How to prepare for a trip to Legoland Windsor? There are a few things you can do to make the most out of your day. When Little Bear decided he wanted to go to Legoland for his 7th birthday in December, I was sceptical. Was it open in the winter? Would it be cold, wet and miserable? Would Little Bear …
The Quality Streets have been demolished, the house is a mess and you have no idea what day it is. Sound familiar? If cabin fever is setting in, everybody is getting on each other’s nerves and you need to get out of the house, then check out these autism-friendly days out in Yorkshire between Christmas and New Year. Let me know …
We love going on trips but there’s no doubt that some days out as a family with additional needs can be daunting and stressful – not to mention costly – if it all goes wrong. Luckily there are lots of ways to potentially save money on autism-friendly days out. Here are 31 of them: 1. Max Card The …
“Is that one, mummy?” “I think that’s just a wave.” “What about that one?” *Squints* “Er….” “When are they coming mummy?” “Hmm…Oh, look, have you seen that boat over there?” We’d secured the perfect spot. Sitting almost at the tip of Chanonry Point we had a clear view for scanning the Moray Firth for any ripples of movement. It …
One of the best places we stayed during our Scottish Highlands trip was near Rosemarkie on the Black Isle Peninsula. Our pitch on the Caravan and Camping Club site overlooked the beach and the kids loved being able to jump out of the motorhome and straight onto the sand.

Motorhome and van kitchens are, of course, very small, and usually feature smaller than average pots and pans. If you can, prepare a few …
We loved our first holiday this summer but it was one of those trips where we were learning the motorhome hacks as we went along. I wrote a LOT of lists during our week away for how we would do things differently next time. We didn’t have any major disasters but a bit of tweaking would have made our lives …
It’s inevitable. You’ve made your lists for your motorhome holiday, you’ve diligently packed, and you’ve also run around the house at the last minute shoving things you might need into a random bag. Then at some point on the journey to your destination – usually within the first half an hour for me – you realise you’ve forgotten something. …
I’ve always wanted to go on a family camper van/motorhome holiday. There’s something about the freedom of driving around with everything you need that has always appealed to me. It’s one of those holidays that divides people. You either recoil in horror at the thought of being in a confined space with your family for a week or two, or you …
