One of my favourite things to do in the Lakes is to hire a boat on Windermere. We haven’t been for around five years so when we visited as part of our camping holiday in the Lakes this year it was a definite on the activities list. There are two main tourist points around Windermere. …
One of our favourite summer events over the last few years has been the Just So festival. Last year my sister and I took the children and we had a ball. We dressed up as bees, danced our socks off and sang our little hearts out – and that was just the adults. The children …

During our latest trip to Spain, w drove an hour or so from where we were staying in Pamplona to spend some time in San Sebastián. We’d really only gone there because it came up on Google as the nearest beach, so we had no real expectations. The weather forecast was a bit disappointing so …
We’ve been really, really fortunate to receive a Tentsile Stingray tree tent to review. It looks amazing – everyone we meet asks about it when we’re using it – and it’s great fun, comfortable and versatile too. Who are Tentsile? Tentsile are a company formed in 2012, so not really all that old. They make …
