As a family we love to be outside and exploring. One of the best things about Henry being that little bit older now is that we are back camping again! We did go away a few times last year, but it was a little bit difficult with him as he wasn’t quite walking fully and we spend a lot of time stopping him from crawling on wet grass. This year though, we are off! Our first stop was the lakes where we had the best time with friends. So, here’s our little guide to camping in Ullswater.
If you are a regular reader, then you may remember that we took a trip to Bluestone Wales in November last year to check out their festive offer. Everyone had a great time, so when the opportunity came up to go again as part of their #BluestoneBlogger programme and we jumped at the chance and couldn’t wait to check it out in the sunshine this time.
We weren’t disappointed. So, here is our very own pocket guide to Bluestone Wales.
Some wife’s weekends are filled with football as their husbands sit glued to the TV, in our house though it’s all about motorsport. F1, MotoGP, WRC….you name it. If it has an engine then the odds are that he’s keeping track of what’s going on. Luckily for me – and him – I don’t mind. I have the fondest memories of being allowed to eat our Sunday dinner on trays as we watched Mansell fight it out with Senna, and I share a bucket list dream with him of slowly over the years watching every race in the F1 calendar live.
Last weekend we were lucky enough to be able to make a start with the Spanish Grand Prix.
Nestled in the hills of Pembrokeshire there is a little oasis: a magical place which has taken over the 500 acres of the Bluestone resort for two months of the year. Set in Britain’s only Coastal National Park: not only can you enjoy the sloping hills, enchanting woodlands and skim stones on the lake durnig a stay at Bluestone. But during November and December, Bluestone is also the gateway to a magical place. Elftopia!
If you follow me over on Instagram then you will know that we’ve just had a wonderful weekend away camping….ok I admit. It was actually ‘glamping’ in a pod but it still counts right?! Especially as it was literally just a room so we still had to take all our own things to put it in. The reason being that it was the first time we were heading out with both kids (2 under 3) and we wanted to use it as a trial run. The good news is that camping with them was a great success so I wanted to share my 5 top tips for surving a weekend away camping with kids!!
