Today I've been busy making plans for some adventu Today I've been busy making plans for some adventures later in the year. In the Easter holidays, me and Erin are going to London for a couple of nights while John has to work.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It always takes me a while to figure out exactly what we're going to do but once I have one thing planned, it's much easier.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This time, we'll be heading to the theatre to see Matilda the Musical! Erin loved seeing the film at the cinema a few weeks ago and has been listening to the soundtrack ever since. Matilda starts slightly earlier than other shows at 7pm, so it's not too late of a night for Erin. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Now, just the rest of the trip to plan!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What's your favourite musical in London?​​​​​​​​

Everyone was feeling a bit better this morning and Everyone was feeling a bit better this morning and we headed out to Felbrigg for a walk and some fresh air.

The last time we went it was freezing cold, everything was frosty and frozen but today it felt like there were finally signs of spring. 

We're lucky to have such wonderful National Trust places so close to us. 

Have you been out and about this weekend?

Anyone feel like their kids are just constantly il Anyone feel like their kids are just constantly ill at the minute? Erin seems to have just got over something and a week or two later, she's poorly again!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It doesn't help that the weather is awful, it's freezing and the electric bill keeps going up. I'm pretty much over winter and ready for some sun and warmer days.​​​​​​​​

When we go away we like to do a bit of a mix when When we go away we like to do a bit of a mix when it comes to eating out. While I try to find some cheap places for most meals, we also like to splash out now and again. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
During our week in Brussels, we visited Hard Rock Cafe, somewhere I knew we would all be happy. I could book a table easily online, not too far ahead of when I wanted it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
With classics such as salmon, burgers and chicken dishes, this is a great option for families who might have people who like to stick to what they know. ​​​​​​​​

One of our favourite days out while we were in Bel One of our favourite days out while we were in Belgium was at Antwerp Zoo!

We'd only planned on spending a couple of hours there but really we needed the whole day. Not only does the zoo have so many great animals but there are some fab outdoor play areas too. These alone will make your kids want to stay longer.

Do you have a favourite zoo?

We've been going on holiday to Center Parcs since We've been going on holiday to Center Parcs since Erin was tiny... I think our first time was when she was 1.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Since then we've been most years with the most recent visit being in summer 2022. This year though, we've made the decision not to return.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As much as we love Center Parcs, and Erin does, for the price we can do so much more. It's such a shame that a midweek break in a school holiday is around Β£1400, without even thinking about food or activities. That's more than what we paid for a 6 nights in Belgium last year with a night in London either side. ​​​​​​​​

(I searched during 3 school holidays this year and the minimum was Β£1399)
​​​​​​​​
We might get back to Center Parcs one day, but for now, we'll be out having adventures elsewhere.​​​​​​​​

It seems like it's the week for bad news. ​​​​​​​​

Last year, Erin and I had a fantastic time in Nottingham, and one of our favourite things was visiting the castle. Unfortunately, it closed for good it seems in November of last year. 

It's so sad to see so many places closing.

Want to see a different view of York? Be sure to h Want to see a different view of York? Be sure to have a stroll around the city's walls.

There is about 2 miles of walls that have survived and they're absolutely free to wall around. If you do the whole thing, it will take you about 2 hours.

However, there are different sections of walls and steps to come down in various places so you can really do as much or as little as you want to. 

Be warned though, some areas don't have fencing and there are some steep drops so be careful when passing others!

Unless you've heard me speak, you might not know I Unless you've heard me speak, you might not know I'm not from Norfolk. I'm actually from Grimsby but it's not very often I go back home. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Erin's been asking for a while to go and see where I'm from so this is the year! Well, we're not staying in Grimsby but Cleethorpes, which is close enough.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The Jungle Zoo was somewhere I remember going as a child and I recently found it it finally closed for good last October. I had planned on taking Erin, and going back for the nostalgia and it's such a shame we can't do that now.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do you live where you grew up or have you moved away?​​​​​​​​

I might be a bit late, because we're well into Jan I might be a bit late, because we're well into January now but it is a new year and that means new travel plans.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you've been a follower for a while you'll know I like to be organised, to book things well in advance. This year is now different and here is what we have planned so far for the year:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
February half term - Norwich for a night just me and Erin​​​​​​​​
April - London for 2 nights just me and Erin​​​​​​​​
Late April/ Early May - Haven for a weekend​​​​​​​​
May/ June - Cleethorpes for 4 nights​​​​​​​​
August - Orlando for 15 nights​​​​​​​​
October - Paris for 3 nights​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I still have weekends and a couple of other dates in April and a May bank holiday free if we fancy doing anything else. It's a pretty packed year already though and, now that we have a car, we want to explore more of our local area as well.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I'd love to know what travel plans you're looking forward to this year!​​​​​​​​

It's not very often John features on the grid. He It's not very often John features on the grid. He jokes that it often looks like he's never away or on holiday with us but of course, he is!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Usually, I throw my camera at him when I want photos taken of me and he's so good, taking about 100 of the same thing even when they all look so similar. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do you get someone else to take photos for you?​​​​​​​​

One of the highlights of our trip to Brussels was One of the highlights of our trip to Brussels was somewhere we hadn't expected to go... Mini Europe.​​​​​​​​​

We only really visited because we had a bit of extra time after going to Atomium and this was across the road. We spent HOURS here, looking around.

At Mini Europe you'll find miniature models of great places in Europe. Think, Tallinn, Antwerp, London and Paris... just to name a few. The models are really detailed too, some having little people outside or passengers on boats. 

It was so nice to talk to Erin about some places I'd already been, some we'd been to together and some we'd like to visit in the future. 

It's the first miniature world we've visited but it definitely won't be the last. Have you been to one before?
