We are some of the fortunate ones to live in Bournemouth. With an award winning sea on one side of the town and a brilliant forest on the other, it's easy to see why it's such a fantastic tourist destination all year round. But whilst there are lots of chain restaurants and obvious things to do for families, we wanted to showcase some of the ways we love to enjoy a day together in our hometown. For those coming further afield, there are plenty of hotels in Bournemouth to suit everyone's budgets. But here's what we got up to during one day in Bournemouth.

With weight dropping off me finally, I wanted to put together a list of ways that we can all live a slightly healthier lifestyle.
