Sutton House’s Surreal Santa’s Grotto – 05/12/15
I like to think my kids have a certain amount of balance in their lives. I’ll give you an example – here’s the lunch Eva and I had yesterday: Vegan vegetable soup, hand-prepared by small children and cooked over a … Continue reading
Christmas Family Theatre Preview
I went to Costa today and I swear to you, it was Christmas in there. They had a Christmas tree, Eva was eating gingerbread Santas and I sang along to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”. So don’t tell me … Continue reading
Family Travel Show – 31/10/15
This afternoon I experienced a little bit of deja-vu. Sitting on a bus on Kensington High Street, wrangling some giant balloon creations….weren’t we doing this last week? Why, yes we were but the run up was very different. Last … Continue reading

Feltham – 06/08/15
It’s been an intense couple of trips of out-and-aboutness, so forgive me if this post is mainly made up of random letters, as my head hits the keyboard, in a kind of isndf\NRHB\FHBR\HZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ way. Yesterday was a particularly epic effort. … Continue reading
Kidzania – 25/07/15
Well, where to start with Kidzania? Let’s start in West London, a place much maligned and neglected by LWAT but the focus of a “Getting to know you” campaign this summer. The particular bit of West London we visited today … Continue reading
Beach East – 17/07/15
Do you ever worry that LWAT is losing its edge? That we have complex days out that seem to go well, with barely a hint of preschooler meltdown? Well, fear no more. Here’s a tale of a day that … Continue reading
High Times and Highams Park Days – 11/07/15
Yesterday could have gone one of several ways. It could have been a day when I looked at the four things I wanted to do and sensibly decided on just one or two of them. It could have been … Continue reading
