Paradox Museum – 30/10/24
Welcome to Day #10 of the ever-lasting half term. Eva’s out there in the dark streets, covered in watermelon juice and begging for sweets from strangers. Standard stuff. But while it seems that we’ve given up on parenting today, I … Continue reading
“Festival of the Girl” – 05/10/24
This is our third year at the Festival and Eva’s at the top end of the age range – something I didn’t think about until I realised that one of her classmates from primary school had been promoted to helper … Continue reading
“Holst – The Planets” at the Royal Albert Hall – 21/09/24
It was Nathan’s birthday recently. I won’t say which number it was but it wasn’t a very major one…..more like a stopping point between major ones. Nevertheless, we’ve made the most of the celebrations, starting with an outdoor cinema trip … Continue reading
Zürich with a Teenager
So, we’ve reached the last of the holiday posts just in time for school to start. We finished the last post in Friedrichshafen and that’s where we’ll pick back up, aboard the boat to Romanshorn. This was a bit of … Continue reading

Dopamine Land – 03/08/24
I seem to have a bit of a curse at the moment where I’m writing about things no one will soon be able to go to. As soon as I reviewed Fox in a Box, they announced they were closing. … Continue reading
Fox in a Box Escape Rooms – 16/06/24
It’s taken me a little while to write this one up because, really, what can you say about escape rooms? You can’t give away too much otherwise they’ll find you and lock you up for real. But I’ll try to … Continue reading
Legoland – 04/05/24
It’s been a couple of years since our last trip to Legoland but as soon as I started planning, I remembered the drill. Harvester breakfast, check: We still miss the pre-Covid buffet but you can’t dwell on the past indefinitely. … Continue reading
Accidentally Wes Anderson – 24/02/24
It was my birthday this week and, as a serial complainer about birthdays, I decided to organise a few things to try and make this one go well. But seeing as my birthdays have been serially bad, I didn’t want … Continue reading
