Top Pets To Own If You Have A Busy Lifestyle

If you have been longing for a pet but have a busy lifestyle then you may have been put off from getting one. However, there are a few pets that you can own that require very little input from yourself. These animals will be perfectly fine if you are at the office all day and only home in the evenings.

A Day at Wicksteed Park

If you are looking to do something fun this summer with children in the East Midlands, then you must visit Wicksteed Park which is located in Kettering! Wicksteed Park is not only a fun amusement park, but they also offer caravan and camping facilities on 16 acres (6.5 ha) of land right in the heart of the park. This park is packed with a mixture of traditional attractions and modern-day play equipment!

Magical Christmas at Drayton Manor 2018

Ho! Ho! Ho! Let’s go to Drayton Manor, home of Europe’s only Thomas Land™, to experience its award-winning Magical Christmas with the Imagination Parade and fireworks until 31st December 2018 to really get into the spirit of Christmas!

Drayton Manor Park is a short car hop for us and we have become quite a regular visitor! Throughout the years, we have seen so many changes and improvements in the park which keeps us going back again and again.

Celebrating 10th Anniversary of Thomas Land

Last weekend, we were delighted to be part of the 10th Anniversary of Thomas Land press celebration which has been open at the popular Drayton Manor Theme Park since 2008! Did you know that since its installation, the Thomas engine, which journeys from Knapford Station to Tidmouth Hault, has travelled an incredible 13,799 miles in total? This is the equivalent to travelling from Scotland to London and back nearly 15 times!

Dudley Zoo Gardens

Cravendale Milk is rewarding their fans for drinking more of their good stuffs with visits to zoos to once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Join them today and they will welcome you with a 2 for 1 voucher for a great day out. Collect 3 codes to start your first adventure! Love Cravendale sent us to the ZOO! Dudley Zoo is a zoo with hundreds of animals set around an 11th century castle incorporating the world’s largest single collection of Tecton buildings and the country’s only vintage chairlift – all sited on a 40-acre wooded hillside with a rich geological history.

This morning was such a gorgeous day.  We set off from Lichfield which took us 50 minutes to reach the Zoo. The car park is just next to the Zoo but there is quite a walk if you come late. The fee is £3.50 per day which is quite reasonable.

Itsyourstory – Zoo Adventure

Itsyourstory was the first company in the UK to sell photo personalised books for children and they are still the best!  Their range has expanded to 26 books as well as cards, party invites, e-books, e-cards and our latest product – a photo-personalised Father Christmas letter.

We were given this opportunity to review Itsyourstory Father’s Day Book: Zoo Adventure. It is very simple with clear instruction to order online. You can either choose to register an account or a guest account. Select a book and choose the size of the book. Add them in the basket and click checkout.  It will ask you if you would like to submit a photo and add any personalise words. Once the payment is cleared, you will received an email and you have 24 hours to make any amendment to it.

West Midland Safari Park

Today, we went to visit the Wild Winter Safari, West Midland Safari Park thanks to moneysupermarket.com who gave us family tickets for us to do this review.  It didn’t take us long to reach the place as there were lot of signs.  We were greeted by friendly staff but unfortunately we weren’t allowed to upgrade our tickets to see Santa because they were fully booked until 4pm.
