Powys Castle
We spent a nice day at Powys Castle on Friday. Probably the best National Trust property we have visited so far. There isn’t much I can say about it other than the fact that the gardens were impressive, as was the castle itself. Here are some of the many photos:
Hotel in Wrexham
As part of our couple of days away, after a day at the Blue Planet we stayed in the Premier Inn Wrexham. Although close to Wrexham it is a little way out of the town and felt nice. It was never going to be a luxury night away but it was perfect for us. Cheaper...
The Blue Planet
Unusually for us we decided to conform to the norm and have a couple of days away during a Bank Holiday weekend! We drove up to the Blue Planet in Liverpool on Friday morning. Morgan’s travel sickness seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds so it took a little longer and quite a...
Cotswold Water Park – Somerford Keynes
After a busy day on Saturday, the plan for Sunday was a day by the lakeside at the Cotswold Water Park. Thankfully the weather co-operated and we had what was probably the best day so far of the summer with temperatures at around 30ºC and glorious sunshine. A little too hot really, but we are...
Newark Park
We’ve just got back from a busy weekend. We drove to my parents house in South Gloucestershire on Friday evening. Saturday was then spent first taking my car to a garage in Dursley. Mitsubishi had recalled all cars like mine to have a part exchanged so as they were doing it for free in it...
Extreme Coastal Gardening
All gardens have a unique set of parameters that will determine whether or not a particular plant will thrive, merely survive or perish. Most of these, such as the amount of sunlight, soil type and drainage are fairly obvious and well documented. Other equally important parameters include the amount of time, energy and money you...
A Day out at Ynyslas
I keep saying that it is all too easy to take what you have around you for granted and not make the most of it. So, to make sure didn’t fall into this trap we joined the holiday-makers and had a nice day out at the beach last weekend. Actually we beat them to it...
Anniversary Day Out – Honey Farm
It was our wedding anniversary on Thursday so although we felt a little guilty about it we sent Morgan off to nursery as usual and had a day out together. Typically I had come down with the dreaded lurgy the night before so wasn’t feeling great and the weather didn’t look too good to start...
Sailing at Axbridge Reservoir
We’ve just got back from a nice weekend away visiting family in the South West. We went this weekend as there was a windsurf demo day at Axbridge Reservoir. Although this isn’t the sort of place I would normally windsurf my brother moors his boat there so we though it would be nice to meet...
