After a late start, what better way to waste away the last of the autumn sunshine than a (not so gentle) jaunt around the woods at Felbrigg. We had a few hours to kill before moving on to the Lantern Parade at BeWilderwood, so we set off along the victory walk. However, someone within our happy throng, who shall remain anonymous, uttered the fateful words “let’s chose the path less trodden”. Whilst this is a wonderfully romantic nod to Robert Frost’s poem (look it up – it’s really good!) in the hands of two young children, it holds great power.…

This is a new one on us and, pun notwithstanding, there really were no downs. We arrived a bit late for our session but this did not hinder our enjoyment, largely due to the helpfulness and friendliness of staff. Our two had great fun bouncing their way around the floor, taking a leap of faith onto the huge air pillow, shooting hoops and playing Trampoline dodge ball. They both finished up with worn out legs and a slushy to cool down. Coffee’s not bad either! A little distance from Waverley, but easily reachable by car (about 45 mins). Check out…

This is our second visit to this top class facility. The building is brand new and is decked out with state of the art equipment. We went to a family swim session during which you can enjoy a paddle in the flat bottomed, warm toddler pool, be drenched by the splash pad, or takes things up a notch in the much larger, slightly cooler main swimming pool. Inflatables were available for both pools free of charge. I don’t know what the next session was going to be, but we saw staff dragging an enormous Inflatable obstacle course onto the main…

Lovely lunch at the Corner House. Between us we scoffed down egg mayonnaise sandwiches, a ham and cheese toastie and a jacket potato with cheese and beans, all of which where fab. But we weren’t done yet! We followed that up with a fresh scone with jam and cream, a bakewell slice, a huge slice of Victoria sponge and a slab of coffee cake! This definitely isn’t fast food as everything is cooked fresh to order, but it is certainly worth the wait! Tables are available inside and out.

We decided to walk along the beach today, from East Runton to West Runton. Our ultimate goal was to have lunch at the Corner House cafe in West Runton. As we stepped onto the beach and turned left, almost immediately we were confront by this amazing standing stones sculpture. No idea who made it, but we were both impressed…and inspired! Here are some of our efforts… [catlist catlink="yes" name="Beaches" date="yes"]

Just spent a lovely afternoon at Felbrigg (as always!) This time we enjoyed their Easter egg trail which involved us following a simple map to various checkpoints where we undertook certain tasks. For example, we played a game of hide and seek (where 7yo couldn’t be found… she had climbed 30ft up a tree – how is that fair?). We also learnt how to play a grass trumpet, among many other things. Our two children were rewarded at the end with an Easter egg each, and we as a family took home memories of a beautiful family afternoon, laughing and…
