I love the summer holidays even if they aren’t always sunny. August was a bit mixed in terms of the weather but that didn’t stop us enjoying our family travels and, thankfully, the month ended on a sunny note. In fact, the August Bank Holiday weekend was the hottest on record in the UK. It’s…
As I look out of my window while writing this post, it’s raining. Hardly weather for the height of the British summer?! It’s got me feeling a bit pessimistic as I think ahead to our staycation in the UK, during which we’ll be visiting three counties in our caravan. However, a quick scan through my…
June was a big month for Tin Box family adventures, brimming with fun, travels and days out. Now that we are half way through the year I’m thankful that I’ve taken the time to write monthly round-ups. I think so many of the small details would get lost in the general mayhem of family life…
As well as writing my own family travel blog I have the pleasure of reading a fair few as well. There’s such a great variety of travel bloggers in the UK that whether you’re looking for family holiday inspiration in the countryside, a weekend city break or a villa vacation in the sun there’s a…

After a relatively quiet February, March saw us back out on the road having a lot of family adventures. This is one of the reasons why I’m a few days *cough*, OK more than a week late with my monthly round up. But when travel is to blame I think I can grin and bear…
There’s nothing I love more than heading off on a new adventure. But sometimes it’s good to be at home, reflect, enjoy each other’s company and to plan for future trips. That’s what February was all about. We didn’t travel (well, not as a family) but I still have lots of fond memories and feel…
When I started writing Tin Box Traveller, one of the first blog linkys I came across was #CountryKids run by Fiona at Coombe Mill in Cornwall. A linky is a place where bloggers share their posts with people who have similar interests. I run the Monday Escapes linky with fellow travel bloggers Extraordinary Chaos, Mini…
It’s incredible to think we’re already one month into 2017. The eagle-eyed among my readers will have noticed I skipped this regular feature in December in order to share a round up of the year. I’m very pleased to be back into the routine of recording our travels and adventures. This will be a bumper…
