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!

Visiting Bempton Cliffs – One of The Best Places to See Puffins In The UK

Posted on June 10, 2024October 8, 2024 by Emma Reed

As a wildlife enthusiast, I have many a creature on my “must-see in the wild” bucket list from turtles to jaguars, orcas and giraffes, rhinos, whales, lions, puffins… oh goodness this list could go on and on. When you live in England seeing a lot of these involves travelling abroad but we are lucky enough to have particular spots around the coast where some on my list do either pass through or choose as their breeding ground and after seeing Bempton Cliffs on a wildlife show last year, we immediately set our sights on this as a destination for 2024. Hailed as one of the best places to see puffins along with other fantastic sea birds such as gannets, kittiwakes and razorbills, Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire is a wildlife haven and this is our experience of visiting.

Visiting Trengwainton Garden in Penzance, Cornwall

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

We love visiting Cornwall, it has to be one of my favourite holiday destinations. 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.
