Hi all knowing forumites!


As a new driver I'm looking for places i can drive to for a day out which aren't too far away, but are far away enough if you know what I mean? Where can we go this weekend that's maybe an hour or so drive away and is a nice day out for us with an 18 month old? Also, looking for ideas for places to take my 6 and 4 year old nephews in a couple of weeks. Open to all suggestions! Beach, forests, nice country pubs with a garden for the kids, castles...

Hope you can point me in the right direction!

Not great with specifics but recommend heading out of town towards Kent as the journey is usually quite straight forward and traffic free. We went camping near tunbridge wells and the countryside there is beautiful. Similarly we have also had nice days in West Sussex, Arundel castle and lots of nice local attractions! Or you could try Hampton Court for a fairly short journey and lots for kids to do there, then maybe Richmond Park or Kew Gardens if the weather is nice!

Hi


If you want a nice beach, but not seafront, just calming waves try the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. It is small but is is great for the kids and to be honest it is so easy to get too.


Just went to Sheerness this weekend they have really gone all out and have an amusement park all set up.


Do not worry though all amenities are available as the Tesco is just next door. All in all I found this as a really nice family day out!


Thanks

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
