3 days in Paris
Visiting Paris with my husband and 2 children. As a travelling mum, you want happy children, because happy children mean happy parents. City breaks are tiring for grown ups let alone children, but the end result no matter what, was that we made lots of happy memories. It was very tiring, but all worth it. Also big mistake, I should have listened to the Hubby and booked only 2 days. I thought I was being clever and booked 3 days to make the most of the 3rd day as I had the great idea of booking the train back to london for 9pm. Paris, after living in England for 18…

Shoeburyness, Essex – A Sand & Shingle Beach
I love the sea. I love the blue water, the splashing waves that come crashing against my toes, the sea breeze, and most of all, I love sea shells. During a sunny weekend, I decided to go check out this beach, as it is about 1 hour away from my house. Now to go to a beach which is only 1 hour away is a good thing. I am always on the quest to find a nice sandy beach near me. So far the best one I have found is over 3 hours away, in the South of England. Shoeburyness Beach, also known as Shoebury Common is a sand and…

Stonehenge, World Heritage Site
There is far more to Stonehenge than meets the eye. It seems to be a mere ring of stones, however, it is more or less a ring of mysteries. Thousand of years ago, an ancient civilisation, or was it aliens, raised a circle of huge rectangular stones in a field, which we now call, Stonehenge. It is one of the best known prehistoric monument in Europe and there are lots of theories surrounding its existence. I visited the place without any research into it and once there, I was curious and fascinated as to their origin and wanted answers. Lots of questions but no answers. Now I tremble slightly having…

Roaming in South Kensington
While at the Science Museum last week, the children and I got to see a Bubbles Show. It was a sunny day and the bubbles were so shiny and full of the rainbow colours, so we stopped to watch. A bucket of soap and water had attracted quite an audience.

Disneyland Paris – France
I did it. I went to France. I have lived in England for over 18 years and yet this was the first time I was going to France. I have visited other countries but somehow, I kept flying over France and kept postponing my trip there. Cote D’Azure, Nice, Paris and other pretty places are on my wish list, but this time, it was off to Disneyland first. The children were old enough to remember this trip and young enough to still like Disney stuff. Well, we are never too old to go to Disneyland. I get it now, why they all say that you become a child again at…

Science Museum London, with the children
Science Museum, Kensington London It’s the Easter Holidays. And my first time travelling on my own with the children on the trains and the London underground. The London Underground, also known as the tubes, is always so packed that I have never felt confident to travel with the children on my own. Now that they are older, it was much easier and also fun as they helped me navigate the London underground tube map. We had to change trains/tubes a few times to get to our destination, South Kensington, where the Science Museum is located. We were all so very excited about the whole trip. The tubes were packed as expected,…
