5 Fun Things To Do In The Thames Valley

No comments
Disclosure - This is a collaborative post. 

The Thames Valley area is a beautiful and historic region west of London, encompassing parts of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. With charming towns and villages, stretches of countryside and of course, the River Thames flowing through, there's much to see and do. Here are 5 suggestions for fun things to explore in the Thames Valley area.

River Thames


Take a Cruise Along the Thames
From the heart of Oxford to the royal county of Windsor, the Thames offers wonderful vistas and plenty of attractions along its banks. Take a relaxing river cruise and view sights like Oxford’s spires, Abingdon’s vineyards, or Windsor Castle from a different perspective. Many cruises also stop along the way, allowing you to hop-on and hop-off to explore places in more depth.

Wander Around Beautiful Historic Towns
Thames Valley is home to some  pretty historic market towns and villages like Wallingford, Goring, Pangbourne and Cookham. Spend an afternoon wandering cobbled lanes, browsing antique shops, relaxing by the river or stopping for a traditional cream tea. Nearby larger towns also offer great exploring, especially royal Windsor with its imposing castle, Eton college and quaint high street.

Go Walking or Cycling Through the Countryside
Get active by embarking on walks or bike rides on established trails. Ramble through water meadows awash with colourful wildflowers in spring and summer. Or follow sections of the Thames Path taking in bucolic scenery, stopping at historic pubs or spotted deer grazing in water meadows along the way. The Chilterns area also boasts wonderful walking countryside criss-crossed by footpaths and bridleways with sweet villages dotted throughout. 

This is a great activity for parents and foster carers with children to entertain. If you are fostering in Thames Valley, plan a nature walk and ask your foster children to create a diary of the things they see and do.

See Local Attractions Like Basildon Park and River & Rowing Museum
Thames Valley offers a wealth of interesting cultural and historical attractions to visit. Basildon Park is a stunning 18th-century country house surrounded by 400 acres of parkland and gardens, located between Reading and Oxford. The River & Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames is dedicated to the heritage of the town’s rowing as well as the River Thames itself. Other popular attractions include Savill Garden in Windsor Great Park and Waterperry Gardens in Oxfordshire.

Dine at Great Country Pubs
No trip to the Thames Valley countryside is complete without stopping for a meal at a traditional British pub along the way. The area certainly has its fair share of characterful old taverns, especially in riverside towns and villages where many establishments sit directly on the banks of the Thames itself. Look out for recommended gastropubs serving excellent seasonal fare or choose a country inn filled with roaring fires in winter and leafy beer gardens in summer. Sipping a crisp pint or two of real ale makes for an integral part of any visit.

With enticing towns, chocolate-box villages, nature trails, historic sites, gardens and of course classic country pubs, the Thames Valley offers wonderful ways to spend relaxing yet engaging days out.

9 Things to See and Do in Italy in February

No comments
Italy is a favourite holiday destination among many travel bloggers. In February, you'll find lively festivals, smaller crowds, and a new perspective on the country. While the weather might be cooler, the warmth of Italian hospitality never fades. Here are nine must-do activities if you find yourself in Italy during this charming winter month.

Experience the Venice Carnival
The Venice Carnival is one of the most famous events in Italy, attracting visitors from all over the world. It usually takes place in February, leading up to Lent. Imagine streets filled with people donning elaborate masks and costumes, creating a magical atmosphere. The city becomes a stage for performances, parades, and masquerade balls. Don't miss the chance to witness the grandeur of the Venetian celebrations – it's truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Hit the Slopes in the Italian Alps
If you're a winter sports fan, then the Italian Alps are calling your name. February offers some of the best skiing conditions, with plenty of snow and crisp mountain air. Pack for a ski trip and head to resorts like Courmayeur and Cervinia who cater to all levels of skiers and snowboarders. After an exhilarating day on the slopes, cozy up in a mountain lodge and enjoy hearty Italian cuisine by the fire.

Soak Up Some Culture in Florence
Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, is a treasure trove of art and history. With fewer tourists around, you can take your time exploring the Uffizi Gallery, home to masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli, without the usual crowds. Stroll across the Ponte Vecchio, visit the stunning Florence Cathedral, and cap off your day with gelato, even if it's a bit chilly outside – it's always gelato season in Italy!

Celebrate Valentine's Day in Verona
Verona, the setting for Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," becomes even more romantic in February. The city hosts 'Verona in Love,' a festival dedicated to love and lovers each year. The streets are adorned with heart-shaped lanterns, and there are concerts, markets, and poetry readings. You can also leave a love note on Juliet’s wall or visit the famous balcony. It's the perfect destination for couples looking for a romantic getaway.

Indulge in Chocolate at the Eurochocolate Festival in Perugia
Chocolate lovers rejoice! Perugia hosts the Eurochocolate Festival every February, where chocolate artisans from Italy and beyond showcase their delicious creations. You can sample everything from classic bars to exotic flavours you've never imagined. There are also workshops, sculptures made of chocolate, and plenty of opportunities to buy gifts for your loved ones (or for yourself!).

Explore the Quiet Beauty of Cinque Terre
The five picturesque villages of Cinque Terre are a sight to behold year-round, but visiting in February means you'll share the stunning views with fewer tourists. Wander through the colourful houses perched on rugged cliffs, hike the scenic trails connecting the villages, or simply enjoy the tranquil ambiance of the Mediterranean Sea. The cooler weather is perfect for savouring a warm bowl of seafood pasta while gazing out at the serene waters.

Attend the Historic Carnevale di Ivrea
Head to the town of Ivrea in northern Italy to witness the historic Carnevale di Ivrea, known for its unique and passionate Battle of the Oranges. This event symbolizes the fight for freedom and involves teams throwing oranges at each other, representing ancient combat. It's a thrilling spectacle that combines history, tradition, and much of citrus! Remember to wear a red hat to signal that you're just watching, not participating in the battle.

Coliseum in Rome


Discover the Wonders of Rome Without the Crowds
Rome in February is a delight for those who prefer to avoid the peak season hustle. With much shorter wait times, you can visit iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Vatican Museums. Take a leisurely walk through the city's cobblestone streets, enjoy a cappuccino in a quiet piazza, and soak up the rich history surrounding you at every turn.

Enjoy the Almond Blossom Festival in Agrigento, Sicily
Celebrate the early arrival of spring at the Almond Blossom Festival in Agrigento, Sicily. This festival marks the beginning of the almond blossom season and features folk groups, dancers, and musicians worldwide. The Valley of the Temples, with its Greek ruins, provides a stunning backdrop for this joyful celebration of new life and cultural exchange.

What To Pack For A School Ski Trip

No comments
If your son or daughter gets the opportunity to go skiing with their primary or secondary school, it is such an amazing opportunity. Some children may already know how to ski whilst this may be the first time for others, either way this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most and if possible not to be missed. However, as a parent we found it quite stressful, knowing exactly what to pack for a weeklong stay. 

a group of adults and children on a ski slope


The first thing you need to remember is when packing for any school trip is that your child will be responsible for carrying, lifting, pushing or pulling their suitcase or bag. Teachers unfortunately can't help every child with their luggage so it's down to each child. 

If your child is flying to their ski resort they will most likely only be allowed 15kg maximum. This is still heavy for little ones to carry. Also most hotels have lifts however we have found in the past that schools prefer the children to use the stairs while transporting their luggage so it's wise to have them practice on stairs at home lifting or pulling up their case. 

So bearing that in mind, it is quite difficult to know exactly what to pack for the ski trip. The school will give you some basic information on what the essentials they need, which I will speak about however, it’s the 'other' clothes and accessories that they may need on their trip that you don’t get much guidance on.

As a parent of a son who went skiing as a year 6 pupil, here is exactly what we packed but I have also added what you may also need for packing for a girl too.

packing a suitcase



We opted for a large holdall bag with wheels* which was recommended to us by a resort volunteer. Also we used packing cubes labelled with what was inside, which we found was so much easier for our son. We showed him exactly what was in each packing cube so he knew exactly what was where. 

For travelling our children where given a red jumper and were asked to wear their ski jacket so no need to pack this.

Also the teachers who were travelling with the children were in receipt of their

1 x sun glasses - Again these must be of a high quality to protect their eyes.

1 x ski gloves

1 x hand warmer gloves - these go inside their ski gloves for extra warmth.

1 x suncream - preferably one that can be worn around the neck so they can reapply when on the slopes

1 x lipsalve - preferably one that can be worn around the neck so they can reapply when on the slopes.

1 x hat - a beanie style hat is preferred as needs to sit inside the helmet. 

1 x neck warmer - these are preferred to scarves.

Other Clothing 

3 x tracksuit bottoms or leggings - plus the pair they travel in.

7 x a mixture of short and long sleeve t-shirts - plus the top they travel in

2 x hoodies, jumpers or tracksuit tops - hotels are usually warm so no need to over pack.

10 x pairs of undies or knickers - 1 for each day plus a few spares.

10 x pairs of socks - 1 for each day plus a few spares.

2 x pyjamas

1 x slippers

Toiletries

Toothpaste

Toothbrush

boy walking through snow



Hand Luggage - We chose a medium sized backpack

This will differ for everyone but our school wanted inside hand luggage

A packed breakfast - our meet time was 4:15am so they ate their breakfast at the airport

A packed lunch - this was so they could eat their lunch before leaving for the resort in Italy

£10 to buy drinks at the airport - as you can't take drinks through security

An empty sports bottle - There are water fountains in most airports

Activities to do on plane coach such as pencils/ paper/ colouring books/ top trumps

A hi vis vest that was given to us by the school

A large trolley bag such as a sports direct bag

A pair of ski socks - this was so they could go straight to their ski boot fitting once at the resort.

This all fitted neatly in his packing cubes and in his large holdall. It was heavy but he could manage it with some effort. 

I've popped a link to the Amazon Basics Packing Cubes*  we used and also Large Holdall With Wheels*

If there is anything I've missed off please feel free to message me and I'll include. If you have a child going on a ski trip I hope they enjoy it and make memories to last a lifetime!

10 Essential Tips for Safeguarding Your Touring Caravan: A Comprehensive Guide to Caravan Insurance

No comments
Disclosure - This is a collaborative post

Touring caravans are a symbol of freedom, allowing you to embark on exciting journeys while carrying the comforts of home with you. However, to fully enjoy the nomadic lifestyle, it's imperative to safeguard your touring caravan against a range of potential risks. This comprehensive guide not only provides you with ten essential tips for securing your mobile haven but also delves into the significance of having the right insurance coverage while also making comparisons with static caravan insurance for a more nuanced understanding.

1. Understanding Your Unique Coverage Needs 

As you begin the process of selecting the most suitable touring caravan insurance, it's crucial to start by comprehending your specific coverage requirements. These needs can vary greatly depending on factors such as the value of your caravan, your travel habits, and the contents you carry within it. Taking these factors into account will help you tailor your insurance policy to your caravan and lifestyle accurately. 

2. Selecting the Appropriate Insurance Type 

Touring caravan insurance typically offers three main categories: fully comprehensive, third-party, fire, and theft, and third-party only. Each type comes with varying levels of coverage. Fully comprehensive insurance stands as the most extensive option, encompassing protection against damage to your caravan, personal belongings, and liability claims. The type of insurance you choose should align with your budget and level of protection needed. 

3. Coverage for Your Belongings 

While focusing on the physical protection of your caravan is paramount, it's equally important not to overlook the valuable contents you carry inside it. Ensure that your insurance policy extends coverage to your personal belongings, including items such as electronics, clothing, and camping gear. This added protection ensures that you are financially secure in the event of theft, damage, or loss of these possessions. 

4. Regular Policy Updates 

Caravans, like any other asset, age over time. Additionally, you might make improvements or upgrades to your caravan. To maintain comprehensive protection, it's essential to update your insurance policy regularly. Neglecting this crucial step could potentially lead to underinsurance, leaving you vulnerable to unforeseen risks. 

5. Investing in Security Measures 

The security of your touring caravan should be a top priority. Enhance its safety by investing in security measures such as wheel clamps, hitch locks, and alarms. Many caravan insurance providers offer discounts for these additional security features, which can also serve as a strong deterrent against theft or vandalism, thereby reducing your insurance premiums. 

6. Examining Policy Exclusions 

It's imperative to thoroughly review your insurance policy to understand any exclusions or limitations. Different policies might have varying terms and conditions. By grasping what circumstances might not be covered, you can take extra precautions if necessary, or even consider supplementary insurance for specific risks that may not be included in your primary policy.

7. Safe Driving and Legal Compliance 

Safe driving practices not only contribute to your well-being and that of other road users but also have a direct impact on your insurance rates. A clean driving record and adherence to traffic laws will not only keep you in good stead with your insurer but also decrease the likelihood of accidents, which could negatively affect your insurance premiums. 

8. Exploring Membership Benefits 

Consider joining caravan clubs or associations as they often provide insurance benefits to their members. Membership perks can include access to exclusive insurance packages with discounted rates. These organisations are also excellent sources of information and support for caravan enthusiasts, enhancing your overall experience. 

9. European Coverage for International Adventures 

If your caravan adventures extend beyond your home country's borders, it's crucial to opt for insurance that offers coverage across Europe. This extension ensures that you remain protected during international travels, including aspects such as legal liabilities and breakdown assistance. It's a necessary addition for those who have their sights set on exploring the continent. 

10. Comparison Shopping for the Best Deal 

While it might be tempting to settle for the first insurance policy you come across, it's advisable to shop around, compare quotes, and thoroughly research insurance providers. Each provider may offer different packages, and their rates can vary significantly. Taking the time to find the best deal that aligns with your touring caravan insurance needs can save you money in the long run. 

Touring Caravan Insurance vs. Static Caravan Insurance: Understanding the Distinctions 

It's essential to distinguish between touring caravan insurance and static caravan insurance. Touring caravan insurance is specifically designed for mobile caravans that frequently hit the road, while static caravan insurance is tailored for caravans that remain stationary, typically situated at caravan parks or holiday sites. The primary difference lies in the mobility of the caravan and the related risks. Static caravan insurance caters to the caravan's stationary use, whereas touring caravan insurance accounts for the travel and transportation-related risks unique to mobile caravans. 

In conclusion, safeguarding your touring caravan is a prudent financial decision and crucial for your peace of mind while exploring the open road. By comprehending your insurance needs and following these ten comprehensive tips, you can embark on your caravan adventures with confidence, knowing that you have taken the necessary steps to protect your investment and yourself. Whether you possess a touring caravan built for the road or a static caravan stationed at a holiday park, the right insurance policy ensures that your cherished getaway remains secure.
