Category: Days’ Out

As a family, days’ out are really important to us. We love to find new and exciting place to go to, we love taking photos (me in particular!), we love making memories and we adore having fun together. Our days’ out at the weekends are something I look forward to all week as it is the only time we get really.

I also love to be able to report back to my followers and reviewing a venue from an honest viewpoint is fun to be able to do. I hope you can all find something to do from reading one of my blogs and I hope you can have amazing days’ out too!

Posted on September 5, 2023October 11, 2024 by Emma Reed

It just has everything I love – beautiful beaches, stunning scenery, rolling countryside, wonderful wildlife and glorious gardens. Two of the most well-known gardens within Cornwall are of course The Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan but there are others here that are worth a visit too and on my latest trip to this area I spent a day at Trengwainton Garden in Penzance.

As a family with 2 very active boys, we are always on the lookout for new places to visit and things to do. They love being outside, exploring, climbing and running and we are fortunate enough to live in an area of Hampshire that is very close to the M3, which can lead us to many fantastic spots, including the latest addition to Windsor Great Park – Adventure Play. This handcrafted adventure playground has had a lot of hype around its opening so we just had to go along to see what it was all about. Here is our honest review…

Even though I have lived in Hampshire all of my life, I hadn’t ever previously visited Butser Ancient Farm so when the opportunity arose to volunteer with my son’s school trip I decided to put myself forward. It was such a fun-packed day and myself and the kids learnt so much that I wanted to share with you what your child can expect from a school visit to Butser Ancient Farm so you can prepare them and get an insight into what they will get up to.

With over 2,000 acres of open access woodland and downland to explore, Queen Elizabeth Country Park is a Hampshire place to visit that we have recently grown to love. Having often been here as a child, it was only last year that I decided to see how it had developed and what it could offer us now I have a family of my own. I am happy to report that it didn’t fail to make everybody smile and we just keep going back!
