October?
October Holiday already?
Mum has been busy working. She's been at the same school and has been very happy there. Dad's work is picking up and the girl and boy have been doing very well at school and both got great reports from parents night.
Mum and dad are leaving us behind. They're off for their 11th wedding anniversary. We get one day with them before Mum is taking us to York. We're very excited about that.
Reports when we all get back xx

Jeez....time's flying
We're nearly in September. The last 10 weeks have flown past and I have no idea where they have gone.
The children are back at school and Mum should return to work next week. All the usual activities have resumed. No more lazy weekends. So we need to treasure as much as we can.

Busy Week 3
On Monday we went fruit picking at another farm. It wasn't as good as the Fife one but we had fun.
On Tuesday we had to meet friends at Costco to collect a cake and had lunch.
On Wednesday it was our friends birthday and we had a day out to East Links Farm. We had pony rides and went on Go Karts.
On Thursday we walked to the library and it felt like a long walk.
On Friday we went swimming.
On Saturday we went Bowling to Crazy Golf and then McDonalds.
On Sunday we had a lazy day.
Busy week meeting up with everyone who's finally home.

High School Musical
We went to see High School Musical on stage. It was good but not as good as the film. They changed some of it. But we had lots of fun.
Fruit Picking
We had a lazy morning before heading to Cupar in Fife to go Fruit Picking and visit the Maze. The maze we gave up when we got fed up after 30 minutes so we headed over to the fruit picking area and got Fresh Strawberries and Raspberries which tasted so divine. Daddy and Boy liked doing the Strawberries because they were low down and Mum and girlie picked the raspberries which were quite high up. Unfortunately it did start to rain so we headed off. But will be visiting nearby places to pick fruit as they enjoyed it so much.

Holiday coninued
We got up late on Monday morning and had showers then headed to a nearby Morrisons for breakfast before heading to Bournville in Birmingham. There's one reason for going to Bournville.... the big purple sign. Cadbury's. We went to Cadbury World.
Mum checked in while we had a wander about. Then she got some free chocolate and our tickets and we headed for the cafe for dairy milk ice cream and hot chocolates. We looked through the maps and headed to the Bournville Experience which tells you how it was all strutcured and came about. Then we played in the playpark while awaiting the essence queue to go down. The essence experience was about how long it took them to make dairy milk. Then we got thick hot melted chocolate. Boy had it plain, Girlie had wine gums and mum had midget gems. (dad did have some but mum can't remember what). Then we headed back to look at the shop before heading into the actual factory. We got told about how chocolate came about and moving on to Cadbury's opening a tea merchants before expanding to chocolate and their subsequent move to Bournville. We got told about what the different factories are for and had a simulator ride on a factory machine. We had a small ride with the chucklebeans as well as getting to play with chocolate, writing our names in chocolate as well as seeing how they make hollow chocolate for fillings. Lots of things to see and do before ending up in the cadbury's shop.
We then headed to Frankie and Benny's for dinner before heading back to Leicester to pack up for an early start.
We got up early the next morning and headed down the M1 to London towards Legoland. Just after we arrived it started to rain but we managed to get some rides done before the rain stopped play. Ate lunch in the pasta and pizza place. Some stroppy patrons in there. Then onto doing rides between downpours. We ended up leaving early as we were all wet. Headed and checked in at the hotel before heading into Slough for dinner at the Buffet Chinese. Headed back to the hotel and had a drink in the bar before heading to bed for the night after our early start.
Next morning up at a more reasonable time. Headed along to breakfast where we had all the continental offerings and the added bonus of a cooked brekkie. After filling up we left early to get to Legoland again and headed on as many rides as possible that we could get on. Had a late lunch in one of the cafes before heading to the hotel and having dinner in the restaurant.
Thursday was a beautiful Sunny day... typical. We headed into London to spend the day in Hamleys, on the bus and river tours as well as dinner in Rainforest Cafe. Late train home but it was good but busy trip which flew past.
Friday was another train into London. The train and tube was very busy. We headed to the London Eye then to Trafalgar Square before lunching in Covent Garden. After that we headed back to Paddington to get a train back to Slough. For dinner we ate in the bar and had an early night as well as packing.
The drive home took just over 7 hours. It was much easier than expected and was nice to be home and get washing done.
