Monkey and I were in need of some fresh air last Saturday. We decided on a woodland walk and crafting session and headed off to the woods. Monkey’s been asking me to make him a dream catcher for ages, so I suggested we incorporate a few of his favourite things into our design. Armed with a bag…Continue reading A woodland walk and crafting session #weloveforests
Category: Days Out
We love to get out and about as much as possible, whether that be under our own steam or if we’ve been asked to review somewhere.

Enjoying a visit to Whipsnade Zoo in October
Last Saturday Monkey and I had arranged to meet up with my Dad’s cousin J. We meet up every year at one of our favourite places. We would be enjoying a visit to Whipsnade Zoo in October, our first such visit in the autumn. The weather forecast wasn’t promising, so I packed Monkey’s waterproof trousers and…Continue reading Enjoying a visit to Whipsnade Zoo in October
Enjoying a walk on Bodmin Moor
At the end of the summer holidays we spent a week in North Cornwall, based in St Breward at Hallagenna Cottages. Our cottage backed on to the edge of the moors and we’d drive across them every day when we were off on our adventures. We’d end most days by enjoying a walk on Bodmin Moor.…Continue reading Enjoying a walk on Bodmin Moor

This year, I was determined to rectify that matter. We arrived in Cornwall early one Saturday morning and decided…Continue reading Revisiting Tintagel Castle 20 years on
A walk through Cardinham Woods in the rain #weloveforests
When we were in Cornwall last year we saw Cardinham Woods from our steam train ride on the Bodmin and Wenford Railway. We said then, that we really must visit the woods in the future. So on our recent trip I’d pencilled in a day to do just that. The weather hadn’t quite agreed with my plans…Continue reading A walk through Cardinham Woods in the rain #weloveforests
