Family Fun!
This weekend I finally managed to take a couple of days off to spend some time with my boys and my mum who was visiting from NZ.
After a crazy day at the show on Friday, it was a lovely change to head to the botanical gardens on Saturday. It was a great sensory experience as we explored paths and secret gardens, smelled all of the herbs in the herb gardens (we even found a plant that smelt like pineapple!), walked up and down hills and stairs, saw lots of beautiful, colourful flowers, spotted some gorgeous baby ducklings and had plenty of space for the boys to run and be loud. Besides the parking fees and obligatory ice-cream at the end, it is a fun, free day out and I totally recommend it. Jody
