Out Under the Stars: Our Sleepover Season
Out Under the Stars: Our Sleepover Season The Family Adventure Project is having a sleepover. In fact, we’re having loads of them. In different locations. With our kids. Because everyone knows that kids love sleepovers. But they also love their bedrooms. And we don’t want our kids to stay in their bedrooms. So, with the [...]
Why are you here? What is brilliant blogging?
Talking point: Why are you here? Do you ever wonder about what you’re doing and why you’re here? I’m not talking existentially, although a little of that is good for the soul. No, right now I’m actually wondering why you’re here on this page. It’s all about you When Stuart and I plan our blog [...]
Any Thrill-O-Matic Adventure Ideas Gromit?
Any Thrill-O-Matic Adventure Ideas Gromit? I’ve searched and searched and can’t find it. Maybe it’s just not there. And maybe it doesn’t matter.

Looking for life in the waxworks Our Big Ticket family pass for Blackpool offered entry into Madame Tussauds. I’d never been to a waxworks before so we popped in for the chance to get up close and personal with some old and new celebrities. But while the waxy celebrity exhibits were undeniably lifelike and entertaining, to [...]
Lake District Tobogganing in Bivvi Bag Style
Lake District Tobogganing in Bivvi Bag Style Unable to get away during Easter, and tired of the kids niggling each other at home, we take off into the hills around Haweswater in the Eastern Lake District. We plan nothing more than a short hike to a tarn. But then we stumble across some snow, build [...]
Talking Point: Death by social media
Death by social media A few days ago, I received a strange email from my Dad. It was from his personal email account. It was unexpected. It had no subject line. It wasn’t signed. It was only twelve words long, was very direct and it told me he was dead. Of course receiving it was a shock. [...]
Beyond the beaches: an Algarve Jeep Safari
Beyond the beaches: An Algarve Jeep Safari Portugal’s Algarve may be a seaside paradise but there’s more to it than sand and surf.
