Things to do in Malaga with kids

September 21, 2012 by Gretta Schifano Leave a Comment

malaga, spain

We loved our day in Malaga this summer. The eldest was not keen on our parking spot, by the bullring, but we distracted her from what happened in the bullring and walked through the old part of town to the Picasso museum. The artist was born in the city, although he never returned after the […]

While on a family holiday in southern Spain we took a day trip to Morocco. The coast of Africa is clearly visible from the tip of Spain, so we couldn’t miss the opportunity of popping over there. It was an organised tour, and so quite limited as to what we saw, but as none of us had […]

Kayaking for kids

Kayaking at Stackpole on a National Trust family volunteering holiday. Copyright Gretta Schifano

My kids and I were in Pembrokeshire this week with some other Mums and kids, and my friend Lizzie and her two eldest went sea kayaking at the National Trust’s Stackpole Quay and had a great time. We weren’t organised enough to book ahead, and so there wasn’t space for all of us, sadly. I’ve […]

The Harry Potter Studio Tour

May 24, 2012 by Gretta Schifano 2 Comments

the making of harry potter studio tour

My family loves Harry Potter. It feels like our eldest grew up with him, and the day the Deathly Hallows book came out we had to buy two copies because neither of us could wait to read it. (My husband felt this to be an appalling waste of money and still hasn’t forgiven me 5 […]

How to make an Easter bonnet

March 27, 2012 by Gretta Schifano 8 Comments

The youngest’s school Easter Bonnet Parade is looming. This, like World Book Day and other such occasions, must have been dreamt up by an alpha mum who can effortlessly fashion a costume out of scraps of leftover craft materials she happens to have lying around, and whose extrovert child loves nothing more than turning up at […]

Brighton Modelworld

brighton pier

My youngest adores Lego so when he heard about Brighton Modelworld 2012 (‘a must for every modelling enthusiast’) I knew where we’d all be on Sunday. The eldest came along for the ride, a friend in tow, ducking out to the Churchill Shopping Centre before we’d even parked. Modelworld was at the Brighton Centre, conveniently on the seafront so that […]
