Tucked away on the northern coast of Devon is a beautiful castle dating back to 1825. It was built by Arthur Davie Basset for his bride Harriet, isn’t that so romantic? Evidence of a labyrinth of tunnels leading to the harbour suggests to historians it was a smuggling hotspot in years gone by. The [...] 
Our half term break was spent in North Devon at Woolacombe to be precise where we have visited before but never tire of returning.
This break was unique in as much we towed our caravan down there for the very first time so a massive step for us and it all [...] 
Thorpe Park is way too advanced to take the twins along but I knew my niece Rosie, 13 and nephew Billy, 11 would love it so I put the idea to their parents first and they all jumped at spending some family time together and reviewing Thorpe park for Mari’s World. Here’s an account [...] 
This weekend saw the official opening of the DUPLO Valley Splash and Play area at LEGOLAND Windsor and we were lucky to be invited to test run it. We had a brilliant time and all our photos can be found on the Mari’s World Great British Housewife Facebook page We arrived to a [...] 
Now there’s one holiday I have never been on but that is high, very high, on my Bucket List; a boating trip on the Norfolk Broads. I could have gone years ago, my mum’s partner at the time took my brothers on a boating holiday on the Broads and although the partner hasn’t been [...]

I had the enormous good fortune to be offered a spa session during our Easter break to Butlins Bognor Regis as a wedding gift. There’s nothing more fantastic for busy mums than a little bit of me time carved out every now and then, I think it’s fundamental to recharge the batteries and [...] 
Have you heard about slow food? It’s the opposite of fast food and I heard about it first in Italy years back it’s about making the most of every mouthful and enjoying your food rather than just putting it away. It’s about taking time to cook something delicious and appreciate the process from start [...] 
I was born in London, Paddington to be precise (the hospital not the station!) and my first few years were spent in Brixton. My grandmother lived in Waterloo and we would see her at the weekends so London really is in my soul. I’d live there now if I didn’t have kids could afford [...] 
Our Easter holidays started with a fabulous trip to Butlins Bognor Regis this year. As a Butlins Mum Ambassador we were invited to take a short break and our first choice Minehead wasn’t available for Easter as it had been booked up for a music weekend.
