Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
To be honest, I think it was crazy to go to such a cold place when the weather outside was so lovely and warm. We had booked a mini tubing at SnowDome Tamworth for both of my children and friends. It was a bargain as we only paid half price for both children. Under a tenner!
Both of my children are massive Peppa Pig fans and so we decided to book a weekend away to Peppa Pig World with four close friends and their kids. After a 3 hour drive to Paultons Park, both children were so tired that they fell asleep. We were there around 9.30 am and half of the main car park was full! Packed with lots of eager children wearing Peppa Pig clothing and holding their favourite Peppa Pig toys waiting in the queue. The gate opened around 9.50 am and once we are in the park, we had to wait for another 10 minutes to get into the Peppa World.
Today, we went out to Revenhill Park and had a brilliant time. They have a children’s play area, seating and a large filtered paddling pool! At the back of the park, there is a free parking lot. If you need any drinks or food, Co-op is just over the road or after 1 pm the parish hall have drink and food on sale. Post office and cash machine are located next to Co-op too. Be careful while you drive as there were a lot of speed cameras.
Hot, hot, hot! Unbelievable that the weather has just switched to Summer from all that rain! The weather was so nice today that we even walked into the town. Mr K had his bicycle while Ms C was in her pram. We went to the Nature Craft Family Day organised by the Lichfield District Council.It was for the children and parents to learn how to make a fish and bird feeder by using twigs, strings and all sorts of beads. It was a brilliant idea!
Ms C was not too interested in crafts and didn’t manage to sit through. She was more interested to feed the ducks at the pool than anything else. Mr K managed a bit longer but needed a lot of help from me.
These were the things what we made:
Today, yet again a wet wet day! We were definitely not dressed appropriately for the wet weather for his pre-school leaving do at Birches Valley Forest Centre. Mr K didn’t want to wear his wellies and he wore shorts! It is summer but not summer weather.
Ready, get set, go! The first thing you see as you walk to the park is the the world record breaking Lego tower that they had built between 3 – 8 July 2012. It was amazing to see the result of hard work many people had put in to build this tower.
After months of hassling from my son, we had finally save enough Tesco Clubcard points to purchase tickets. The park also has a Fun Day Friday – by wearing yellow, each ticket costs only £10. Okay, so I had to force Ms C to wear a yellow shirt on top of her Peppa Pig dress. But she did wear it.

June is always associated with Wimbledon, Strawberries and of course Summer! It is the start of the fruit picking season and HAY FEVER! Last week, we went to Manor Farm Pick Your Own (PYO) at Tamworth and picked strawberries and gooseberries. As for the rest of the fruits like Blackberries, Blackcurrants, Redcurrants, Tayberries and Loganberries, these should be ready around end of June.
