🎒 Back to Legoland 🎒 One of our favourite 🎒 Back to Legoland 🎒 

One of our favourite trips from 2024 was a stay at Legoland, in their Woodland Lodges. We've been desperate to go back ever since. 

Thanks to some vouchers and a cheap hotel find not too far away, we're going back for the day in July. Sadly, we weren't able to afford to stay at Legoland again, but a Premier Inn will do us just fine. 

There were a few things we didn't get to do last time, so we'll probably make them a priority this time. Erin also has some favourite rides so no doubt she'll want to go on them again. 

Something we didn't do last time was eat at Legoland, opting to take a picnic with us instead. Is there anywhere that you love? Or should we save time and eat as we go?

🌳 Whitlingham Country Park πŸ¦† Looking for a 🌳 Whitlingham Country Park πŸ¦†

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.

One of my favourite places in Norfolk is Felbrigg'sΒ 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.Β

🎒 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?

πŸ› The Bug Parc πŸͺ² AD | Looking for your nex πŸ› The Bug Parc πŸͺ² 

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
πŸ› Outdoor play area with bouncing pillow
⛱️ Undercover sand play area
πŸ¦‹ 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
πŸ’ƒ Party dances 
πŸ›  Browsing craft stalls
🎷 Live music from @maria.singer_saxophonist
πŸ•  Delicious pizza from @eastcostpizzacompany (additional cost)
πŸ“Έ 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!

πŸͺ΄ Notcutts Garden Centre 🌼 Is it even a Ba πŸͺ΄ 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.
