What we didn’t do on our Wales holiday

Back in 2024, when we went to Northumberland for our summer holiday, I posted a list of the places that we didn't go to but had considered. I didn't publish a list last year, as I knew we were going back to Wales this year. But we've decided we'll be going to the Yorkshire Coast...

#oneaday Day 828: Today is last full day

Dawn of the Final Day, 24 Hours Remain and all that. (Except it's less than 24 hours now by quite a bit, because I'm writing this at 11pm and we go home tomorrow.) This "re-holiday" has mostly been a success. It's a shame Andie had to be ill for a lot of it and thus...

#oneaday Day 826: No-one needs to take their phone into a swimming pool. No-one!

I remember a few years back, the very thought of taking a camera-equipped mobile phone into a swimming pool would have immediately -- and quite rightly -- branded you as some sort of perverted weirdo. And yet for the last few times Andie and I have been at Center Parcs, we have witnessed the eyeroll-inducing...

#oneaday Day 825: Today is quiet

It's been a quiet day today, as we intended. Andie has been feeling a bit under the weather, so she has been taking it easy (she is napping as I type this), but I decided I'd go out and have a swim by myself earlier. It was a good time; I continuously swam (very slowly...

#oneaday Day 824: Today is pool and drinks you can chew

Quiet day today, informed slightly by the fact that I woke up in the middle of the night and thought I was going to be sick (I wasn't) and we then slept in until after 1pm. Whoops. Oh well. We are on holiday, and there was nothing we needed to get out of the door...

#oneaday Day 823: Today is spa

As has sort of become "tradition" over the course of our last few holidays at Center Parcs, today we had our day at the Aqua Sana spa. And, as always, it was a thoroughly pleasant experience. If you've never been to a spa for one reason or another, I highly encourage you to give it...

#oneaday Day 822: Today is holiday

We're here! Or there, depending on how you look at it. An uneventful drive down, aside from some traffic around Salisbury, and my mini PC refusing to boot up for some reason (that's going to be fun to diagnose, since it's also my work computer), and we're safely ensconced in our pleasant little forest lodge,...

#oneaday Day 821: Tomorrow is holiday

We're off on holiday tomorrow! It may seem extravagant to have two going-away holidays in the same year (to the exact same place, no less), but as I've mentioned previously, our prior attempt earlier in the year was spoiled somewhat by worrying over a certain idiotic orange cat who had decided to explore the Great...

#oneaday Day 815: A second time around

I have four more days of work before we go on holiday for the second time this year. This may sound extravagant, but given that the first time around was during the period that Oliver went missing, I'm sure you won't judge us for wanting a "do-over". We had some money from anniversary gifts, so...

📍 Week 262 - Cornwall

We continued our holiday in Cornwall. The weather was mostly sunny all week, but on one cloudy, drizzly day we drove down to Falmouth on the south coast. The National Maritime Museum was fine, but didn’t grab the boys’ interest. We walked up the hill to Pendennis Castle and shelt

🏖️ Week 261 - Beach

I’ve been away on holiday, so sorry if these weeknotes are a little late. I was a little busy holidaying. We were in Porthtowan, a little town on the north coast of Cornwall, staying in a cottage right by the beach with my parents. I squeezed myself into a wetsuit and surprised m

Our 2026 holiday: Penrhyn Castle

As members, it's inevitable that we would end up at a National Trust property in Wales. We didn't manage to squeeze in Pehrhyn Castle on last year's holiday, but we made an afternoon visit this year. Built in the 19th century, this opulent country house blends Gothic architecture with a complex past linked to slate and slavery. Discover its impressive Great Hall, expansive grounds, and essential visitor information for your next visit to this historic site.

We’re in Wales

As mentioned at the start of the month, we're off to Wales again for our summer holiday, and by the time you read this, we should have been there a couple of days. We're staying near Conwy again, in a rented holiday cottage, as a group of five - me, Christine, our ten-year-old and my...

Jumping into July

Here we are, into the latter half of the year. I'm continuing to recover, and this month sees us go on our annual summer holiday. Recovery update I'm slowly regaining mobility in my arms, following my fall, and I'm generally in less pain now. I'm still not fully back to normal, but may be closer...

#oneaday Day 735: Many distractions

We have both been feeling pretty upset today -- like, breaking down in tears upset -- so, during moments of clarity, we attempted to get out a bit and actually do some things rather than spending the entire day miserable. We actually ended up having a rather busy day as a result. This began with...

#oneaday Day 734: Wildlife

One of the nicest things about Center Parcs is that there is an absolute ton of incredibly tame wildlife around the place. Just today, we have seen a wild cat, several deer, a variety of birds and a bunch of squirrels. I will, of course, grant you that the reason the wildlife is so very...

#oneaday Day 733: Distractions

Today we went to the swimming pool, the central attraction of most Center Parcs sites. We had a good time having a little swim in the nice warm outdoor "Sprudel pool" and sitting stewing in the outdoor jacuzzi for a bit. For the rest of the day, we've been trying to relax as best we...
