We’re All Going On A Summer Holiday…
| May 10, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Around England, Travel |
Actually, we’re not. That’s been the worst part of having children for me: the loss of holidays. I know you’re saying ‘say WHAT!’ or something like that, because we seem to have done nothing but travel over the last three years, but we haven’t had a holiday in over two years!
Land Of Kids Festival, Hackney, London
| May 6, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Around England, Travel |
My family and I attended the Land of Kids Festival in Hackney, London today. I was thrilled when we were invited because we pretty much end up doing nothing most Bank Holiday weekends, and this one we were sick for most of it to boot. While none of us are back to 100% health, we…
Day Trip To Thomas Land, Drayton Manor

There’s something in the water, these days, that’s making children grow super fast. I’m sure of it. The first time we took Ameli to an amusement park, she spent the whole time in a sling and slept through most of it – and she was only able to go on the train that goes around…

On Tuesday afternoon Aviya and I set off for London to be guests of British Airways at the London Olympics 2012 Women’s Hockey. We had an amazing time.

Last weekend we did something new and unusual, for us, anyway… We took the girls to Nozstock, a festival in Bromyard, Herefordshire. It’s taken me a few days to get these thoughts down on ‘paper’ because there was so much to see, and absorb and just be a part of that it’s taken me a…
Pic Of The Week 52-16

Just back from six months abroad, we felt it was time for a holiday – well, actually, we decided the inlaws really needed a visit, or they’d not recognise Ameli when they saw her again. So, off we went to Somerset for two weeks. Ameli and I did a lot of foraging, exploring and visiting…
The Magic of Legoland, Windsor
| May 21, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Around England, Travel |
I never thought I’d say it, but here it is: we had a great day out at Legoland Windsor. I was expecting a relentlessly garish onslaught of consumerism in the baking sun surrounded by mobs of tired parents worn out by sugar-possessed children. I was anticipating loud showground-style thumping, pumping music, and dreading the inevitable…
I never thought I’d say it, but here it is: we had a great day out at Legoland Windsor. I was expecting a relentlessly garish onslaught of consumerism in the baking sun surrounded by mobs of tired parents worn out by sugar-possessed children. I was anticipating loud showground-style thumping, pumping music, and dreading the inevitable money haemorrhaging that occurs on such occasions. In the end, I was shocked to find Legoland is not like that at all.
