  • Lazy Tintern Days

    Thursday 1st August 2013 While the children slept, and Leigh knitted, Daddy drove from Cardiff to Monmouthshire (passing briefly out of Wales and then back in again) to take everyone to Tintern. Tintern, famed for its Abbey, is a delightful small town, but Daddy wasn’t here to see the wonderful ruin but to take everyone…

  • Whotastic

    Thursday 1st August 2013 This is the first real day of our weeklong break with Great Nan in Wales. Today Daddy Keating wanted to try and get into the Dr Who Experience once again. So with little fanfare everyone was bundled into the car and we went to Cardiff. The parking was easy enough and…

  • Bottle Vader

    Mum: What are you doing? Ben: I am singing with Darth Vader. Who is Darth Vader? Well in this particular case it was the bottle of water, also known as Vader.

  • Ravenglass to Eskdale

    Saturday, 27th July 2013 Once again we travelled to Skiddaw and the beautiful hall where Jane was staying to collect her for a full day of holiday with the Family Keating.

  • La La Legoland

  • Ullswater Steamers

    Saturday, 20th July 2013 Today we once again bounced (such a lovely term whereas it means that Daddy drove us into the lake district in the beloved workhorse, Korra) to the north lakes and the Eden valley. Our destination was weather dependent and would either be the always charming Rhegged Centre or Ullswater for a…

  • Whitehaven Wandering

    Wednesday, 24th July 2013 In the afternoon, after we had dropped Jane at Cockermouth, we went with Jess and James into Cockermouth for a short lunch before a travel to the Cumbria coastline. In Cockermouth we found a small music shop where we purchased a cheap Yukelele for Benjamin as he keeps on wanting to…

  • Derwent Water

    Wednesday 24th July Today the family Keating travelled to Keswick to meet with Jane who was staying a week near Skiddaw. We kidnapped her from the lovely Ormathwaite Hall where she was staying (which had a lovely view over Borrowdale) and headed into Keswick for the morning. Borrowdale is such a strong Tolkien-esque name, you…
