Last night we went to @manchesterarena to see @cirquedusoleil for the @torukthefirstflight show and wow. What a show, the acrobatics and strength of the performers blows your mind and the staging is just magnificent and the music mesmerising. This was a total feast for the senses. This was the first time for Ella and she was captivated, totally loved it. #cirquedusoleil #toruk #torukfirstflight #magicalnight #takeyourkidseverywhere #nightsout #familytravelblogger #acrobaticextrodinaire #manchesterarena
Just an average Sunday here. This one NEEDED a face pack before Sunday shower/bath. So who am I to argue. #beautyroutines #mygal #sundayfunday
Yeah the sun 🌞 is out. She is hiding behind the cloud right now but she is definitely coming out to play. #summer #nomorerainplease
This one was so excited for @girlguidingstockport Brownie camping sleepover over tonight. They have pizza and hot choc supper, musicians, a day full of activities tomorrow and it’s making me want to be 8 all over again. Husband and I should have planned a night out but instead it’s G&T and a home cooked slow roasted lamb shank with coconut it curry sauce for us. #girlguidingstockport #brownielife #girlsjustwannahavefun #livingherbestlife #myworld #thegreatoutdoors #campinglife #ukexplore
Yesterday was our 10 year wedding anniversary and, like the day we wed, the weather was perfect. The wind had dropped and we just had 🌞 🌞 🌞. We hired bikes from @campinglasirene and headed into #argelessurmer. The cycle paths are brilliant and despite it not being high season yet as it was French holiday it was much much busier. We stopped so Ella could have a slush as her eyes lit up by the choice of 24 flavours then headed round to the port. There was the equivalent of a car boot sale going on but with even worse tat. However one man’s trash and all that. Still surprises me what people will buy. We chose a restaurant and had a delicious lunch watching the world go by. Truly beaten by the moules and apple tart we headed to the beach and a dip in the sea. It was gorgeous. When we finally made our way back to the campsite we couldn’t believe the difference from the previous day. It was so busy and gave glimpse of what peak time would be like. We stayed by the pool until around 7pm before calling it a day. More cards, rumikub (current champion right here) before calling it a night so we can enjoy our last day. #frenchcampinglife #familytravelblogger #halftermholiday #campinglasirene #familytravel #campinglasirene #takeyourkidseverywhere #france
Almost 23 years ago I met a cheeky, chap on a campsite in Brittany. We stayed in touch for a bit and then our paths took a different route. After a few years those paths crossed again and today we are on another campsite, this time in the south of France 🇫🇷 celebrating our 10 year anniversary this time with our gorgeous gal for company. Who would have thought it eh???? Here’s to the next 10+ Mr B XX
Today has been pretty damn glorious. The wind was still in full force this morning but by 3ish it had dropped and it instantly felt hotter. We had a lazy morning on site with another trip to the fab park including a round of mini golf 🏌️‍♀️. We then decided to go check out Argeles Ville. We only had a couple of hours including, a crepe lunch and a mooch about the old town. It is pretty small and a bit of work going on but pretty enough and some super cute houses. Once we headed back to @campinglasirene we were straight to the pool and Ella got her holiday braid which is #holidaygoals for her. As it was on site we were happy to grab a drink and relax in the windless sunshine at last. It’s been another great day in the south of France 🇫🇷 more of the same tomorrow I am sure #frenchcampinglife #familytravelblogger #halftermholiday #campinglasirene #familytravel #happycampers #frenchcamping #frenchcampinglife #argelessurmer
After a park and pool morning we headed out after lunch to La Plage. There is a tourist train that does a loop of the town, beach and campsites and off season it is free. Granted it doesn’t run as often but a bit of planning is all that is needed. We grabbed an ice cream 🍦 and went and sat on the beach which was pretty empty. The wind had dropped slightly so we enjoyed a good hour just chilling and chatting. We set off for a mooch along the Main Street and stopped for a cold one where then decided we I check out the Port. We will definitely be heading back for a long lazy lunch one day. There was a random art exhibition along the esplanade all about Tibet and with some amazing photography. Last night we headed back to the animation area where there was another concert. This was an act called Diamonds and was part drag act, part cabaret all very camp (excuse the pun). The costumes were pretty amazing, as was the production for a campsite and Ella wanted to stay to the very end despite being freezing 🥶. That meant a lie in this morning and she slept through to 9.30 which is unheard of for my little early bird #familytravelblogger #campinglasirene #familytravel #takeyourkidseverywhere #happycampers #frenchcamping #frenchcampinglife #argelessurmer #halftermholiday
Yesterday morning was all about the park and pool. The park at @campinglasirene is one of the best I have seen on a campsite. With trampolines, a secure climbing area, swings, table tennis, bouldering, plus your usual play area. They also have a mini golf area which is free to use. It is also where you hire bikes from and that is the plan for later in the week. The pool area is fabulous too with 2 indoor areas which is needed with the wind chill. But is the slides that really make it. Ella completely in her element. #familytravel #campingholidays #familytravelblogger #campinglasirene #takeyourkidseverywhere #happycampers
