Terrific Tenerife#3 – Whales and Dolphins, Whales and Dolphins, yeah!
When I said I didn’t mean to write two posts, you’ll realise that I definitely definitely didn’t mean to write three posts. But here we are. So far, I’ve told you about lounging and water parking and now for the … Continue reading

Terrific Tenerife#2 – We’ll All Go to Raging Waters
Now, I didn’t mean to make this holiday into two posts as it was really quite a straightforward week of lounging about. But turns out I can write a lot of words about that BAU lounging without getting on to … Continue reading
Terrific Tenerife#1 – The Tide is High
So, I’ve been on a Jet2 holiday. My children inform me that this is some kind of meme nowadays and I’d like to be able to say that we went the full week without ever hearing that jingle…but that would … Continue reading
“Astonishing Things” at Royal Academy of Arts and “The Face Magazine” at National Portrait Gallery – 17/05/25
Phew, I know…exhausting blog title. Well, it’s been an exhausting day. Especially as I’m only blogging the middle of our day – I did maypole this morning before the double-exhibition extravaganza and Nathan and VK are still out now. So … Continue reading

The Easter holidays are very nearly over. We haven’t exactly made the most of the time off school, as both kids were poorly at different times but we’ve managed to squeeze some fun in along the way. Today, in the … Continue reading

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
