In early March, we traveled to Prague for a long weekend staying at the Four Seasons within a short walk of many of the city’s attractions. Prague is a stunning city to explore by foot and admire the architecture spanning over eight centuries of history. Since the city didn’t suffer large-scale destruction during World War II,…
A Day Out at Bocketts Farm Park
Earlier this month, we spent a lovely warm day visiting Bocketts Farm Park, a working free range farm in the beautiful countryside of Leatherhead, Surrey, only about a 45 minute drive for us from West London. Animal (and bird) feeding was apparently the theme of that week as just the day before we were in…

Once we arrived at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, we took a little snack break admiring the gorgeous view from one of the lookout points near…
A Morning at Windsor Castle
Windsor is an easy half an hour drive away from where I live in West London (Chiswick), so when the forecast promised a day in late March with slightly warmer weather and some sunshine, I planned a morning out to bring Little T to tour Windsor Castle. It was a breeze to plan, thanks to…
