When my daughter was little, Halloween was so easy. There were so many places to visit that offered pumpkin carving, spooky trails, Halloween crafts and ghost stories. We did it all and had great fun; Whitehouse Farm, Adventure Valley, Souter Lighthouse, Thornley Woods, Brockbushes, Down at the Farm, West Boldon Lodge, 3D Mummy ride at Centre for Life etc., etc., etc. But now that is she 12 […]
Wow!! What a great Saturday night out we had at Revolucion de Cuba. Located in the Cloth Market, a stone’s throw from High Bridge, we scuttled on down to check it out. After waiting for over 5 minutes for the ‘Express Lift’ (maybe of bit of irony there!!) we headed up the 3 flights of […]

We started our fun at Smugglers Cove Adventure Golf. Being a very competitive family, the game was on. Unfortunately […]
Paint a Giant Gnome!! Well who could resist that? So off we trooped down to the Kiln Pottery Studio, in Low Fell, Gateshead. Booking was recommended in advance with a £5 deposit, £15 left to pay on the night. We had to choose at time of deposit if we wanted to paint a girl or boy […]
Wow!! I could just leave this one word here and it would describe our experience at the Opening Ceremony at the Quayside on Friday evening for the Great Exhibition of the North. Having read some mixed reviews from others on this event I just wanted to put my thoughts forward. I can understand the comments […]
