It’s the time of year for pumpkins and ghouls, so to be seasonal here’s a list of some Halloween themed days out and activities that have come to my attention. I always feel the need to do something pumpkiny around this time of year before the leaf-kicking walks really kick…
We went on our first ever trip to Tayto Park last week. The kids had it on their list of places to go last summer and again this year, but between one thing and another we didn’t get there, so we surprised them with a trip on Sunday morning. I had…
Travel and adventure starts at home, so last week I brought the boys (in fact, the extended family) to visit the main attraction in my home village, a place I worked for a month on a student job scheme in the 1990’s. Duncannon Fort is tucked in a prime position…
I spent the weekend before last on a little island. A real-life island, in a lake, in Co. Fermanagh. It was bliss. Let me tell you about it. On Saturday morning Google Maps told me I’d be driving for 3.5 hours to get to my destination- Fermanagh and Wexford are a…

We spend several weekends every year visiting Granny in Sligo. We’re creatures of habit and the very long journey means that we don’t tend to venture too far, the dunes in Strandhill are usually the height of our exploration (and worth a visit). On our most recent visit I was…
We drive through Enniscorthy a lot on the way to Granny’s but we never stop, so the kids think that all that’s there is the two bridges and the shops in between them. I’m determined to see more local attractions this summer so we decided to visit Enniscorthy Castle today.…
It might be Baltic out but it’s still the May Bank Holiday weekend, and judging by the traffic on the n11 tonight you must all have come to lovely Wexford for the weekend. If you have here’s a few things to do: Wells House have a Knights and Princesses Party…
