Kitchener Park – 05/08/20

Epping Forest – 19/07/20
It’s finally happened – we’ve left Highams Park. After four solid months of only travelling by foot (or bike in Roo’s case), the four of us got into the car together and went all the way to North Chingford. I … Continue reading
The Wonder Factory – 03/01/20

Better Extreme Clip N Climb – 02/03/19
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ll have the impression that Eva is not the bravest child in the world. Last time I’d taken her to a Better Extreme park she’d sat on the side for 45 … Continue reading
