We didn’t realise it at the time but visiting Phantasialand was THE highlight of our trip. We only planned to go there for one day but did take up the offer of the free return tickets. At least its location isn’t too far into Germany. The boys have always been into adrenaline activities with speed … Read more
During half term we visited four other countries and drove through a fifth and almost went to a sixth. This was part of our journey to Germany which had been promised to our teen ahead of his German GCSE. I felt it was a good way of helping him with the subject as well as … Read more

With my 40th Birthday coming up this week it really is a time for reflection and thinking about the things I would like. Obviously some are more obtainable than others and some nothing a lottery win from Lottoland couldn’t sort out! This got me to thinking about what I would do if I did win; … Read more
