Earlier this month we headed to Wales for 5 nights, to go camping with the kids. We stayed at Erwbarfe Farm near Devil’s Bridge, and enjoyed some typically mixed weather complete with thunderstorms and blazing sunshine! The girls really enjoyed the trip, and the caravan/camping park was really nice – set in beautiful countryside with …
This morning we headed to Barclaycard Arena to see Paw Patrol Live! Race to the Rescue, and the girls were ridiculously excited. Clutching their soft toy pups and wearing their new tour t-shirts, the girls were singing Paw Patrol songs in the car on the way, and generally bursting with anticipation.
We were delighted to be invited to be a blogger ambassador for another year, for the National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham. The girls really enjoy visiting the centre, and they always manage to find something new to exclaim over, as well as revisiting “old friends” each time we go.
We were invited along to the Thinktank at Millenium Point in Birmingham, to check out the *Museum of the Moon* exhibition. We took our friend Detta along as James was at work, and all four of us had a lovely day out together.
Last week we spent a day in the city centre, having lunch with a friend, visiting the Think Tank, and doing a spot of shopping. After lunch we headed to pop up shop Lo and Becold in Link Street, Bullring – for some amazing rolled ice cream! I paid £9.00 and ordered a Batoffee Popcorn …
It’s been a very busy week with the last few days of school, my birthday, some lovely outings and the house in chaos, so it was really nice to escape the craziness for a few hours on Thursday evening to experience some wonderful outdoor theatre at Birmingham Botanical Gardens.
During the half term break (which now seems ages and ages away, not just last month!), we headed to Felixstowe to visit family, and ended up having a really lovely and quite stereotypical British seaside holiday! As well as plenty of family time with James’s Dad and grandmother during the week, we spent loads of …
A few weeks ago we headed to one of our local farms, Lizzie’s Farm, for Open Farm Sunday. We visited a farm last year too, and I think we will be marking Open Farm Sunday in our calendars for next year, too. Once a year farms up and down the country open up their doors …
Earlier this week we were invited along to the VIP launch party of *Dinosaurs in the Wild*, a new interactive experience that is at the NEC in Birmingham for the next two months. It was a great evening, with cocktails, celeb spotting, time travel, and of course dinosaurs!
The Sons of Pitches are one of my favourite singing groups, and some of you may remember them as the winners of a cappella The Naked Choir contest, with Gareth Malone. They are currently on tour around the UK with their newest show, SOPTV, and it is simply marvellous.
