My bank holiday weekend!

I decided to take some time out this bank holiday weekend and spend it wholly with my friends and family.

On Saturday I took my best friend to see Alicia Keys at The NIA in Birmingham City for her birthday,    surprising we got there in one piece and without making any direction mishaps which is good for me as I usually just travel without looking at the map :) and hope for the best! 

She was amazing and I would 100% recommend anyone who is thinking of buying a ticket to go! 

                                       
                               

On Sunday my good friend Trudi had an open day at her lampwork studio, the sun came out in support and we had a fabulous day making beads and chatting about Glass :), I met some new faces and caught up with the usuals it's was a fun day had by all! 

                       


Monday was that extra day we all wish we had every week, myself and Kevin took our niece Kree-Anna out for the day, first stop was east Carlton park to play in the park and build sand castles then a stroll through the woods to see all the wonderful tree sculptures whilst eating ice lollies :D heaven! 

We then took a walk to The boating lake where a fun day was being held for local charities including Windmills Corby, it was full of bouncy castles, stalls, dancing / entertainment and a teddy bears picnic, great fun for the kids! 

We decided it was still early so we jumped in the car and took a trip to Market Harborough to browse the town boutiques, there are so many pretty things to see. The smell of freshly cooked chips passed us by and we couldn't resist a little afternoon snack. 

                                                      Two of my favourite people!

Day out with the kids




Day out with the kids

Me and Kevin decided we would take our nieces out for the afternoon as the weather seems to been getting better, it would be a great chance for them to get to know each other... Typical the rain comes and doesn’t want to stop; so we decided that the only thing to do was to get the wellingtons on and umbrellas out and head down to the local country park to feed the ducks.

Look our little monkey's running off into the puddles.

After the ducks not taking any notice of our tempting bread offerings we decided to take a walk back up to the cafe to dry off and warm up but the kids had other ideas.................................


After finishing their lollies we decided to head to asda to buy some rice crispies and chocolate for a dry, warm and messy cake making session.

When we arrived home it was apparent that the kids no longer wanted to partake in cake making so off they went to cause havoc in the play room whilst leaving me to make some gorgeous crispy cakes.

As soon as they were ready I could stop them tucking in.....


5pm .... Ring a ding ..... HOME TIME

What a day of joy J ... hopefully next time the weather will be on our side!
