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 [...]

I went to Gatorland Orlando – so bite me
Orlando’s Gatorland doesn’t have cute furry animals or spectacular rides. It doesn’t have ‘cast members’ or ‘model citizens’ to wish you a good day. Its signs look homemade and frankly, they’re a bit un-P.C. It brings you up close to some of the kings of the wild, and then serves you deep friend chunks of [...]

Talking Point 19: Fishing for experiences
Talking Point 19: Fishing for experiences I’m fortunate (or is it unfortunate) enough to have never had to fish for my supper. I’ve never had to bait up a line, cast off, reel in or gut a fish. I’ve never really driven a motor boat either. So perhaps it was a little foolish of us [...]
I really can fly.. iFly Orlando Indoor Skydiving
I spent most of my visit to Orlando either upside down or flying backwards. I might not have been able to get to the Kennedy Space Centre but I did fly around Hogwarts, above a Miniature USA, over an alligator swamp and had slime flying at me. However, no ride, zip wire or even broomstick [...]

An afternoon tea is great British tradition and there are dozens of fine hotels in London that serve this uniquely British meal, complete with polished silver teapots, cucumber sandwiches, scones, cream and tiers of handmade pastries and cakes. On our post Jubilympics tour of London we experienced this ritual in the kitchen [...]
Climbing Up over London: Up at The 02 Arena
Climbing Up over London One of our missions during our week in London was to view the city from the air as many different ways as possible. London is good for this; novel opportunities range from flying across The Thames in a cable car to circling above it in a giant Ferris Wheel. And coming soon, [...]

Does my bum look big… in this tube?
Does my bum look big in this tube? With Cornwall kyboshed, and twelve year olds looking for birthday treats we thought Manchester’s Chill Factore might fit the bill. But why should kids have all the fun? I wanted to play in the snow too. So I booked us a tubing session. But what is tubing?? [...]
