With a plot full of twists and turns, visitors can expect to be kept on tenterhooks…
If you know me well, you will be able to imagine my big smile why I type this listing about the new Muppets musical live in London this Summer. If you have followed me over the years you will know that I am a huge fan of the Muppet show since the late Seventies. Even more so after meeting Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in person twice already in London. I truly cannot wait to see them again and…
To celebrate the DVD release of Ferdinand, a group of London Mums and children from the Kids’ Club attended an exclusive event at The View from The Shard during the Easter holidays. No need to say that that the views were un-bull-ievable. Ah Ah!

This shows that it is entirely possible to have a family home with a garden in the city – although admittedly your garden may be a little smaller than gardens outside of the city!
If you want to transform your outside space into a family…

This Winter has been too long and cold and I really look forward to this Spring – Easter break. It will be good for children too to be off school and get the much-needed mental energy to face the final rush before the Summer.
I also know that for mums it will be a challenging time trying to entertain the little (and less little) ones for almost three weeks. London is not a bad place at…
During May & June 2018 eruptions of pom-pom headed alliums will burst into bloom at Arundel Castle.

The allium display can be seen throughout the Walled Gardens at Arundel Castle with over…

Recently I boarded the time travel machine to meet the greatest playwright of all time, William Shakespeare, in Stratford Upon Avon where he was born in 1564 and where he now (in 1599) lives in his New House residence.
Mr Shakespeare gave me a tour of his father’s house to give me an idea of how it was like living in Elizabethan England.
He was one of eight children but only four survived the…
To celebrate Shakespeare Week as part of my Shakespeare Research Project for English in year 7 in secondary school I was recently asked to do an interview with William Shakespeare so I had to go back in time to do it. I headed to Stratford Upon Avon during half term and did just that. This is the result of my chat with one of the world’s best talents.
The time travel machine has brought me…
