Situated in the green hills of Monmouthshire, Raglan Castle is the biggest castle ever built by a Welshman and one of the last medieval castles to built in England and Wales. It was home to Henry Tudor among others, and played its part during the Civil War, with some 800...
We headed to The Red Dragon Centre today as part of Cardiff Mummy Says’ role as official blogger ambassador for the Cardiff Bay entertainment and dining complex. Hollywood Bowl are holding one of their regular family fun weekends today and tomorrow, which sees glow-in-the-dark bowling, face-painting, treasure hunts and mascots...
The upside of my children’s swimming lessons starting at 8.30am on a Sunday morning is that once they’re finished in the pool, we’re already out and about with the rest of the day ahead of us. Last weekend, we decided to make the most of the sunny weather and head...
You know that famous saying about how Christmas is magical as a child, but doesn’t even begin to compare to the magic you experience of being a parent at Christmastime? Well, it’s the same with Disney On Ice. I can only imagine how thrilling it would have been to have...
