36 on the Quay Restaurant Emsworth.... Date Night!

Date night at 36 on the Quay Restaurant with rooms, Emsworth on the south coast. We had the weekend off! Aunty had offered to have the kids so Sam and I made the most of a great groupon offer (love the bargains) and booked a night and dinner at 36 on the quay. It's a restaurant (as the name suggests right by the Quay) with rooms upstairs and cottages across the road. We stayed in the cosy Cardamon cottage (38) it's all set up for self catering but we only used the coffee facilities... ohh and the wine glasses and bottle opener! Our deal included the 5 course taster menu, the warm bread was devine and as always we had to stop ourselves filling up on that before the "real" food came along. Beef course was our favourite! 

If you haven't visited Emsworth it's a great litlle spot for a weekend away, easy coastal walks and some nice shops, pubs and cafes to wander round. Farmers market on the Sunday....pies were great! 

Nice walk along the coastline topped off with a few glasses of wine and a 5 course tasting menu.... not a bad way to spend a day! 



The cafe in the vlog was Driftwood and all the shops we visited are just along the high street minutes walk from the cottage. As is the bakery

RAF MUSEUM LONDON - DAY OUT | twoplustwocrew

We had a great day out at the RAF museum in Hendon London, this place is off the usual London museum route but well worth the effort. It's massive! and free. We were there from 10-4 and there was still more to see. It's not just RAF fighters, there are a few simulator rides (you do have to pay for these) and some planes you can get in and walk through. We were worried that there would be enough to keep Tabitha our 9 year old interested but she was fine there were enough interactive activities to keep her involved. We all found the old movies interesting and informative, it felt like we were on a day out but doing a little sneaky homework at the same time.  Oscar 12 is pretty keen on anything that flies, if it has machine guns even better! So he was in his element having flown lots of theses planes on his flight simulator. The cafe in the main hangar is great you get to eat lunch surrounded by some great old planes, you can relax over a latte while the kids explore close by. Plenty of area outside to have a picnic if you are saving pennies!. Car parking onsite was £4.00 for 6 hrs but there were some parks on the street when we first arrived. We visited on a Sunday and wSam thought the gift shop was really good quality gifts and not too expensive, loved the kids romper suits 100% thick cotton with a lovely designer plane print for £12.99 (sorry forgot to take a pic!) If you are looking for a great day out in the London area this place is definitely worth a look.

FANTASTIC BURGERS & ICE CREAM ! CANNES vlog 6| twoplustwocrew family vloggers

More summer holiday fun in Cannes. Kids had the choice of where to have lunch one day .... surprisingly (not) they choose burgers and ice cream! So we had our first steak n shake. It's an American burger chain in France. The intricacies of French cuisine did't seem to interest the little sprouts.  To be fair the Burgers were actually really good and the oreo milkshake was pretty much a meal in itself, everyone struggled to suck it up through the straws . There was a big glass window so you can get your taste buds going as you watch your burger being prepped and at the same time get in the way of the waiting staff! Seats were mostly taken so we wondered across the street to the fountain and people watched as we had our lunch. As we all know there is always room for ice cream so we headed over to an ice cream & sorbet shop we had spotted on the walk down. This place is amazing (Amorino) you pick the ice cream or sorbets you want and they turn it in to a piece of floral ice cream art! Wasn't cheap but actually tasted of what it was supposed to, lemon and mango were magic on a hot day.  Watch our vlog below and if your in Cannes with the kids the steak n shake Amorino combo highly recommended to keep the juniors happy. Still more of our French holiday vlogs coming so subscribe and get them as we upload them.

SWIMMING IN CANNES SOUTH OF FRANCE | twoplustwocrew

Summer holiday Cannes south of France. after a long haul overnight drive down from Cherbourg we found the apartment at 4am. Laid back morning for us all as we needed a a bit of down time. This is the Lux part of the trip after this it's camping in our bargain £12.00 asda tents! Andrew went hunting and gathering, became a little obsessed about rotisserie chicken and rose... at 10am. Later on we took a drive to find a nice spot to swim (the main beaches were packed!) Found a lovely calanque about 30 mins south of Cannes, the coast road D6098 that runs along the cliffs is worth the drive, great scenery looking out over the French riviera . We found a car park on the side of the road clambered down a track and found a beautiful spot on the rocks. Little bit of Middle eastern dance music provided courtesy of the super yacht moored just of the beach.



Great summer holiday in France lots more blogs and blogs to come!

NORWAY - KLATRESKOGEN high wire park ropes course | twoplustwocrew

Adrenalin fuelled day out at Klatreskogen rope course in the trees at Evje in southern Norway.  This place is a blast, loads of rope activities 4 massive zip wires the longest is 200m. It took Oscar and I 2 1/2hrs to get round the grand park course. The zip wires that span out over the lake were amazing. The activities are not super high up in the trees, think max 8m so not super scary height wise but still a buzz when you are trying to cross wobbling logs etc. You need to be 140cm for the grand course but there is also a junior course that you only need to be over 100cm to do. If you are heading to southern Norway would definitely look it up.

French family holiday, our villa

The villa we are staying at, 3 mins out of Aubagne, lovely quiet spot under a mountain, massive fully fenced garden comes with pool two cats and kora (superglue) the dog. Set back from the road it is a massive older style Provence home. Great outdoor eating area and loads of spots to sit under the trees and read your books.... I managed 4 pages before I fell asleep. 

Made it to the Eurostar - Trip to Marseille

Bus on time London traffic wasn't to bad. On board loo was!  Now after a dash across London and some serious queuing to get passports checked. We are all aboard, the sandwich suitcase has already been attacked, now only weighs 10kgs. Oscars revision backpack on the other hand feels like it has the entire school library inside. Paris next!
