A few weeks ago we were the guests of Jurys Inn Southampton as part of the Paulton’s Park [Peppa Pig World] Summer package. Since we live around 20 minutes from Southampton City centre, it was a perfect getaway from our day to day goings on and a fantastic treat for the boys. The first hotel…
This weekend we decided to take advantage of the National Trust’s free weekend promotion and we headed out into the sunshine and the beautiful, romantic surroundings of Mottisfont House. We met Nanny and Grandad down there as they’re National Trust members and like a wander around Mottisfont at the weekend. The first stop was the…
Throughout my careers I’ve been to some really amazing events. Huge events in ballrooms, boutique events in signature restaurants, cocktail parties and exhibitions. Yet nothing prepared me for how truly fabulous it was going to be this past weekend when I stepped off the airplane in Cologne, Germany thanks to CEWE. After hearing that I…
Whilst I was away in Scotland, there was one place I was desperate to visit – Loch Ness. It’s somewhere I’ve always wondered about but never actually imagined what it would be like if I did, in my head. I think I learned about Loch Ness from watching The Family-Ness as a child and secretly…
We’re back to reminiscing our holiday with Coastal Cottages in St. Florence again today! The closer we get to the Easter Holidays, the more I enjoy looking back through our photos. Family holidays are the best times – even if you feel as though you need to recover when you’re home from one. I never…
The weather here in Hampshire is just dismal – and after a fun case of pleurisy and chest infection I’ve been sorting through our photographs of last August’s break away in Welsh paradise with the very lovely people at Coastal Cottages. We headed to St. Florence, Pembrokeshire for the final week of the Summer holidays courtesy…
Love this post and some beautiful photos! There is something magical and magnificent about steam trains! x
I love old steam engines, I'd happily travel more by train if I could travel on one of them 🙂
Ah I love steam trains – I have such happy childhood memories of going on them as a child. Nice to do the things you did as a child with your own kids isn't it?
Love your pictures! There's something so special about a steam train isn't there? I commuted in London for years, I am sure this would have been a much more civilised way to travel! 🙂
I love locomotives. I love the way they look. I love the feeling they evoke. I love everything about them. I've been on several old school locomotive rides with the family, and they're always so much fun!
Oh how fun for your family! Your photo's are beautiful and your family lovely!
I love trains. Its just something about them. Steam trains are my favorite. I was able to take a steam train trip one summer, we stayed in the caboose. It was an amazing journey and so much fun. So many memories were made that summer!
Beautiful photos! I used to get the train to work and it was so much easier than driving as I do now!
Fab pictures. We have the N Yorkshire steam railway near us and we love going on it as a family,
We took my kids on a steam engine a couple of years ago or a polar express and they had a ton of fun. What a fun trip to take the kids on. I know that my son would love to explore this place.
Great pictures. I would love to take a train ride with my boys. I know my two year old would love it. I am sure my 10 year would too but he probably wouldn't admit it. LOL
Beautiful pictures.. Looks like a great location. My kids love trains. I think they're going to love this place. I'll show these pics to him tomorrow. He's going to freaked out. Beautiful family!
Can't beat a good steam train day out can you? We love going.
I have never seen a real steam train in my life and I'm so sure it will be so exciting to take a trip riding it. You guys looked like you had so much fun.
Oh this is wonderful, I love your write up and pictures, I was there in the magic with you. It reminds me of the Swanage to Corfe Castle journey that you can do by steam train. My Grandad worked on trains and they will always feel special to me.
I have to admit I haven't been on a steam train in years – there is something amazing about it though. x
lovely pictures! My son has a fascination with steam trains and would love it here
I think you only have to mention London Underground and my stress levels rise rapidly x
Ohh I have to check this out, we only live 20 mins from Bodium. Thanks, Mich x
I don't know how the Philippines' MRT3 compares with your train but I think ours are the worst train operations ever in the entire world. Can you imagine, the doors open while the trains are running? Droplets of water from the rain enter from the ceiling and people get wet inside. Lots of stops and train commuters are stuck for hours. That steam train looks very cool compared to the one we have here.
This train looks absolutely beautiful! I would love to go for a train ride, it has been many many years since I have been on a train. Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
This looks like a great family day out and very relaxing! I must say that your £5 a day train fare sounds like an absolute bargain to me – my husband takes the train to work and my daughter travels by train to school and the amount we have to spend on train fares is unbelievable!
Sebby would adore this as he is train mad!! Hopefully visiting my Aunt soon so bookmarked for an adventure
These photos are gorgeous! I love old trains. I would love to ride one of these steam engines like Polar Express. I think my son would love it too. Thanks for sharing!
Oh what lovely photos and a great family day out.
Oh wow! This is a child's dream!! I'd love it too.
Such lovely pictures! Sounds like a great experience x
