Somewhere I have wanted to go for the longest time is Quarry Walk Park. If you know me well, you will know I have screenshots of this place from ages ago. I am a screenshot girly: books, places, restaurants, random things I want to buy, screenshot that for later!
There is something about your last baby showing signs that they are growing up that really hits you in the throat. You know that feeling when you want to cry, but you are trying your hardest to hold it in, so you do that gulp, and it actually hurts your throat? That is basically how I have felt since Nila started middle school.
A UK staycation comes with its own packing list. We all know how unpredictable the British weather can be, and even though you might only be travelling a couple of hours from home, there is still plenty to think about if you want the trip to run smoothly.
If your evening routine currently involves a cosy blanket, a fresh cuppa, and losing three hours to the dark, twisty world of Netflix, you aren’t alone. True crime dramatisation has gripped us all once again with Ryan Murphy’s latest anthology instalment, Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story.
After our first ever trip to Butlin’s Minehead this summer, I can officially confirm one thing: you are not going to be bored. We booked five nights pretty last minute, and I honestly didn’t realise quite how much there would be to do once we got there. Between the shows, swimming, parks, arcades, rides and all the extra activities you can book, our days were absolutely packed.
Believe it or not, I had never been to Butlin’s before. I know, I know, have I even experienced a British childhood?!. So when I decided to book a very last minute summer holiday for me and Nila, Butlin’s Minehead was where we ended up.
It’s that time again already! Honestly, where did those six weeks go? One minute we are breaking up for summer and the next I’m checking uniform lists, buying new bags and wondering how the children have managed to grow out of absolutely everything they owned six weeks ago. Children are expensive, right?!
