Bute Park is one of my favourite outdoor spaces in Cardiff – a 130 acre beauty spot right in the centre of our city. It’s perfect if you want a break from the hustle and bustle of a shopping trip to the city centre, or is more than worth visiting...
We love Roald Dahl in our house and we also love Lego so you can imagine how excited we were to see the fantastic Lego sculptures of some of the author’s most famous child heroes, currently on display at Wales Millennium Centre. The characters actually arrived at the Cardiff Bay...
With the heatwave continuing, I took my youngest child to Victoria Park splashpad in Cardiff to cool off. We’d arranged to meet a few friends – three other mums of three with just our youngests not at school and all determined to make the most of these last few weeks...
I love bluebell season. The distinctive flowers are only in bloom for a month or so a year during late April and May, with the bluey-purple carpets such a breathtaking sight. Every year we take a trip to Coed y Wenallt – or the Wenallt as it’s generally called locally...

However, our visit today focused on the art galleries. The museum has one of Europe’s finest...
In association with St Fagans National Museum of History We made the most of the autumn sunshine yesterday with a trip to St Fagans National Museum of History. The open-air museum has plenty going on for Halloween and half term – not to mention more than 50 beautifully-preserved buildings to...
