How to do Disneyland Paris on a Small Budget

Disneyland Paris – The Magic is Much Cheaper than you Think I have just visited Disneyland Paris again during our visit to France. It was a full day in the park. We arrived there a little bit later than I would have liked (ie not as soon as the park opened) but left at midnight. … Read more

Driving in France

Driving in France

Driving to France from the UK is the cheapest, and I think easiest, way for a family to travel. It means that we do not have to worry about luggage restrictions, delayed flights, carrying things in the airport and so on. You can have the choice of travelling by Ferry from a number of ports … Read more

The true beauty of Coombe Mill really cannot be encapsulated online. No matter how many talented photographers share their snaps there is nothing that can prepare you for the magic.

Whitecliff Bay Review: Area 19 Park 146

whitecliff bay review

Whitecliff Bay has had some bad reviews online. In fact, whilst I was there I heard people moaning about how cold their apartments were and how if they wanted things done they would have to pay £70/£80 to upgrade.

Family skiing Spogo snozone

There are lots of reasons people are put off getting fit, and just lack the motivation to try. I think this is especially true in these cold months.
