What an incredible day at Lewis’ P5 Africa Showcase at school today! The kids did an amazing job showcasing everything they’ve learned about African cultures, traditions, and history. From vibrant presentations to fantastic artwork, it was an afternoon full of creativity and knowledge. So proud of you, Lewis!
Had a lovely visit back home to see Mum and catch up. We all went out for a delicious meal at The Old Colliery. Great food, even better company, and plenty of laughs to go around. So thankful for these moments together. #FamilyTime #GoodFood #Memories
Lots of memories made in 2023—big moments, little joys, and everything in between. Grateful for the laughs, the lessons, and the love that filled the year.
Here’s to 2024 and making lots more memories. Bring on the adventures, the surprises, and all the everyday magic.
We had an absolute blast at the Eastwood Theatre watching Beauty and the Beast—a panto full of laughs, magic, and plenty of “Oh yes it is!” moments. The costumes, the jokes, the singing… everything was just perfect for getting us into the festive spirit!
Can’t wait for next year’s show already. If you’re looking for a bit of fun, panto season is definitely the way to go! 🌟🎄 #PantoSeason #BeautyAndTheBeast #FestiveFun

It’s such a powerful and emotional story, and we love seeing how the school is encouraging the kids to engage with it creatively.
Oliver’s piece is thoughtful and expressive.
Well done, Oliver.
We celebrated Alexander’s birthday with a lovely dinner at La Vita Piccolino e Vino—one of our favourites! Gorgeous food as always, and such a nice evening spent with family. Laughed, chatted, ate way too much… and now we’re all absolutely stuffed!
Happy Birthday, Alexander! Here’s to another year of good times and great meals.
Another visit to Brymor Ice Cream—couldn’t resist! Went for a single scoop tub this time (showing a little self-control… maybe 😄). Still just as delicious as ever. A little treat on a lovely day out!
What an absolute gem! We spent a wonderful day exploring the Himalayan Gardens and Sculpture Park, and it did not disappoint. From the tranquil, scenic pathways to the stunning collection of sculptures scattered throughout the park, there was beauty at every turn.
The vibrant flowers, peaceful atmosphere, and unique artworks made it a perfect day out. It’s the ideal place to unwind and soak in nature’s beauty. Highly recommend a visit if you’re ever nearby! 🌿🌷 #HimalayanGardens #NatureLovers #SculpturePark

After exploring the caves, we headed out for a blustery walk at Ribblehead Viaduct. The wind was strong, but it added to the excitement as we took in the magnificent views of this iconic structure and the surrounding countryside. The viaduct, with its towering arches, was even more impressive in person.
Continue readingToday was nothing short of incredible! We kicked off the day with a tour of the White Scar Caves, and wow, what an experience. The underground world was absolutely stunning, with crystal formations, towering stalagmites, and the eerie stillness of the caverns. It was both thrilling and awe-inspiring to be in such a unique place!
Today’s adventure took us to the Forbidden Corner in Middleham, and wow, what a day! We’ve always talked about visiting but somehow never got around to it, so we’re really glad we finally made the trip. This place is unlike anything we’ve ever experienced – a truly unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, and unexpected surprises!
Every twist and turn had something new to discover – from hidden doors to quirky statues, secret pathways, and even some water features that caught us all by surprise (and yes, everyone got soaked at some point!).
It’s like stepping into a magical world where nothing is quite as it seems.

The Abbey itself is such a serene place, and the surrounding countryside just adds to the charm. There’s something magical about wandering through the remnants of such a historic building while soaking in the breath-taking views.
