Hello again lovely blogger people,
I AM SO EXCITED! Last Sunday, we booked our family holiday! I mentioned in a previous blog 'Twin beans and fun mum things' that we were going back to Great-Yarmouth in Norfolk this year.. I lied! We're going to Filey Bay, in Yorkshire! I'm finding it really hard to contain my excitement. A whole week of sun, sand and the moors in moody Yorkshire with my husband-to-be, children and in-laws.
Filey Bay is really close to Scarborough, and only an hours drive from Lincoln. So I'm planning day trips to both! I love Lincoln, and had always planned to go to Uni there, plans changed with the arrival of not one, but TWO BABIES! But my love for Lincoln remains strong. I'm pulled towards anything historical, and a mot and bailey castle with a cathedral across the yard is just too much for me to bear. Especially as Lincoln Castle, has been a Castle, Prison and is now a museum as well as having Lincoln Crown Court in the grounds. *If you're a Downton Abbey fan this is where they shot the prison scenes in Season 3.*
My other halves last name is Cobb, and so are my childrens. Incidentally there is a tower at Lincoln Castle called 'Cobb Hall' it's actually the tower where people used to be executed and was used to protect the castle when it came under siege. A 'Cobb' is actually a large steel amulet that is placed into a Cannon and fired out. Little history lesson for you all!
So now I've finished going off on one about Lincoln. I can talk a little bit about Filey Bay. We're staying at a 'Haven' site if you're english you will know what this is. For anyone who isn't it's a static caravan park, and there are hundreds across the U.K in different holiday destinations. The park itself is right on the beach, which is stunning and surrounded by cliffs and moody moors. I love these kind of holidays, and I think they are brilliant if like us you have a family and can't afford or just generally don't want to go abroad.
I can already tell it's going to be an amazing week. Although I am a little bit iffy about taking the twins away from home for so long, the longest they have ever been away is 5days and they were pretty terrible at times. If anyone has any tips for taking toddlers on holiday.. then please do tell! If you're planning a holiday this year for you and your family. Let me know! We can talk parenting tactics!
If you're from the U.K and have never been to a Haven site, I do recommend them. If like me you're on a budget and love a good bargain, Haven is pretty perfect. With 4day holidays starting at around £130 per caravan and most can sleep upto 6. They are self catering, but all sites feature restaurants, take aways and a shop.
I really hope you enjoyed reading yet another rambly blog, I feel they will never have any kind of structure! As always thankyou for reading. Please feel free to +1, share and comment!
Until next time,
'The Average Mum' x
