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.   

GoBoat Vibes: A Review of the new GoBoat Kingston Location

Cruising the Thames With GoBoat

Last month we were invited to Kingston, to trial the new GoBoat location ahead of its official launch.  We live so close to the Thames, and have often dreamt about hiring a boat for a spot of cruising, whilst we have walked the tow paths.  The sailors along the Thames always look like they are living the dream!   Waving at us mere mortals, whilst chugging a beer, carefree in the beaming sunshine.  That’s the dream right there!  So when we got this invite there wasnt ever a chance that we were going to say No.

Bing Live Vibes: A Toddlers First Trip to the Theatre

Bing Live London

It’s a Bing Thing

Let’s be honest, you’d have to be living under a rock to not be aware that Bing fever has well and truly swept the country. There’s something about that whiny, husky, bunny that just seems to captivate our little folk. I suppose it could be worse, at least the moral lessons taught by Flop and Amma are relevant to today’s modern parenting woes, and Bing, Sula, Coco and that other weird errr, pander-y thing?  Speak a fairly decent level of queens English. You won’t find none of that fliberdy flobady Bill and Ben drivel here. read more
