UK Family Travel Bucket List 2017

I always write a list of places we want to visit at the beginning of the year – mainly places I would love to take photos of the kids. I thought this year I would share it so that at the end of the year we can look back and see what we managed to tick off. Ours are all UK based as I like to be able to pack up the car with all the junk we take with us! So here is my travel bucket list for 2017, some are new places, and some are places we have…

What we did Summer 2016 – Week 4 & going to London to see the Queen (or not!)

Week 4 – 14th – 21st August 2016 We started off our first day back from holiday, and our first day reunited with Harley with a lovely river walk. Harley had a whale of a time swimming in the river and Daddy and the kids had fun hunting for Pokemon! Little did Harley, or we know, this would be his last walk for a while. Poor Harley managed to catch Kennel Cough whilst he was boarding, and the symptoms started to show on Monday. He had the most awful cough and would gag every time. He also started sneezing out…

What we did Summer 2016 – Week 3 aka The Brushneens go to Cornwall

I’m so totally behind with all my summer posts at the moment, but it is lovely as I’m having fun going back through the photos more than a month on. All of my ‘big camera’ photos are in a separate photo heavy posts which you can find here, but these are my iPhone memories, with a few big camera photos thrown in for good measure. Every year we try and get in a family holiday to Cornwall. We have been going nearly every year since Izzie was a tiny baby, and sometimes we go with my parents and have stayed…

Disneyland Paris March 2016 Days 4 & 5

The last couple of days were more about fitting in what we hadn’t already done, who we hadn’t met and rides we wanted to do again! Another super early start on day 4, and the queues to meet the characters we already really long. We had not yet met Donald in our three trips, so we waited 45 minutes to meet him. We love Donald!! Mason was still loving the Tula ❤️                                                 I love this photo!…

Disneyland Paris March 2016 Day 3

We got up early again for extra magic hours and jumped in the characters queues straight away – it was amazing how busy it was already. I loved the Disney Easter Eggs that were dotted around the park.          First we met Chip & Dale. They were so fun – and the wanted to take Ollie home with them haha – as Ollie kept telling us layer ‘mummy chip and dale wanted to keep me’. Bless him! The sun was at the wrong angle so Izzie had a case of watery eyes – she cannot take photos…

Disneyland Paris March 2016 Day 2

We woke up early every morning of our Disneyland Holiday (6.30am) – we had two reasons for this – 1. If you get to breakfast any later than 7.15am the queues are stupidly long, and it turns into a bunfight, and 2. EXTRA MAGIC HOURS. If you are after a relaxing holiday, Disneyland is not the place for you. For anyone who hasn’t been to Disneyland Paris before, EMH is a huge perk of staying in a Disneyland hotel – you are allowed into the Disneyland park from 8am-10am before guests that aren’t staying in a Disney hotel. However ,…
