family festival of the season. The nights are already darker and the days colder, but join me as we look back on our time at The Good Life Experience for one last summer hurrah!
It’s been a wonderful summer and one that we’ve filled with a mixture of holidays, weekends away, festivals and local community fetes. We’ve not managed to get along to as many local events as we would usually try to attend, but that’s just because we’ve just been so busy. However, we’ve made a real effort to attend at least a few.
Our most recent was on Bank Holiday Monday when we popped along to the Whittington Village Fete. Rather than telling you what we go up to, this time I thought I would simply show you and share my reasons why I think you too should go along to your local village fete.
This time last week we were setting out on a rather fabulous adventure: a weekend festival with the Bears. Now, you may think we were being over ambitious attempting a three-day festival with a 2-year-old and 3-year-old. But this particular festival is a little bit different.
