A couple of weekends back some girlfriends and I took our kids to Canfields, a Feather Down Farm in Horsham, West Sussex, for a weekend of ‘glamping’ (I dread this word, as I mentioned in my post 18 months or so ago about Mount Harry near Lewes, so as then I would rather here describe it as […]
Read MoreSo, my family and I have been back from our far-off adventures for two weeks, and with our arrival somehow the summer pretty much departed. Thanks awfully!
Read MoreOff we go tonight, into the wild blue yonder! My little family and I are off eastwards to stay with my dad, to an equatorial city-state island where we will spend our quality time wilting and rehydrating in the oppressive humidity – and also having a big, wonderful, colourful, tropical adventure. While we’re there we’ll be celebrating the island’s 50th […]
Read MoreSo the holidays are near enough now to think about things like insurance, currency, airport parking and…reading! This is the FIRST YEAR in SEVEN that there is a faint possibility my husband and I may be able to sit on a pair of sun loungers and ACTUALLY READ A WHOLE PAGE, nigh perhaps even a […]
Read MoreWelcome to my second massive summer school holiday activities post (it’s taken me two years to get over doing the last one!). I hope you’ll find it as useful as I know I will. There’s some cracking stuff for our kids to do this summer but I’m sure there is more out there. If you’re going to be running […]

Read MoreI’m so excited to start what’s going to be a new Little Lewes partnership with The Artworks, a playful, inspiring holiday and half term art activity club for kids run by Julie McLaren and Clare O’leary (see bottom of post for all the details of this half term’s planned fun!). My older son has done a couple […]

Read MoreI’m excited – but also gutted. Charleston contacted me earlier this week to tell me they’re doing special children’s tours of the house during half term week. I would love to do this with my son, but we are away or he’s in clubs while I work. Boo. If anyone goes, you must let me know what […]
