Ness Botanical Gardens

Yesterday I went on a lovely trip to Ness  gardens with my family. Before we got to the gardens we visited the near by beach and had a quick walk around and I of course had to stroke and photograph the resident cat! We then went and had some lunch at the most amazing little cafe called 'Avanti', I had a chicken and pesto pasta salad with a vanilla ice cream milkshake and It was so yummy! We then drove on to Ness gardens for a walk around.

The gardens were so pretty and we were there at the perfect time of year because all of the flowers were in full bloom and the weather was perfect. We strolled around the gardens and Sam and I took lots of photos of all the beautiful flowers and we even saw some cute little ducklings, you can see them in the second to last photo but there were flies everywhere. The gardens were so big and we spent most of the afternoon there, and we also spent a while looking at the resident chickens that were very cute. It was such a lovely day and I really want to go again!

I won't be posting again until after Wednesday because I am going to Amsterdam tomorrow which I am so excited about, but I will make sure to do a post when I'm back with all of my photos from the trip! So if you send me any emails or anything I probably won't be able to reply until Wednesday. But I shall be back soon :)

We used to play outside when we were young and full of life and full of love.

Last weekend I went on a lovely walk with my family and friend Shelley. It was my Mum and Dads anniversarey so I met them for brunch at a little cafe and I had he yummiest cooked breakfast with a banana milkshake, and my Mum got eggs benedict which I had to photograph because it looked so yummy!

The weather was so nice (24c) to be precise, It felt like summer! I didn't think it was going to be so hot so I looked a bit daft wearing jeans and a leather jacket, and believe me I was boiling. After breakfast we walked back from the cafe, along the river and through pretty public gardens back to our house and Shelley and I ended up sitting on my bed watching a film because we were really tired.

The night before that I had to been to a James bond themed party at Shelley's house which was really good, so that's why we were so tired!

I'm Back!

 The hotel that we stayed in, I think it was called hotel Cheyenne

 A view of the park and castle

 A special parade to celebrate their 20th anniversary!

 We ate in the rainforest cafe, and it was amazing! The whole restaurant is illed with vines anf trees and moving animals, such as elephants coming out of the wall. Then every 30minutes or so they have a pretend thunderstorm and there is fake lightning and rain noises and all the animals start moving! It is so cool :)

 My meal that I chose (it was delicious) although I was tricked into thinking the things in the middle bowl were chips, but no they were battered vegetables ahah!

One of my favourite bits was the Alice in wonderland maze (I'm such a child)

A view of fanatasy land

On the second to last nigh we were there we watched the firework display over the castle, it was os good! They use lasers and fire and project images onto the castle so it looks like peter pan is flying round it and that Tinkerbell is inside!

It was a great holiday and I really enjoyed myself. But Disneyland was SO busy the queuing times for most of the rides was about 60-70 minutes, and for 2 of the days it was very hot so you didn't really want to be stood around in the sun. I am also sorry that I didn't get to reply properly to anyone comments on the previous post but for some reasons blogger on my phone wouldn't let me publish any comments? I also definitely ate way to many croissants and bowls of chocolate cereal whilst away, so now I'm trying to go on a bit of a diet and just generally eat more fruit and veg etc. So if you would like me to do food diary's, fitness posts or just updates on it then let me know. I hope you are all well, I will be doing lots of posts soon!
