You don’t have to plan every single meal down to the last detail, but being prepared when it comes to feeding your family in a motorhome will make your life a lot easier on the road. 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. …
Would you ever go to Lapland with your autistic child? If you’re reading this then I guess you might be thinking about it. However, you might be wondering whether going there is a good idea.

What are the best car games with kids? A few weeks ago we embarked on our longest family road trip to date – 500 miles from Yorkshire to Westerhoven in The Netherlands. The furthest we’d driven is to Cornwall and I planned our first trip there to the nth degree. Thank goodness I did. We ended up spending 9 …

There’s no getting around the fact that holidays to Lapland are not cheap. You are looking at more than £2,0000 for a three-night stay including flights, accommodation and activities for a family of four. This can rise to £7,000-plus for a nice hotel in a remote location. It’s easy to get carried away when booking a trip to Lapland and …
It was whilst zipping across a frozen lake at 20mph that I realised I’d forgotten a vital item of clothing on our husky trip in Lapland.
