Random Ramblings :: So what's been occurring over here?

Hi there everyone πŸ˜€

It seems like an age since I’ve had a random ramble so thought I’d just drop by to let you know what’s been occurring over here of late.

It doesn’t actually feel like there has been an awful lot … we’ve had a few Mondays out with mum and Bobby over the summer … which have been just lovely ... just simple stuff, but lovely all the same ...

We’ve been to Chasewater and done some bird and train spotting …

We’ve been back to Beacon Park for a picnic and to check out the crazy golf …


We’ve been to Branston Water Park …


We’ve done a town treasure trail around Tamworth, taking in our castle grounds, which were looking just amazing …
… and we’ve been to a new adventure golf at a local golf club ... where 18 holes may have just been a little tiring for little legs ...
There seem to have been a fair few afternoon teas ...

... with mum at Barton Marina …

With friends at Coombe Abbey ...



… which was very nice indeed …

In the garden … with the whole of the Wakelin family round for a rainy afternoon tea ...
The weather didn't seem to bother the youngest members of the family at all ...

... and a sneaky little mid-week trip out to a local spot with Jackie, Rachel and Erin ...
... who is now walking and is a bit wobbly but very confident and totally fearless ...
Martin’s recently had an op on his ankle so hasn't been out and about much but we did manage a ride out to Cannock Chase on Bank Holiday Monday ... with a very nice lunch thrown in ...

So actually there has probably been a bit more going on than I thought … a fair few get togethers and plenty of food.

Phew ... well done if you stuck with me till the end ... I hope I've not made you feel too hungry πŸ˜‹

It's not long now until we are off on holiday … to Pembrokeshire this time ... so I’m hoping to have plenty to tell you about that very soon πŸ˜€

    1. Thank you … it was only when trawling back through the photos on my phone I realised quite how many simple local days out we’d had. Missing the little man now he’s started school though πŸ˜ƒ

    1. The little people do make you look at the simplest things in a different way don’t they? You forget how much joy and interest there is to be find just by taking time to stop and look properly πŸ˜ƒ

  4. You have made me hungry! Those Afternoon Teas do look amazing. A few years ago I too had Afternoon Tea at Coombe Abbey. It's a beautiful place. X

    1. Coombe Abbey was lovely … not sure I would say the afternoon tea was good value for money but it was all very nice and we did have a lovely afternoon so definitely worth it as a treat πŸ˜ƒ
