Surprise Surprise!

  TIG’s mum surprised us today with an ‘activity’. We hadn’t got a clue what it was going to be but the TIG family were certainly not disappointed. Today, we were treated to a Winter Watch Highland Safari near Aberfeldy in Scotland. We also got the chance to get up close and personal and feed the red deer. This was an incredible day out and you can read my full review of our Highland Safaris experience here. The red deer...

Idea #23: Highland Safaris

I’m not sure if this was because TIG’s...

That postcode is our destination for Christmas. On the front of the postcard is a slightly worryingly scene of a tent, very heavy rain and lots of mud. Maybe this isn’t going to be the magical Christmas I was dreaming of! TIG’s boyfriend typed the postcode into the Sat-Nav...

Idea #22: Stockeld Park

This weekend the TIG family took a trip to Stockeld Park to help get us all into the Christmas spirit! This place certainly lived up to its tagline – ‘where magic is made and adventures begin’ – even without children! We took a stroll through the mystical forest, tried our hand at Nordic skiing, whizzed around the ice rink (whilst holding onto the side!) and then got lost in the maze. Stockeld Park is a unique and...
