We love a good hike. You can’t beat getting everyone out and walking and we are fortunate to have plenty of places to do that very close by. Hiking is great, but it can also be tricky if you don’t follow some safety rules. So if you’re new to this, it’s good to be prepared […]
Have you got a travel bucket list? Most of us have them right? To be honest I find it hard to narrow down all the places I’d like to go to. I always think my bucket list should be places I’ve not visited before, but then there are plenty of places I’ve already been that […]

Tis the season to be jolly at Albert Dock attraction Mattel Play!

The UK’s largest indoor Christmas theme park has returned for a fifth magical year and opened to the public on Sat 9 December. […]
Norfolk and the Norfolk Broads remind me of geography lessons at school. We studied The Broads as a topic for GCSE geography and I loved it.
