Vicky So here we are, starting a travel blog to work alongside my other blog www.beingtillysmummy.co.uk. Travel is important to us as a family and I believe that children learn a lot from travelling. It is so important for their life experiences, and they learn more than being in a classroom and learning about places. Yes, I do disagree with school fines, yet I see why they are in place. My philosophy is that if you can only afford a holiday in term time, then just pay the fine.
The fine is still a great deal cheaper than booking a holiday during school breaks. But saying that, I don’t take holidays in the school term because you can get a cheap one by looking online yourself. And that is what brings us to this blog, I am taking Tilly Inter-railing in the summer and we will be getting to quite a few places at the fraction of the price of a holiday booked through a travel agent. Another reason for choosing now to travel is that I am 44 this year and Tilly is 6 so If I don’t do it now, then we will never do it because by the time Tilly is a teenager she won’t want to be going back packing with her 50 something mother.
We have had a tough year as a family and I am hoping to use this as a kind of therapy for her too. In reality She will probably want to come home after a week hahaha.
I will cover all sorts of travel on here as well as days out, so hopefully, you will stick with us and follow as we travel.
