Review: Tea with Santa at Wyevale Garden Centre

Going to visit Father Christmas is something of a rite of passage for all children. Most years we visit Father Christmas at the same place, the Ice Palace outside the Mall at Cribbs Causeway. This year however, Wyevale Garden Centres at Cadbury invited us to have breakfast or tea with Santa. As the garden centre is about 30 minute drive from us, I chose to go along for tea. The garden centre itself was easy to find and the car… Continue Reading “Review: Tea with Santa at Wyevale Garden Centre”

Review: Bristol Zoo Gardens Dinomania

Mucking Around {The Ordinary Moments ~ 17}

There are times when you can see something happening, something you think would be nice to have a record of, and you just start taking pictures and hope for the best. On Friday afternoon I was working in the bedroom and I heard laughter. Lots of giggles and laughter. I wandered into the lounge and saw the husband and Cheeky Chap mucking around together. They were having so much fun and it really made me smile. So, I quickly grabbed… Continue Reading “Mucking Around {The Ordinary Moments ~ 17}”
