My 7 year old daughter and I went to see this brilliant show in London’s West End over the summer, during a rather wonderful thing which you might not have heard of (as I certainly hadn’t, until I came across it quite randomly on a mumsnet forum), known as “Kidsweek” (link below). Basically from what…
Bocketts Farm in Leatherhead, Surrey – great family day out, all year round! This incredibly child-friendly farm located in the Surrey countryside near Leatherhead (off junction 9 M25) is a very popular day out with our kids. We have now been several times and can highly recommend it for families with young children! Along with…
I’ve recently had my eyes opened to a whole new craze in organising, known to those in the know as the “bullet journal”. What is this thing you speak of, I hear you say! Well, I’m just on a journey of discovery myself so I’ll keep you posted, but for now I have gathered the…

I had to do a quick post on this place. A hidden gem in Petersham, it’s probably the most magical place to have a gourmet 3-course lunch. Not the most obvious place to take the kids but possibly something for a special occasion. We ate in the cafe (which is rather a misnomer as it…
