🌳 Whitlingham Country Park 🦆 Looking for a 🌳 Whitlingham Country Park 🦆

Looking for a walk perfect for the whole family? @whitlinghamcountrypark is one of our favourites.

The 2 mile walk around the lake is beautiful and it's pretty flat the whole way round. The gravel path is fairly smooth and you can easily walk round with a pushchair or pram. 

Don't forget duck food though, as they definitely like being fed. There is a @notcuttsuk not far away if you need to pick some duck food up before your visit.

💐 Felbrigg's Walled Garden 🌼 One of my fav 💐 Felbrigg's Walled Garden 🌼 

One of my favourite places in Norfolk is Felbrigg's walled garden. It doesn't matter what time of year we go, it's always got so much to see.

This is a particular favourite time of year to visit though, as so many of the flowers are out, and you'll see bright colours everywhere.

🎢 Pleasurewood Hills 🐻 Are you ready for a 🎢 Pleasurewood Hills 🐻 

Are you ready for a new season at Pleasurewood Hills?! 

One of Erin's favourite days out is at a theme park and we had to best time at @pwhills this weekend. We visited during the soft opening, meaning a few of the bigger rides were closed. However, I actually think this was an amazing time to go.

The park was much quieter than our visit last summer and we didn't wait more than 5 minutes for any ride all day. In fact, Erin went on the 'Egg-spress' 8 times in a row, only queuing to wait for the ride to stop! 

To add to the excitement, Pleasurewood Hills has two great shows that you should definitely go and see while you're there! We got to learn about sea lions and watch some fantastic birds learn how to do tricks. The best bit? Getting to meet a skunk and give him a stroke. 

There's plenty of choice for food and drink at Pleasurewood Hills, with loads of indoor and outdoor seating. We made the most of the nice weather though and took a picnic with us. It was nice to have a bit of down time between rides, and gather our energy again for even more fun. 

Wondering if the ticket is worth it? We stayed from open to close, packing in as much as possible. We did a bit of everything from bigger rides, the shows and then some slower rides like a ride on the chair lifts. 

We can't wait to go back again when all of the rides are open!

🌼 Oxburgh Estate National Trust 🌼 Whenever 🌼 Oxburgh Estate National Trust 🌼 

Whenever the weather gets nicer it always makes me want to go for a walk at a National Trust place.

Although bit of a drive for us, @oxburgh_nt is one of my favourites.

Not only is there a moat, but inside the house is so interesting with so much history. We love a walk around the grounds, especially during snowdrop season. 

We always find something nice in a National Trust shop too. It's not very often we come away empty handed. 

Where is your favourite National Trust for a day out?

🐛 The Bug Parc 🪲 AD | Looking for your nex 🐛 The Bug Parc 🪲 

AD | Looking for your next day out with the kids? There's so much to do at @thebugparc

Included with your ticket is:
🐞 Access to hundreds of bugs
🛝 Outdoor play area with bouncing pillow
⛱️ Undercover sand play area
🦋 Brand new butterfly house 

For a small additional cost you can even take part in an amazing Bug handling session. We've done this twice now and it's always a highlight of our visit. 

With plenty of seating outside, you're welcome to take a picnic but there's also a great cafe on site. 

Plan to spend most of the day here though, because you won't want to leave.

🐣 Applewood Countryside Park Spring Fling 🐰 🐣 Applewood Countryside Park Spring Fling 🐰 

AD | We had the best day with @applewoodholidays at their Spring Fling event! Although you can stay here, this event is open to everyone with a ticket!

Open from 11-3, there was so much to do and see. We didn't stop for most of the day, always finding something new and fun to do. Here's what we managed to fit in:

🚜 Tractor trailer ride
🎨  Easter themed arts and crafts
🐣  Woodland Easter egg hunt
💃 Party dances 
🛍  Browsing craft stalls
🎷 Live music from @maria.singer_saxophonist
🍕  Delicious pizza from @eastcostpizzacompany (additional cost)
📸 Photos with Bodhi the Easter Bunny
🐎  Meeting the gorgeous Suffolk Punch horses

Erin declared this the best Easter event ever, and absolutely did not want to leave. Crazy dancing with @maria.singer_saxophonist at the end of the day was definitely a highlight! 

We had so much fun and although it's our first time at Applewood, we're already looking forward to the Halloween Spooktacular on 25th October!

🪴 Notcutts Garden Centre 🌼 Is it even a Ba 🪴 Notcutts Garden Centre 🌼 

Is it even a Bank Holiday weekend if you don't go to the garden centre?

We had our first visit to @notcuttsuk in Norwich and got lost in there a few times!

Grandma bought Erin a fish tank for Easter and we needed a few extra bits before we're ready for the fish! Erin's fallen in love with some red shrimp so they'll definitely be coming home with us next time. 

Although we didn't have time today, we took a quick look in the restaurant and that's being added to my list for next time too. The cakes looked incredible. 

This was a great place to get some garden inspiration, even if I can't afford to buy everything I'd want right now.

🌞 A day in Sheringham 🍦 Did you get out an 🌞 A day in Sheringham 🍦 

Did you get out and enjoy the sun today?

Me and Erin had a girls day in Sheringham and it's was exactly what I needed.

We started with a walk along the sea front followed by a hot chocolate. It was nice and quiet first thing this morning!

We obviously had to stop by the arcades to play on the 2p machines before heading to Daves for fish and chips for lunch. 

It was fairly warm just after lunch so we finished our day out with a delicious ice cream before getting the train home.

🥞 All you can eat pancakes for £5 🥞 When 🥞 All you can eat pancakes for £5 🥞 

When I first saw this offer, I was sure I was mistaken... but I wasn't! @franksfamilybakery really do offer all you can eat pancakes for just £5.

The catch? It's only available Sunday and Monday between 3 and 5pm, and you do need to book in advance. 

With options like bacon and maple syrup, rocky road and school cake, there's something for everyone. 

We didn't manage anywhere near as many as we thought we could, but the pancakes are delicious and you don't need to wait long for your next plate either. 

Bonus: you can also buy amazing looking cakes to take home, or the menu also has things like delicious filled baps. I need to go back to try everything else!

🤠 Calamity Jane 👢 AD | Yeehaw! We had a wh 🤠 Calamity Jane 👢 

AD | Yeehaw! We had a whip crackin’ good time at Calamity Jane at @norwichtheatre this week! Based on the 1953 film (and loosely on the real-life legend herself), it’s a feel-good show packed with catchy tunes, laugh-out-loud moments and a fab cast.

Set in the wild west town of Deadwood, Calamity’s tall tales get her into all sorts of mischief, especially when she promises to bring back a famous star to perform at the theatre. What follows is chaos, charm and plenty of cowboy banter!

Carrie Hope Fletcher shines as Calamity Jane and her voice is absolutely incredible. And Vinny Coyle as Wild Bill Hickok? Their on-stage chemistry was brilliant. But the standout duo for me? Hollie Cassar and Samuel Holmes as Susan and Francis Fryer. They are hilarious, heartwarming, and I wish they’d had even more stage time!

While a few bits felt a little dated, this high-energy show still had us grinning from start to finish. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a total newbie (like us!), it’s a rootin’, tootin’ night out for the whole family.

They've gone all out this year with such an exciting show and there's really something for everyone to enjoy. There's acts like clowns, aerialists, and amazing roller skaters.

We had the best time and it's such a great way to spend some time during the Easter holidays. Food and drink is available before the show and during the interval, and you can also buy light up toys and have your face painted!

You've got until 21st April to catch this amazing show, and you can get 50% off tickets with code 'RUSSELL'
