Last weekend we decided to do something a little bit different and trekked down to the Clwyd Veteran & Vintage Machinery Society rally. Yes, I know that it’s a bit of a mouthful, but in short it was a fabulous show of all things mechanical and vintage. Cars, motorcycles, cycles, camper vans, tractors, LandRover’s, military vehicles…basically if it has an engine or is mechanical in nature, it was there. Needless to say, Henry and hubby had a great time.
Henry is older now – 2 next month – which means that summer adventures are a lot easier now. He can walk, talk, get involved and have as much fun as his big sister. So, this year we are getting festival ready! Our first one of the season was Geronimo Festival at Arley Hall. There was sun, sand and plenty of fun.
Some wife’s weekends are filled with football as their husbands sit glued to the TV, in our house though it’s all about motorsport. F1, MotoGP, WRC….you name it. If it has an engine then the odds are that he’s keeping track of what’s going on. Luckily for me – and him – I don’t mind. I have the fondest memories of being allowed to eat our Sunday dinner on trays as we watched Mansell fight it out with Senna, and I share a bucket list dream with him of slowly over the years watching every race in the F1 calendar live.
Last weekend we were lucky enough to be able to make a start with the Spanish Grand Prix.
This isn’t exactly a craft, but it is a really quick and easy thing to set up which will mean hours of fun for little ones. If your kids are anything like mine, then they love copying whatever it is that you do. Laundry is no exception for us and today being the first really nice day we’ve had at home, it’s the first time I’ve managed to get the washing outside on the line to dry. The Bear loves helping me whenever I do this so today I thought I would make her very own toddler washing line.
Nestled in the hills of Pembrokeshire there is a little oasis: a magical place which has taken over the 500 acres of the Bluestone resort for two months of the year. Set in Britain’s only Coastal National Park: not only can you enjoy the sloping hills, enchanting woodlands and skim stones on the lake durnig a stay at Bluestone. But during November and December, Bluestone is also the gateway to a magical place. Elftopia!
