Review: FriendsFest 2018 – Fraser’s Fun House
Back in the 90’s my Friday Evening plans consisted of a large bowl of Haagen Dazs and a date with six New York singleton’s. Week in, week out, I ensured my diary remained clear so that I could be comfortably ensconced on the sofa and tuned into Friends on Channel 4, heaven forbid I should…

Days Out: Aira Force Waterfall Walk, Ullswater – Fraser’s Fun House
I believe my home county of Cumbria is one of the most beautiful places to live and since the Lake District was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status back in July last year, joining such places as the Taj Mahal and the Grand Canyon, it seems that I’m not the only one who thinks so. Cumbria…

Santa’s Christmas Wish – Fraser’s Fun House
There’s nothing better over the festive period than going to see a show or Panto with the family to get into the mood, however with Leo having only just turned four I was reluctant to book our local regional pantomime as I know from experience that it is rather long-winded! I was therefore delighted when…

Cumbrian Christmas – Hayes Garden World! – Fraser’s Fun House
A mere stone’s throw from Lake Windermere in the small picturesque town of Ambleside is Hayes Garden World, which you could be forgiven for driving past not giving it a second glance. Its façade isn’t particularly impressive, nor does it appear very big, but this is certainly not your average garden centre by a long…

Gruffalo hunting in Whinlatter Forest, Keswick – Fraser’s Fun House
I'm sure that telling many children they were going to spend the day in the forest away from the television / computer/ Wifi would go down like a lead balloon, however after a visit to Whinlatter I’m sure they will come away feeling differently. There is something for every one of all ages here from…
