As I unzipped my tent at silly o’clock in the morning I found myself nose-to-beak with a hen. Yes, I was at Red Bank Farm. Red Bank Farm is one of my favourite sites. A quiet site, right by the sea, Red Bank Farm is a site I always recommend to friends. It’s location is Bolton-Le-Sands, just a few miles …
My Super Skinny Chicken Curry Recipe
Are you faking it? You should be! Fakeaways are becoming ever more popular as food prices rise and people start to opt for a healthier lifestyle. Since I couldn’t get by in life without a decent chicken curry (okay, maybe I could if I really had to) I love this recipe for a Slimming World …
Serenata Flowers: Review & Giveaway

#WIN A family ticket to Headlander Festival
I’ve written briefly before about our plans to go to Headlander Festival this year, and about what a fantastic array of entertainment there is going to be. I included it in my North West Family Festivals round up and wrote a review of our visit there last year. Some quick fire points from the Headlander …

Rowan is one of the youngest children in his class, and when he started school aged just four years and three weeks I was worried. He’s a bright kid, but his brother was almost five when he started school so there was a big difference. Even now, six months in, Rowan is at an age …
