We do spend a lot of time at the beach! As someone who grew up landlocked, I really just love the beach and the sounds of the ocean. As we have three children that all love swimming about and playing in water, they love going to the beach too. We have a local beach we really love going too, but with so many sunny days in a row, we wanted to check out somewhere new and found Herne Bay Pier!
Waffles & More have opened up a branch in Harlow, and Dann really wanted to go there for his birthday! Not for the waffles and sweet treats, but for the “more”. You see, Waffles & More have a big sign outside about their upstairs arcade. On the first day they opened, Dann went up there and had a little sneak peak, and since has been trying to get someone, anyone to have a birthday party in their arcade.
While on holiday, we wanted to do a few activities that the children picked! One of the things that all three of them kept asking to do was go to a zoo. As we are a child-focused house, we looked up the local zoos (there were two) and picked the one that we felt was best – Exmoor Zoo. We went to Exmoor Zoo on a slightly overcast day, where the weather wasn’t very hot and there were a few drizzles of rain. The staff at the zoo said this was the best time to visit animals, as they wouldn’t be hiding from the sun and would be out getting fresh air – and they were right!
Dann and I always go to the Lavender Field to take cute pictures, each and every year, so when I was advertised a sunflower field at Foxes Farm, I knew we were going! We have actually not been to Foxes Farm previously, though they do have a pumpkin patch and we have visited a lot of pumpkin patches over the last few years. But, focusing on the Sunflower Field!
While on vacation at Woolacombe Bay again this year, we decided to check out some local areas and ended up going to Quince Honey Farm! We’ve never been to a honey farm before, and felt this would be a really unique, fun day out that felt very new for us all! Quince Honey Farm is a local honey farm that has loads of flowers planed specifically for bees, bee hives, bee keepers, honey tasting, a honey factory, candle making, soft play and a lovely cafe. There is actually a lot to do here, with different events every few hours for you to participate in.
