Enjoying life, sharing challenges, fun in the outdoors and exploring beautiful Britain.
This Saturday we jumped ahead a little way in the alphabet for our W date. We visited Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire to see the animals. On first entry we were greeted with kiddy rides, pop music and dancing animals (people in costumes) on stage, which wasn't quite what we were expecting! Fortunately the experience …
This weekend was time for #photoanhour day for March. I started my day at 8am with a quiet cup of coffee and a flick through my favourite magazine. 9am: breakfast time! Planning our day, we were off to the zoo! 10am: on our way, driving along the M4. 11am: we’d arrived at Paradise Wildife Park …
Sunday evening, telly on, time to look back at the week with Sunday Sevens. It's been a fairly quiet week, here's what I've been up to. I'm trying to vary our meals at the moment, it's so easy just to repeat the same familiar recipes. This week I've tried out two new meals, and they …
February felt like a colder, wetter, stormier month than January, but it was still a good month. At the beginning of the month, I wrote a "could do" list, things to add fun and joy to the month. I made marmalade, bittersweet and delicious on morning toast. I've loved watching flowers starting to emerge, walking …
This weekend we had our "I" date. We are lucky to have a local business "Delights of Italy", who sell delicious Italian products and beautiful homewares. They also offer cookery workshops, where you can learn to make pasta and pizza. For this date, we visited their premises on a sunny Saturday lunchtime for a pizza …
A couple of weeks ago now we had our "K" date at the wonderful Kew Gardens. The gardens are one of my favourite places, they are a joy to visit all year round, a real oasis of calm and beauty in West London. For our date, I'd bought tickets for Kew Lates, part of the …
For our "F" alphabet date it had to be Falconry. We both love birds of prey and have been on birds of prey handling experiences before. Now, strictly this was not falconry, as we were not hunting with the birds of prey, but it was at a Falconry centre and we met falcons, so I …
Our J date was a weeknight date at home on Valentine's Day and involved a lot of delicious sushi. For our alphabet date J was for Japanese! And we didn't just eat sushi. We also had Japanese soft drinks and beer. The beer was a white beer, refreshing and tasty. I love the owl on …
At the beginning of the year I set myself some challenges. I've already written a post on how I'm getting on with my #walk1000miles challenge here. I walked 85.11 miles in January and am on track to walk 1000 miles in 2017. What of my other challenges? #my200birdyear I'm taking part in #my200birdyear and am realising …
The forecast for today looked pretty miserable so we decided to complete one of our indoor dates. The forecast was wrong, it was a beautiful day, but we enjoyed our visit to the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading and the Spring like weather meant we could enjoy the museum garden too. The Museum …
