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.
Last weekend we decided to do something a little bit different and trekked down to the Clwyd Veteran & Vintage Machinery Society rally. Yes, I know that it’s a bit of a mouthful, but in short it was a fabulous show of all things mechanical and vintage. Cars, motorcycles, cycles, camper vans, tractors, LandRover’s, military vehicles…basically if it has an engine or is mechanical in nature, it was there. Needless to say, Henry and hubby had a great time.
Henry is older now – 2 next month – which means that summer adventures are a lot easier now. He can walk, talk, get involved and have as much fun as his big sister. So, this year we are getting festival ready! Our first one of the season was Geronimo Festival at Arley Hall. There was sun, sand and plenty of fun.
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.
