My travels have been limited since the pandemic and I’m determined to be a lot more active during 2023. Decided to dip my toe into the tourist waters by taking a day trip to the Black Country Living Museum, which is less than an hour away. It’s the British equivalent of those Frontier Village parks that are dotted across the…
Leave a CommentDid you ever watch the Wizarding World films and wanted to visit London to see the locations for yourself? We organised a daytrip to the capital and took a Harry Potter walking tour to explore the various places featured in the movies. The locations we visited have featured in the following films: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone(aka Harry Potter…
Leave a CommentI took a day trip to Warwick Castle – probably the best British castle for families and other tourists. There are more than 2000 castles in the country, but Warwick Castle is almost certainly the most fun, especially for children. This time around we visited in Winter, which has a slightly different vibe and activities compared to summertime. Of course,…
Leave a CommentIt’s the Platinum Jubilee long weekend so I went for a photo walk in “The Royal Town” of Sutton Coldfield. Specifically to the biggest park in Sutton Coldfield, a mere 30 minutes from Birmingham city centre.
Leave a CommentThis is part 1 of my Butlin’s Skegness Experience. I’m too poor to take the kids on foreign holidays. So, instead, we decided to vacation in England. Our nearest holiday resort is Butlin’s in Skegness so we booked five days in some of their cheapest accommodation – Silver rather than Gold – and set off on a seaside adventure.

In this episode we’re talking about Accessibility for disabled visitors, whether Butlin’s is good for vegetarians and vegans, and what are the Halal options? I also explain the different dining options – self-catering, Food Court, Premium Dining and the Dinearound plans.
Leave a CommentThis is part 3 of my Butlin’s Skegness Experience. Skegness has many amazing beaches and the one next to Butlin’s is really nice. Ingoldmells beach is also beautiful and you can walk there in about 20 minutes. If you like thrill rides, rollercoasters, arcades and shopping then take a stroll to Fantasy Island, which is less than 25 minutes walk…

Leave a CommentThis is part 5 of my Butlin’s Skegness Experience. On our last day in Skegness we took a day trip to the famous Pleasure Beach. It was a 20 minute drive from the Butlin’s resort to the centre of Skegness. We managed to find parking very close to the Clock Tower and headed down the pedestrianised boulevard to the main…
Leave a CommentTaking two kids obsessed with Harry Potter to the one place they’ve been begging to see since they were 6 years old… Harry Potter Studio Tour (“The Making of Harry Potter”) in “London” (it’s actually Watford, but close enough, I guess!). I honestly had no idea just how much Romana and Amelia love the entire universe that JK Rowling has…
