Disney Sequoia Lodge Golden Forest Club Review – Disneyland Paris
Just two months after Alan’s run at the Disneyland Paris Half Marathon, we were heading to the Disney’s Sequoia Lodge Golden Forest Club at, with the girls in tow for some Disney festive fun. The red-eye 6 am flight from Newcastle was still a bit of a killer when the alarm when off at 3…

Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Day 3
The build up to today had taken nearly 18 months. I’m not joking! From not being able to run for 3 minutes, all the way to running 16km in one go. The Disneyland Paris Half Marathon had been a focus on my training and a target to hit to keep me motivated. And here we…

Disneyland Paris Day 2
I’m usually a bit funny the first night in a hotel and struggle to sleep. The new layout, the noises, the different mattress and sheets all combine to create a sleepless night, but I had no problem last night. The fact I had been awake so early, trekked round the length of the Disney park…

Disneyland Paris Half Marathon 2016
As you read this (unless your reading this after September 25th), I’m in Disneyland Paris preparing for one of the longest runs I have ever done. If you knew me at school or after, exercise was really not my thing. I had a special knack with an excuse note to get out of P.E. When…

Palma de Mallorca
Pre-kids we loved nothing more than a European city break and enjoyed seeing the sights of Paris, Prague and Amsterdam to name a few. There’s nothing better than meandering along the cobbled streets, grabbing some local delicacies over a drink or 10 and just generally soaking up the atmosphere. On our recent summer holiday to…

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…
