Carry On Kelmarsh Vibes : Camping in Utopia

2020 The Year That Lost A Summer

Since the UK went into its first lockdown, there has been growing concern for the future of live events.  This time last year, a Summer without live music was looking increasingly likely.  So you can imagine how relieved we were when the team behind Starry Skies and Shambala announced their plans to reinvigorate Summer 2020.  Carry on Kelmarsh was billed as a “once in a lifetime opportunity”, and we can confirm it was all that and more. read more

Oi Frog Vibes : A Review of Oi Frog and Friends at The Lyric Theatre


Disclosure: We were gifted complementary tickets to Oi Frog & Friends in exchange for a review.  All opinions and words are our own. 

Oi Frog and Friends

We’ve been fans of the hysterical ‘Oi’ series since Em was months old.  In fact Kes Gray’s ‘Oi Frog’ was one of the first books I read to him.  I loved the colourful and fun illustrations by Jim Field, and the sass and attitude of Frog and Cat I could totally get on board with.  Since then we have followed the rhyming antics of Frog, Cat and the not so clever dog, and “Oi Frog… Sit on a Log” is a common phrase in our household! read more

Starry Skies Vibes: Why We’re Going to get Mucky This Summer at Starry Skies Festival

Look to Starry Skies

If you’ve been following us for a while, you will know that one of our favourite past times is Festivaling.  Is that even a word? If not we’re claiming it.  Going to Festivals as a family is our way of spending precious time with each other! It’s also a way to experience a festival through Emerson’s eyes. His impression when he hears music ,and all the bright colours!  Or the way he chases a group of running children into the woods gives us pure joy.

It’s no big secret that me and Keeley are a bit “festival obsessed.  We’ve spent the best part of 17 years trying to satisfy our hunger for these huge outdoor musical playgrounds.  No matter how many we attend, we are never truly satisfied, there’s always a new experience to be had in a venue we’ve never visited. That’s why we spend most of our days dreaming about what our next big festival is going to be. Boomtown we’re looking at you. read more

When Annabel Met Sani

We love to travel!  The whole reason behind setting up our blog was to document our experiences traveling with Em.  In fact, our first post was all about Em’s first trip abroad at 4 months, and boy were we smug!! Don’t let anyone put you off traveling with a baby!!  Traveling with a baby is easy!!  Yes, prep is key, but babies sleep!  They don’t move!!  You can sunbathe, without chasing after a toddler heading full steam towards a swimming pool.  You also don’t have to worry about what to feed them – It’s all Milk Baby! read more
