Center Parcs 2022 – Day One – Back on the Bikes

For the second year running we are back at Center Parcs Longleat for a family holiday. This year there are two more of us than there were last year as we now have a second granddaughter and our younger son is here too. It’s really nice to get the whole family together like this and …

Portsmouth Historic Dockyard (pt 1)

Mary Rose, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

It has been quite a while since I have been down to the Historic Dockyards at Portsmouth but there is so much there that it is always worth a visit. Going there on what was predicted to be the hottest day of the year probably wasn’t the smartest move but we’d planned it for a …
