Yesterday we were invited to ride on the spooky Swanage Railway Ghost Train. 

We boarded at Norden and took an hour round trip to Swanage and back. The views of Corfe Castle gave an exciting and eerie backdrop which the kids loved, whilst we listened to spooky stories told by a friendly witch. They also loved the little Halloween themed freebies…

It’s on for the rest of half-term, so grab your Halloween costumes and go have some spooky fun!

Pumpkin Time! 🎃👻 @sunnyfieldsfarm 🎃This Pumpkin Time! 🎃👻 @sunnyfieldsfarm 

🎃This is my favourite place to visit in October… 10,000 pumpkins creating an incredible tribute to Ozzy Osborne. A spooky Glow Trail and the largest pumpkin ever grown! 

So many pumpkins, so many photo opportunities, great food and a DJ in the evenings. And when it gets dark the autumnal vibes get even better!

Feeling all the autumnal vibes this weekend as we Feeling all the autumnal vibes this weekend as we embraced the change of season with a visit to the Cat and Fiddle Farm. I love summer but there’s something about the change of season!

Pumpkin ice cream sundaes, pumpkin spiced hot chocolate, a stroll in the pumpkin fields and an absolutely brilliant Halloween themed show from @gladragproductions … I think I loved it more than the kids!

Making the most of the September sunshine this wee Making the most of the September sunshine this week with one last sunny paddleboard on the River Avon in Christchurch. Under bridges, past weeping willows and waving to cows grazing on the waters edge! 

I am definitely a fair weather paddle boarder so I’ll be hosing down the board today and packing it away until next summer… 😆

Postcards from 48 hours in Portugal… 🌍 We bo Postcards from 48 hours in Portugal…

🌍 We booked our two night trip with @loveholidaysofficial for a weekend in the sun.

✈️ We flew from Bournemouth Airport early on a Friday landing in Faro at 9.30am with @jet2pics and back with @ryanair at 7.40pm on Sunday so we actually ended up with pretty much three whole days.

🧳 To keep the cost down we choose hand luggage only and went with just a backpack. I’ve never done this before but found a great backpack on Amazon that was the correct dimensions… apart from a mini panic trying to fit my souvenirs back in on the way home it worked out fine! 

🏨 We stayed @muthu_clube_praia_da_oura in Albufeira. The total cost was £340 each including our all inclusive stay, flights and transfers.

🌞 We spent the first day exploring and on the beach, the next day was a pool day and the final day we walked to the old town for souvenir shopping and a lovely lunch. The evenings were all about the buffet, hotel entertainment and amusing walks along ‘The Strip.’

🌴Albufeira was a lovely spot! It may not be for everyone and it wasn’t what people made me think it was… maybe in the height of the summer it’s a different place… but in September without the crowds and the sun shining it was a perfect mini break.

Such a dreamy way to spend the weekend and proud of myself for fitting everything in just a backpack!

48 hours in Portugal with just a backpack and a lo 48 hours in Portugal with just a backpack and a lovely friend… ✈️☀️🍷🌴

We got an early flight from Bournemouth on Friday morning and landed in Portugal at 9.30am, transfer to hotel, had a stroll, lunch, beach, dinner. Saturday was a pool day, reading, catching some rays and snoozing in the shade. Sunday we spent exploring the old town, had a lovely lazy lunch with a glass of wine before heading to the airport for our evening flight home.

Such a dreamy way to spend the weekend and proud of myself for fitting everything in just a backpack!
