A long weekend of sunshine 🌞

What a lovely bank holiday weekend we’ve just had here in the East of England. Weather like this doesn’t happen that often and as soon as it does boy do we know… out come the flip flops, shorts & Instagramed blue sky pictures! But isn’t it great!! & perfect coupled with a extra long weekend.

Here is how I spent the Bank holiday weekend, in the sun.

Saturday 5th

A sunny (& V.hot) Parkrun in the park.

A stroll to the local park and a go on the swings, followed by a drink in a cafe along the waterfront.

Sunday 6th

Watching the football, in the sunshine, followed by a lovely sunny picnic with my husband Tim, sister Sarah & nephew’s Noah & Casey. We had some yummy food, relaxed in the sun, played and stopped for a Starbucks.

Monday 7th

Lunch in the sunshine at one of our favourite local eateries. Pretending we are in Italy.

A drink in a cafe on the waterfront with Tim, my mum and dad. Outside in the sunshine, soaking up the last of the sun and enjoying the extra day off work!

I hope you were able to get out in the sun & make the most of that extra vitamin D 🌞

What did you guys get up to at the weekend?

Any plans for the next May bank holiday?

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

A weekend of fun 🎆😱👍

This weekend we’ve had lots of fun, friends, fireworks, frights, family & food! My idea of a great weekend. 

It started on Friday evening with us going to the fireworks in Sproughton with friends. We grabbed some hot food & drinks and watched the fireworks together, they were really good. We had sparklers afterwards and then checked out the toasty bonfire 🎆🔥

On Saturday me, Tim, Sarah & four other friends went to Scaresville at Kentwell Hall! I’ve never been to anything like that before and it was brilliant! It’s basically a horror live action experience with sets and scarers. I have never jumped & screamed so much in my entire life 😄😱

The location, sets & actors are fab and you really feel like you are in a horror film. It lasted for an hour & a half and for how good it was £27 was a bargin! I can’t wait to go again next year 😱

Here are some pics of the ‘Unfairground’ where you wait for your scare experience to begin!

And a group selfie to prove we made it out alive! 

Sunday saw a visit from this little guy…

Noah, my eldest nephew came round for a play with Auntie RoRo & Uncle TT on Sunday morning. 

He loved the new Mr Kipling cake stand I had got him and we also played some instruments together & did some colouring too.

We stopped for lunch & a spot of Peppa pig before dropping him back off home.

It was lovely to see him as always 💙

Once we had dropped Noah home we made our way to The Swan at Westerfield for Tim’s nannas birthday meal. It was nice to see some of the family & to enjoy some yummy food. 

My main was Spinach & buffalo ricotta ravioli in a tomatoe sauce.

Tim had the cheese & bacon steak burger with chips & onion rings.

Dessert was my favourite though…

Baked white chocolate tart with berry compote & vanilla ice cream

 Hands down one of the best desserts I’ve had in ages👌

Tim had the double chocolate pot 🍫

We spent the rest of Sunday chilling out together, eating snacks & binge watching the big bang theory (Do we really have to go to work tommorrow?!? 😣)

What did you get up to this weekend? 

Until next time, 

Roseanne 🙂

Holiday Glamping fun 🏕

In the half term me, my husband Tim, Sister Sarah, her husband Dan & their kiddies Noah & Casey went on a little holiday together. 

We decided to go to Wavney River Centre in Norfolk to stay in one of their ‘Escape pods’ for a couple of nignts Thurs-Sat. My sister and her family had previously stayed there and loved it so we thought why not!

Here’s our pod…

Me & Tim had the top bunk whilst Sarah & Dan had the beds either side, with the children in the middle.

It may look small but you don’t feel like you squished considering there were 4 adults and 2 small children in our one. It’s all made of wood which is lovely and they have a nice homey feel to them.

Tim loved chilling out on the bunk 👍

There is lots to do on site at Wavney River Centre! They have a swimming pool with a jacuzzi, a lovely children’s play area and a pub/resturant that serves delicious food & drinks.

Little Casey had his first swim during the holiday which he seemed to enjoy & Noah loved dipping his toes into the jacuzzi.

There were a few things to do nearby too, within driving distance (I would say having a car is essential if you are staying there) 

We took the kiddies to the Oasis Camel Park. 🐪🐫

We saw lots of animals…

…but, Tim was the only one brave enough to feed them.

We made it out of the maze…

…I made a new friend…

& we took a train ride 🚂🚃

Camel selfie 👍🐫

It was a fun day! We went swimming again afterwards & had smores in the evening after some yummy food at the resturant.

On the Saturday we met up with my other sister & her husband at Pleasurewood hills for their ‘Pleasurewood Chills’ event. There were lots of spooky decorations, rides & an awesome fireworks display to finish the night!

The fireworks display was really good..🎆

We rounded off the holiday with a meal together at the Harvester nearby! It was such a good holiday, I didn’t want it to end.

What did you get up to in half term?

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

Bank holiday blog 

So as you will know we had a bank holiday at the beginning of the week, a long weekend = happy Roseanne 🙂 

Here’s what I got up to..

Friday evening 

 Me & my sister Sarah went to a Crumble magic party. It’s the same premise as body shop parties just with Crumble magic products.

Crumble magic is one of Sarahs in laws business and the candles she makes smell incredible. They are essentially ‘creative candle scents’ 

I love candles & smellies so I was in heaven 😍 

My favourite scent that I picked up was the divine ‘Strawberry lemonade’ it smells lush and like real fizzy lemonade. I can’t wait to burn this one 👌

Check out Crumble magic on facebook or online here. 

Saturday

We had a chilled out Saturday which is always a winner. Tim was off to the football with my dad so I went to watch ‘The BFG’ at our local Cineworld. I have been wanting to see this for a while so before it went out of the cinema I thought I’d go. 

I really enjoyed the film, although it is definitely aimed more at children! (Big kid right here 🙌) It was a lovely representation of the book & funny too.

In the evening we went to our friends house for dinner & games. They have recently moved into their new place so it was lovely to see it & see how they are getting on with decorating. Their house is so lovely 🏡

Dinner was a delicious home cooked Shepards pie & afterwards we played a game of ‘Scotland Yard’.

All in all a great Saturday 👍

Sunday

On Sunday we had a busy but fun day. We started off by taking part in the Bubble run at one of the local parks, the course is 5K and included bubble/foam stations along the way!

It was lots of fun! The run was in aid of St Elizabeth hospice, so it was nice to do a bit of good too 🙂

At 6 we went to the new trampolining place that has opened on Cardinal Park, it’s called Flux.

We went here with Tim’s work friends and had a great time, it was a bit different & a fun way to exercise too. I can’t wait to go back!

Afterwards we all went to Nandos for dinner, always a winner with me 🐓🍗

Monday

Monday was a lovely family day. My Auntie had come down to see this little fella…

This is Casey James Parker, my new nephew♡  24.08.16 9.53am 8lb 10.5oz

He is a beauty & I was lucky enough to witness him come into the world.

Lots of cuddles all round 🙂

We took Noah & Casey for a walk to the park in the afternoon & then stopped off for dinner at KFC on the way home. I havnt had it in ages so it was a nice treat & Noah certainly enjoyed himself…

I hope you all had a fab bank holiday, roll on the next one 😉

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂
