Don’t want to find your account suspended for la Don’t want to find your account suspended for lack of blossom? Get thee t’Ilkley. Which (dare I say) is just as pretty as Harrogate this time of year. But with the added bonus of a slightly more wild side 🌿

In fact, a short stroll away from the genteel town centre, you soon find yourself in a much more rugged landscape dotted with rocky outcrops and ancient carvings. 

Thanks to the brilliant @thereluctantexplorers for sharing all their local knowledge so we were able to explore Ilkley Moor without getting stupidly lost. 

Here’s to a lovely Easter 🐣

We are nothing if not consistent. We have our set We are nothing if not consistent. We have our set route. We always stop at the same cafe. I have a cup of tea. We finish with a trip to the Little Wild Wood.

Luckily, the Yorkshire Sculpture Park knows how to shake things up.

This time we got towering, hand-thrown ceramics, an undulating weaving, lambs, creative bags filled with hands-on activities, blossom and mythical figures.

All pretty extraordinary, really. 

And don’t worry we left it all in one piece 🫣

I booked the cheapest flights I could find, then w I booked the cheapest flights I could find, then worried about the actual planning later 🫣

This badly thought out approach to family holidays actually led us to one of the best holidays we’ve ever had last summer. 

We ended up staying in the beach town of Calafell (near Barcelona) for the bulk of the time - but as our flights were to lovely Girona, I wanted to spend a little time getting to know this most stylish of Catalan cities.

Boy is Girona beautiful. But we also found some fun family friendly stuff. 

I have written a full guide on my blog (link in bio or search for The Little Adventurer) with kid friendly  activities, restaurants and hotels.

But as a sneak peak, here are a couple of highlights:

@museucinema - interactive fun in the centre of town
@crepdequegirona - the best takeaway crepes
@casadeculturagi - interesting exhibitions (they currently have a playful sculpture exhibition for children).

Maybe one to save, in case you find yourself in this beautiful part of Spain.

Sunny days are coming … and so it might be time Sunny days are coming … and so it might be time to work on your playground bucket list. Take it from someone whose kids have almost outgrown them 😭

I’ve chosen those with extraordinary play structures or locations (and often a bit of both) across Yorkshire and North East England.

I know I have probably done South and East Yorkshire and much of the North East a bit of a disservice. Sorry!

Do let me know if you think I’ve missed a brilliant playground off the list. 

Oh and happy Mother’s Day to all the British mums - I hope if you are playground bound today, you at least get a hot drink and a slice of cake x

My mini guide to Wakefield is in @theipaper today My mini guide to Wakefield is in @theipaper today (and I believe in print tomorrow).

I love this little cathedral city, known for mining, rhubarb and sculpture. And it was good to get to shout a little louder about some of the brilliant things going on there, including: 

@yspsculpture 
@hepworthwakefield 
@thearthouseuk 
@wxwakefield 
@tileyard_north 
@thedistillerybarwakefield

Thinking of making the trip? Consider timing for the @wilshermills exhibition this summer, including a new 20-foot inflatable sculpture 😍.

I’ve popped the link to the article in my bio - like it’s 2017 ✌🏼

We were meant to go to the seaside on Sunday. So I We were meant to go to the seaside on Sunday. So I’m not entirely sure how we ended up in Wakefield. 

It worked out well out, though, as we got to snoop around the newly opened @wxwakefield - a big cultural venue in the centre of town.

There were some interactive art installations, which I won’t tell you too much about as they have packed up in preparation for a huge free video gaming event this weekend 👾 (8&9 March)

There is also @grayswx (a female owned coffee shop which serves yummy cakes, toasties and hot chocolate), a dinky @theexchangetap and tex mex from @lachingada_texmex_uk 😋

Thursdays and Fridays evenings bring free live music 🎶 

We then bumped into @wilshermills sculpture outside Wakefield’s gorgeous cathedral (it has the tallest spire in Yorkshire don’t you know) before driving 10 minutes over to Sandal Castle to run off some energy. 

Wakefield is always fun - but it just got even better 🤸🏻

Every time we go to Farsley I ask my husband wheth Every time we go to Farsley I ask my husband whether we should move to Farsley. It’s that kind of place.

And although the idea of packing and unpacking means it isn’t going to happen (reader: after 5 years in the U.K. we have only just hung a picture in our living room 🫣), I do like the idea of having @sunnybankmills on my doorstep. Partly because it means I might bump into Partrick and Esme when they are filming Sewing Bee 🐝.

But today we went there for the lovely Print Fair (on again tomorrow -  Sunday 2nd). It was fun to look at all the brilliant pictures we might buy and then not get round to hanging up for another couple of years 🫠 and my son found a couple of cool zines. 

Our big highlight, though, was the @peoplepoweredpress exhibition and workshop space in the attic. Thank you so much for showing us how to do some printing of our own ❤️
