Same beach, same boards and five years of life in Same beach, same boards and five years of life in between. 

Our much loved paddle boards came all the way to Oman and back with us. 

But I’ll be honest, it was a slog to get them out there because it was so blinking hot. 

We’re looking forward to using them more over the summer in sunny and hopefully less sweltering Devon.

Send me your favourite paddle spots!

Does anyone else feel like they’re quick stepping Does anyone else feel like they’re quick stepping towards the holidays? 

The girls have been busy at school with end of year trips and play practice.

Note to self 1: must organise an elephant costume.

Mr Tin Box has been international for work (and brought back a nice cold as a souvenir).

And I’ve been switching between days of pure focus on blogs and newsletters to social secretarying for the 11-year-old.

Yesterday I stepped off the dance floor for a day in London with a catch up with some of my friends met in Oman. There’s nothing like debrief with other ladies juggling all the balls.

Note to self 2: committing to daytime wine in the capital and travelling to Devon for the weekend in the same 10 hours isn’t as easy as it was in your 20s 🤣

We’ve been living part-time on the Oxfordshire/Wil We’ve been living part-time on the Oxfordshire/Wiltshire border for nearly a year now, exploring when we have spare moments between work, school and weekends in Devon.

A full blog post on what we’ve been up to here is well overdue. But while I get my writing chops around that, here’s somewhere we visited this weekend: Butterfly World & Farm Park at Sudley Grange near Swindon.

WHAT’S TO DO

Spend an hour or so meeting the mammals, birds, insects and reptiles at this small, no frills zoo and farm attraction that comes with a garden centre, soft play and craft workshops (extra charge for those last two). 

There’s a surprising number of animals at this small attraction. We saw plenty of this Spring’s babies too from meerkat kittens to kid goats.

The lizards and snakes were a highlight for our reptile-loving 11-year-old but she was also keen on adopting the otters and rabbits. 

THE DAMAGE

Family tickets: £28 (2 adults and 2 children or 1 adult and 3 children)

EXTRAS

Complete your trip with a visit to one of Sudley Grange’s restaurants for toasties, jackets or pasty meals or a generous slab of cake. We paid £38 for three cold drinks and three main meals.

If you’ve been following me since the beginning yo If you’ve been following me since the beginning you’ll know that Tin Box Traveller started out as a caravanning blog. 

Since then we’ve camped, paddled, holidayed in Europe, moved to Oman and come all the way back again. 

I’d like to think the golden thread through it all is a love of outdoor adventures. That’s why we embraced camping in Oman.

But how did it compare to the UK?

It’s been a half term of much needed (and some day It’s been a half term of much needed (and some days a little too much) sunshine with my babes.

We’ve done our usual 2026 flit between Oxfordshire and Devon, making the most of being co-located. 

Oxfordshire was all about family time with visiting grandparents and cousins. I had intended to be a bit more adventurous in Devon but being beside the sea was entertainment enough.

We’re now on the downhill roll towards summer and this last half term looks as busy as the first back in September. There’s school events aplenty!

Mr Tin Box is also maxed out with work trips so I think we’ll all be ‘crashing out’ (the girls’ current favourite phrase) by the summer holidays.

But for now I’m preparing myself for the M5 north before the final seven weeks of school runs!

Starting this week, I’m catching everyone up on our whirlwind few years – moving to Oman, exploring Western and Southeast Asia, then moving back to the UK. 

Now we’re settled in Oxfordshire (ish – we escape to Devon as often as possible) and I’m ready to share all the stories I’ve been banking.
