Quebec Canada – 10th May 2025
Day 6 – Today was wild and untamed. This is why we wanted to come to Canada and specifically Quebec. Someone told Daddy in Montreal that Quebec had been blessed with nature. Today we caught a brief glimpse of that at Parc régional de la Rivière-du-Nord. It was only a short 17 min drive from…

Quebec Canada – 9th May 2025
Day 5 – Today was a home schooling day. It was also Daddies last official day at work so the pressure was on. First job, grab some essentials as we have already run out of a few bits. Daddy headed to IGA Express (which is kind of their equivalent to Sainsbury’s) and started to try…

Quebec Canada – 8th May 2025
Day 4 – This episode is titled ‘Elliott Is Not Well.’ My heart breaks. Daddy goes into his room at 6am and Ell is curled up in the large bed not happy. Daddy propped him up with another pillow and headed for the bathroom. Daddy!….Elliott’s been sick. Poor guy. Poor Daddy and (when she eventually…

Day 3 – The day is known as “Mummy on the lake day” they explored and took the pedalo out for its maiden voyage. We made our way down to the lake, just for a little look to suss out the lay of the land and when the boys saw the pedalo, they were obviously…

Quebec Canada – 6th May 2025
Day 2 – Means getting settled and discovering things. First thing. It’s cold. When Daddy was in Montreal for work, the climate was similar to London’s, mild and occasionally sunny. In Saint Anne, there is a crispness that taps you on the shoulder and tangos your face in the morning. Grabbing that hoodie in the…

Quebec Canada – 5th May 2025
Day 1 – Our next adventure. We are in Quebec, Canada, the only French-speaking part of the country, which is like being in France, but with Walmart and yellow school buses. The first task was to get the rental car. My friend from Alamo started with “we have a beautiful black on black Wagoneer” Daddy…

Michigan – 27th April 2025
We were up at 4am, for our 4:30am taxi pickup! In true Mummy style, I was still making my peanut butter on toast and a Contigo flask of tea (which I would later regret having to carry through the airport) as Sanjay pulled up, but by 4:45am, we were off! A speedy hour and a…

Swanage – 15th May 2024
We were up early and hopeful for our day of sailing! The wind had other ideas! We met the amazing Klaus (Russ’ work colleague) in the Swanage Sailing Club car park, and he is such a laid back, kind man – we felt very lucky to have been invited for the day. We donned all…

Corfe Castle – 14th May 2024
What a fabulous day! The sun was shining, the boys were smiling, we had packed lunches ready to go and a Castle waiting to be explored! After a brief detour around the town of ‘Corfe Castle’, we eventually found THE Corfe Castle! We then heard a story from the very helpful National Trust ladies about…

Lulworth – 13th May 2024
Today – Lulworth Cove and the beautiful walk to Durdle Door! But first!…we had to wave goodbye to the fabulous cottage we had been lucky enough to stay in! The walk was an awesome mix of uphill struggle and ankle-rolling downward rock descents. The rain was a fabulous addition to the morning, however, despite his…
