Pirate Adventure Dinner Show – Magaluf – Majorca
On the first morning at the Fergus Style Pollensa Park we decided to track down the Thomas Cook rep, as I fancied booking a sightseeing / shopping trip to Palma and Alan wanted to book the Pirates Adventure dinner show. The Pirate show had come highly recommended by our neighbour Lizzy who’d been a holiday…

Fergus Style Pollensa Park & Spa – Mallorca
I feel it is my duty as a loyal Father and Son to do this blog post. It wouldn’t be fair to get Catherine to talk about the week we have just spent in Mallorca… with my Mum. Last September I lost my Father and one of the follow on topics was holidays. Both may…

Kendal Calling 2016 – Bands, Burgers and Bogs
As you may have picked out from the previous Kendal Calling post, I was going to a music festival without really knowing any of the music! A festival (and any event / restaurant / show) for me is mainly about atmosphere and experience. This is where this second update from the Kendal Calling weekend lies.…

George and the Dragon – Clifton
We’d packed up the car for Kendal Calling and decided to meet our friends in Clifton, just outside of the Kendal Calling site. There were two reasons for this. Firstly to get on the road and do something. Secondly, I had a Geocache I wanted to find. I’d done my research and worked out where…

Kendal Calling 2016
The last time we went to a music festival, The Stereophonics were big and JJ72 were still touring the country. As an birthday gift to Catherine I bought tickets to V2001 in Staffordshire. From my memory it lashed down with rain and if we’d driven there would have packed up early. We listened to the…

Finding Dory
Finding Nemo was a surprise hit for me, we went to the Odeon at the Gate to see it (Before Children aka B.C.). I had expect to enjoy the rich colours and animation, but ended up being sucked into the story and actually laughing out loud. The Scene where Dory talks whale was the scene…

Wallington – National Trust Norhumberland
It’s the second week of the school summer break and we have settled into the lazy morning routine well. The kids have already partied hard in Scarborough with my parents for a week and I was still recovering from the pink wine fest that was Kendal Calling so I was more then happy to have…

Willow Farm – Sunday Lunch
Alan: Good Morning Sunday, What a beautiful morning to get up and about… Oh look it’s 6:45am… The perfect time to capture the day! Catherine (post Ladies Day): Urghhh! Be quiet… I’m stopping in bed all day… will you top up my water! It was a sunny Sunday morning and as we were still child free,…

Newcastle Ladies Day Races & Gusto
The last time I went to Newcastle Ladies day was around 12 years ago. This was way before kids and in that strange forgotten time when our mortgage was small and we had (gasp) disposable income!! It was a fab day and the fact I won over £100 on a rank outsider put a smile on…

Windermere Waters at Beamish
When I was a Disney obsessive! One of the things we used to really look forward to was the food and drinks at the theme parks. Believe it or not they serve more than Coke, Burgers and Chips. Sometimes these hidden details with in the shops become legendary, but until they are tested you’ll never…
