Earlier in the year my very clever husband won the LateRooms.com 52 sleeps competition where you had to send in a photo or video of yourself asleep to celebrate the release of their brilliant ebook called 52 Sleeps. The ebook features 52 of the most special and unique places to stay in the UK - one for every week of the year. The prize was to win a night at each of these places.
Richard put together a video of him having (not quite) 52 Sleeps in various poses designed to reflect some of the cool and quirky names of the places featured in the 52 sleeps ebook. The ebook features places with interesting names like The Chocolate Boutique, Crazy Bear, Wizards Thatch, and The Joker Boat.
Here is Richard's video which won:
We had an awesome time and visited places that we would never have thought of going to if it wasn't for Laterooms.com.
We have not been asked to share our experience but as it was our main holiday for this year and the longest we've been away from home in over a decade, we made diary-style notes on our travels and took hundreds of photos so we are going to be capturing some of those memories on our blog.
Here's a summary video to give a little taste of what's to come on the blog in the coming weeks as I get the chance to sort out our photos and upload them.
What an amazing competition to win and what a prize! Great video too, I love entering creative competitions.

DeleteGreat competition prize and well done for winning. How did you find Liverpool? (My home) x
ReplyDeleteWe loved all the places we visited. We'd never have thought of going to liverpool but it was great. We were right in the heart of the Albert Docks and staying on a boat! Loved the museums and history in that area. x
DeleteOh wow what an amazing holiday Rebecca, so glad you got to spend all that time away together. Mich x
ReplyDeletethanks Mich. I'm so relieved that it all went well as travelling lots and lots of change can be so hard for the kids. They all did remarkably well. x
DeleteThis looks fantastic (and I love your husband's video). Great prize to win and so glad it worked out with the kids too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. Yes it was brilliant and the kids were great (on the whole!) x
