AD | Last night, I went to see my first ever Shake AD | Last night, I went to see my first ever Shakespeare play, Julius Caesar, and what a play it was!

I'll admit, I was a little confused for the first few minutes, but that quickly changed once things got going. Not understanding is always a worry with Shakespeare, but this version is a nice mix of modern and traditional.

I loved the drama, the plotting, and literal backstabbing! There's such much drama in this play. Something I did feel that was missing, though, was why everyone wanted Caesar killed. Without knowing beforehand, there isn't much given about why he's so hated by some. 

Director Atri Banerjee offers a new take on this play, making it appeal to a younger audience. Roles have gender swaps, costumes are modern and somehow, the language is easier to understand in this setting. 

Would I go and see another Shakespeare play? Absolutely!

To break up a long journey back from Lincolnshire To break up a long journey back from Lincolnshire to Norfolk, we stopped off at Wolds Wildlife Park in Horncastle.

Lions and tigers and bears... oh my! This is a lovely, little zoo with some fantastic animals. The big cats are a big feature here and feeding time is not to be missed.

It's not just big animals though, as you can also see others such as guinea pigs, goats and llamas. 

For a family of 3 adults and 1 child, entry cost around £40, which is really reasonable for somewhere like this. We stayed for about 4.5 hours, which was plenty of time to see everything and have lunch. 

What's your favourite animal at a zoo?

One of the things I really miss about home is the One of the things I really miss about home is the fish. Grimsby and Cleethorpes are famous for their fish, or haddock to be more precise, so it's the first thing I do when I go back.​​​​​​​​​

This week, we headed back to my favourite place in Cleethorpes... Steels. If you're not a local, you might be surprised to find out that a lot of places don't even serve cod, only haddock.

Prices are so cheap compared to down here in Norfolk, with a jumbo haddock and chips, with bread and butter AND a pot of tea or coffee for only £15.45.

Erin finally got to try some for herself and absolutely loved it. Not happy enough with her own, she managed to steal some of my fish too. I wouldn't share with just anyone. 

What would your choice of fish be... haddock or cod?

We stayed in a bronze grade caravan recently, and was so happy with our choice. It's a bit nicer than the saver grade, with plenty of storage and space to spread out.

Before I moved to Norfolk, I was very much a big t Before I moved to Norfolk, I was very much a big town/ city kind of girl. The outdoors was definitely not my thing, especially if there would be bugs involved.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, having lived here for 10 years, I'm the complete opposite. I get itchy feet, a bit stir crazy if we go too long before having a day out somewhere outdoors. It could be a simple walk in the woods, a National Trust property or in a field of beautiful tulips. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Where's your favourite place when you need to get outdoors?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you're looking for a beautiful summer day out i If you're looking for a beautiful summer day out in Norfolk, then look no further than Felbrigg Hall.

Whether you go on a walk around the acres of parkland, take a stroll around the house, or discover the walled garden, there's something for everyone 

If you're visiting with kids, you can pick up a sensory or tracker pack near the entrance to the house (while available) to help them explore more of Felbrigg.

I'm actually from just down the road in Grimsby, so it's somewhere I used to know quite well. It's been a while since I've been back properly though and Erin's really looking forward to discovering where I'm from.

Be sure to follow our stories from Monday, and see where we're staying and what we get up to.

What are your plans for half term?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

AD | Stratford-upon-Avon can be a bit Shakespeare AD | Stratford-upon-Avon can be a bit Shakespeare heavy, and it's important to find something fun for Erin to do as well. 

The Stratford Butterfly Farm is an ideal attraction for families. Visits average around 90 minutes, and entry prices are under £10 per person. 

Thousands of butterflies fly around the flight area, where you'll also see them feeding. If you're lucky, you might even get one or two to land on you.

Its not just butterflies though, as you can also visit the Minibeast Metropolis and brand new Rainforest Realm. Here you'll find creatures such as snakes, leafcutter ants, and an amazing caiman! 

We had such a good time and it was somewhere for the whole family to enjoy. Read more on travelwiththeohallorans.com today!

This year Erin has really shown an interest in hor This year Erin has really shown an interest in horseriding, after her Auntie and Uncle got her a voucher for Christmas.

Now, she's going on hacks once every 4 weeks and looks forward to it so much. It costs about £24 for half an hour, which isn't horrific. 

Even though she only went yesterday, I know Erin will already be counting down to the next one.

Do your children have a hobby?

After MONTHS of waiting, this afternoon we finally After MONTHS of waiting, this afternoon we finally got to see @sixthemusical at @norwichtheatre.

We were all absolutely blown away from that very first song right up to the very end. Think pop concert and a history lesson all rolled into one. 

The recommended age is 10+ but Erin, age 7, was absolutely fine. Some of the lyrics are suggestive but tame enough that they went over Erin's head most of the time. 

If there's one show to book tickets for, it's this one!
