family life & travels
If you find yourself at a loose end and you’re in Surrey or South London, then heading over to Sutton can be a good idea. Not only is is somewhere that I live fairly close by to, but there is plenty to do in the area. One of the best parts about the town centre
When I think of Dover, I think it is pretty natural to think of those iconic white cliffs. I remember driving down from the north and getting the ferry from there many times as a family when I was younger. But since then, I have not been back since. This past weekend though we were
When you think of a day out in London, or at least when I do, I think of tube rides, a few of your typical tourist sites like Buckingham Palace or having a mooch in Harrods. Topped off with eating out and some tired feet. You seem to always get your step count up living

When I first had a baby, trips out, although it could take a while to leave, were relatively straight forward. Baby would sleep for the majority of it, and would be fed like clockwork every three hours. Then it comes to weaning and then onto a toddler, and things can need to be planned out
I don’t think it is much of a secret that I am a northerner in the south, having been born and raised in North Yorkshire. I moved down to the south (Surrey to be precise) in 2008 after I graduated University. With some family still in North Yorkshire, we do go back up to visit
