A day out at Barton Marina

Recently, I wrote a local guide for Lichfield for tots100 – if you have not seen it, click here.  Barton Marina is one of the places I mentioned.  It is a unique Trent & Mersey canal-side attraction with fantastic cafés and restaurants, shopping and fabulous walks around the beautiful lakes and woodlands.  We love to take our children there for a bike ride around the lakes and to eat ice cream.

Yesterday, we had our photo shoot to update our blog photo with our regular photographer – Susannah Conway Photography.  I am so excited that I can’t wait to update it soon!  After that, we drove down to Barton Marina for Thai food!  It had been a long time since we last ate Thai food!  They had a buffet menu and there was a good selection of foods.  It was very delicious and I would recommend going again.

Schleich Dragon & Griffin Knights

Last week, we went to Warwick Castle to meet Mike the Knight and bought our six Schleich Dragon & Griffin Knights with us. Come and follow our adventure! Once upon a time, there were two warring teams of knights, the Griffin team and the Dragon team.  One day, they were teleported to a mystical land called Warwick and their only hope of returning home was to climb the mound to shoot the troll who lives in the church. But first they must battle each other…

Lichfield Bower 2013

Lichfield Bower is the oldest traditional festival held every spring bank holiday.  It is about 800 years old.  This year it was held on 27 May 2013.  We have been living in Lichfield for five years and unfortunately have always missed it due to going away each time.  This year, we made an effort not to miss this specular festival.

Sealife Centre – SpongeBob Squarepants 4-D Premiere Event

Last week, we entered the National Sealife Centre Facebook competition and we won family tickets to attend the SpongeBob Squarepants 4-D Premier Event. I was so excited! We were late and missed part of the VIP tour. Luckily, we caught them in time before they shut the main door. We walked around the designated route and saw a lot of different types of sea creatures. It was excellent. Both of my children will amazed by it all. Soon we reached the 4D cinema, and we donned the 3D glasses. The show is about 8 minutes long which I think it is a good length. If it was too long, I tend to get headaches from using the glasses or the children might not able to cope. It was quite a big cinema room with a lot of seating. The seats are big and comfortable. In no time, the show started.

A day trip to Legoland Windsor

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.
