Today we had to travel to Nottingham to pick up a new train track for Will that we won on ebay. It's a long trip for two little ones, so we took our time and broke it up. We stopped to look at a canal, and a park, some windmills and for lunch and a run around in a play barn. Once we had the track we stopped in on some friends and spent a lovely afternoon playing with them and going for a walk. Unfortunately both kids fell asleep in the car for a lot longer th...

We scored some free tickets to Woburn safari park this week, that had to be used before new years, so we decided to go today. We had a great time, despite appalling weather, because there's loads to do inside and out. In fact, despite being there the entire day (seriously, we were the last car to leave and the ranger had to kick us out!) we didn't get around everything. Lila's favourites were no surprise - anything fluffy which could be petted. Weirdly she wa...

Its the end of term and nearly Christmas, so Matt decided to surprise me with a wonderful trip to Bath! I've only been to Bath as a teenager, for festivals, and it was hardly the same experience!!! The plan was to go to the Christmas market, but unfortunately it was finished. That did, however, mean that we had more time for other things. We started out with some Christmas shopping and a look at the beautiful parade gardens. Then we went to 'Couer de Lion' for...

We've had a great weekend away with family and good friends, staying in log cabins in the Forest of Dean. Our cabin had our family, Mamie, Ruby, Christine, Riikka, Adam, Daniel and Aaron in it. The other cabins included Chris, Mel, Tia, Rebeckah, Samuel, Richard, Jayne, Sheila, Ged, Les, Janice, Mum and Dad. The weekends antics included plenty of swimming, softplay, adventure park and walks. Unfortunately it also included plenty of vomiting and diahorrea ...

Today we went to wicksteed park in kettering. It was awesome. What we really need to do though, is go with two adults, or less children (Matt was working) there were so many great things to do for Will, but Elisha was too small and I couldn't leave her to take him. We did however, go on a train ride, which is apparently the longest narrowline train track left in the UK. There's lots to play with, but we just played on the free equipment. Still totally worth it...
