Beach Days

I love the beach. It's literally my favourite place in the whole wide world. My most local beach is Weston Super Mare. Known endearingly as Weston Super Mud for it's lack of actual sea. It's lovely if you like amusement arcades, fun fair and donkey rides but I prefer my beaches more au natural. Think miles and miles of naked sand and sea. This year I intend to find such a beach, and spend more time Read More.

Review – All Stars Film

In a perfect act of fate I had already made plans to meet a friend in our local woodland. My friend is a child minder and she's passionate about getting her children outdoors as much as possible. She's found a wonderful play area in the woods built nearly entirely out Read More.

Kid’s Cinema

Recently we discovered that our local cinema offers showings of children's films on weekend mornings for only £1.50 per ticket. Since it would normally cost us over £40 to all go to the cinema this is an absolute bargain. The other (less obvious) advantage to the cheap kid's showings is that the cinema is full of the worlds worst cinema attendees. Yes I'm talking about children, not generally Read More.

SSE Community At Heart Project

A lot of people give money to charity. What's often harder to find and give is your time. Imagine if you could use a working day to give your local community project or favourite charity your time. Imagine if every working person in the UK could do the same. That would mean roughly 3.36 million people all giving one day a year. This would add up to an impressive 64615 weeks work for charity across Read More.
