MCR Made Icons at the Manchester Arndale
If you fancy seeing a bit of free public art, head along to the Manchester Arndale Centre some time in the next three weeks to see the MCR Made Icons. These are massive balloons, suspended from the shopping centre's ceilings, depicting various famous Mancunians. All the designs are by Mancunian illustrator Stanley Chow. He's done...

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...

Cliffe Castle Museum and Gardens
On Bank Holiday Monday, we went to Cliffe Castle Museum and Gardens in Keighley, which is about a 40 minute drive due north from where we live in Sowerby Bridge. We'd been to the gardens before on Good Friday in 2024, but the museum itself was closed and so we went to nearby East Riddlesden...

Imperial War Museum North
Last weekend, I took our ten-year-old to the Imperial War Museum North, in Salford Quays. I'm choosing to post about it today, for a reason that will become apparent if you read on.

Biddulph Grange Garden
When I was writing up about our visit to the Plas Cadnant Hidden Garden in July, I realised that I'd forgotten to write about when we went to Biddulph Grange Garden in May. We went there on the May Day Bank Holiday Monday, which also happened to be our wedding anniversary. I assume I had...

On our way back from our holiday in Wales, we stopped off at the RHS Garden Bridgewater to the north of Manchester. We've been several times before, as we had an RHS membership in 2023, but this was my parents' first visit. A quick history of Bridgewater The RHS has a more detailed history of...

Our 2026 holiday: Welsh Mountain Zoo
Our second day out following our trip to the Llechwedd Slate Caverns was to the Welsh Mountain Zoo, located in the hills above Colwyn Bay and just a short drive from where we were staying in Conwy. Despite the name, the Welsh Mountain Zoo isn't atop a mountain; it's actually on a hill that's only...

CSSC – the Civil Service Sports Council
If you work for the Civil Service, armed forces, or a whole range of public sector organisations, then you may be able to join the CSSC, and get access to discounted sports and leisure activities. I joined the CSSC last month, primarily because one of its perks is free entry to all Cadw properties which...

Our 2026 holiday: Llechwedd Slate Caverns
Although we arrived in Wales on the Saturday, we had a slow day on the Sunday with just a little stroll around Conwy (which I wrote about last year). The first big thing we did was head to Zip World in Llechwedd, home to the Llechwedd Slate Caverns. A brief history of the Llechwedd Slate...

RHS Garden Harlow Carr
On Sunday, we took advantage of the lovely weather to visit the RHS Garden at Harlow Carr, near Harrogate. This was my first day out following last month's fall, and was a family occasion as we met up with my parents there. We've been to Harlow Carr before - we had membership of the Royal...
