Sunday Park Fun

Yesterday we had a party and with the rain we didn't really get chance to get outside much, so we decided to head to the park this morning.

It was really warm and we didn't have to go far to feel like we were somewhere tropical, I have posted about the tropical house at our local park before but today we all got to visit and my son and husband had a run and my and my daughter did some scooting.

This park was the one my son had his accident at a few months back and it's the first time i've been back, was quite emotional!

The flowers and plants are simply gorgeous in the house...


We liked looking at the different leaves and these fig ones looked like dinosaur footprints...


Smelling the pretty flowers and looking at the bananas...


The gorgeous tropical plants and fruit looked beautiful covered in water droplets...


More looking at the tropical flowers and the koi carp in the pond...


It was a wonderful few hours spent looking round here and then walking to the park to play and just what we needed to blow away the cobwebs, although it was very warm!

Dolly's Vintage Tearoom Nottingham

With half an hour to spare, I decided to take my daughter to Dolly's Vintage Tearoom in the Woodthorpe area of Nottingham.

This little place is a diamond in the rough, in what I am sure would have once been a thriving shopping strip this gorgeous little tearoom sits amongst the now sadly empty shops, but I am so glad it does.

I love going to Cafes, if I want to treat my son I take him somewhere for tea and cake and this I think will be my new haunt.

With toys, drawing stuff and a play kitchen there is plenty to occupy the children, whilst I enjoy a lovely traditional cup of 'real' tea! You know the kind you have to strain and comes in a teapot and china cup and saucer.

I opted for a teacake with a nice cup of tea, the perfect early morning treat and in a gorgeously vintage setting made the perfect early morning stop off.



If you are local to Nottingham I can highly recommend Dolly's Vintage Tearoom
