This was a quieter day but still so much fun because we started by getting a stunning aerial view of Weymouth from the Sealife Tower. That really gave us a perspective of the town and beautiful start to the day. Then we just found a great spot on the beach, chilled out and played. The fun came in a very simple …
Swans and beaches: holiday adventures in Weymouth
I didn’t realise how special this day would be until we met the swans. I’m used to seeing them as one or two togethers, occasionally a small family group but never in large flocks and never up really close. At Abbotsbury you get a truly unique experience seeing Swans up close and personal just wandering around in an environment where …

Can kids move while watching tv? #sundayphoto
I want my little one to move regularly because it’s good for him. Right now it looks like he’s just watching tv. He is but he’s also actively balancing on my knee while he uses me as his gym. Balancing is a subtle but powerful form of movement. It develops coordination which prevents falls among other things. At the …
Can you really clear a foggy holiday head playing hide and seek and snacking on fruit?
Yesterday we spent our first family day gaming because our little one got his first console game and it was fantastic. We couldn’t believe how quickly he picks it all up and boy did we have fun. As a health coach I should be all about moving all the time and eating veggies every second right. Well… That’s kinda …

More treasure
Carrying on from yesterday’s theme I found these wonderful memories with my son and the treasure we found when out Christmas shopping. The steps and fitness stats aren’t epic but remember this was just an average Sunday doing chores and the Fitbit can only show part of the health story. Much gets missed and can’t be recorded yet. A big …

So I get to shop in the English country side. This time of year it’s more about Christmas fayres and the …
