Finding new things to do during the summer holidays is sometimes tricky. You can’t always do the same thing or visit the same places unless your child/children requests it with those big pleading eyes. This year we decided to go back to our exploring of places of interest such as Polesden Lacey. Polesden Lacey is located…
Royal Artillery Museum
The Royal Artillery Museum is now permanently closed which is unfortunate, we were told that it was because Greenwich Council sold the place for development. Which is very unfortunate as the collection was precious. Only 2 days before closing and they received confirmation that one of their “unknown” displays was the gun used to blast the…
GERMANY | Burg Hohenzollern
I just realised that I haven’t posted some of our trips to various parts of Germany from our holiday in 2012. Understandably, this is the year I got separated from my family for around 3 months. Hohenzollern Castle is the ancestral seat of the Prussian Royal House and of the Hohenzollern Princes. With two little children,…
Innorobo 2016
Earlier this week we went to Paris to see the robots. There are a lot of robots, some weird, some cute others a bit intimidating. We met and chatted with some of the engineers and designers too. It was very interesting. Then, we met up with my Papa’s friend Carl who was interviewed by the…
Caernarfon to Beddgelert steamtrain

Visiting Sygun Coppermine, Wales
We’ve been to see a lot of different things with the children but we haven’t been to a real mine. So during this holiday, we decided to check out Sygun Coppermine in Beddgelert. This was a self guided tour which took about 40 minutes, there are loads of steep steps to climb, it is wet,…
Montacute House
Here we visited Montacute House in Somerset. It is a magnificent example of Elizabethan Renaissance architecture and it is managed by National Trust, making is possible for everyone to enjoy. Unfortunately for us, the weather wasn’t ideal for more outdoor exploration. The children did find a lot of nook and crannies to hide. Inside the…
Visiting Leeds Castle
We love visiting places and one gorgeous place we wanted to check out is Leeds Castle. We didn’t know much about this place aside from the fact that the the road signs kept reminding us of it whenever we drive by. So we decided to finally get there. It’s a gorgeous castle with a beautiful…
