My Nana came to visit yesterday with Auntie Scoobie and this time the weather was certainly on our side so paid a visit to Caldicot Castle. Free Parking, Free Entry, Lots of sun.... it was a no brainer really!

Since my mum actually had a weekend off from work, she was pretty determined that we were going to do something with it come rain or shine!
As it happened...it rained all day but that really didn't stop us from having fun. 

We packed a picnic, picked up a few companions and off we went to  Margam Park thanks to a recommendation from a one of my Mum's friends :)

It was a bargain too, free entry to the park and only £4 for parking all day. 

Despite the rain there was quite a bit to look at, beautiful gardens, a farm trail (where i saw some cousins of mine), a castle, a fairy tale village, a lake with some ducks, pretty ruins, Go Ape tree tops adventuring (which we didn't do this time). Basically, something for every one.

We couldn't look around the castle too much on this visit as there were signs around that said there was filming going on for a Tv show called Da Vinci's Demons.

So all in all, even with the weather not on our side, we managed to have fun and i think we will definitely be going there again...but we will take the sun with us next time.

Many of you may not know this, but my Mum helps out with a local Brownie Guiding Group and earlier in the year the the girls helped to plant a small garden in the church grounds where they hold their meetings. 

Now, with the school holidays, there are no Brownie meetings at the moment which means there isn't really anyone around look after the garden so my Mum has been going over to water and maintain it on their behalf.

My Mum took me along to help here with a bit of weeding as she hadn't had a lot of time to do very much recently and the picture you can see above is the 'before' picture...it was covered in Knot Weed and we could barely see the roses!

This afternoon saw a last minute trip out in the sun to St Fagan's National History Museum near Cardiff in South Wales.

Though we only got there an hour and half before closing time there was plenty to see in and around the gardens surrounding the Stately home that is build the grounds that used to house a Norman Castle.

We could only visit the open air part of the museum today as work was being done on the interior galleries...(just as well as we wouldn't have had time to look around the inside too!) but the gardens were beautiful with flowers blooming and butterflies flitting around. I wasn't so keen on the odd wasp that got too close but hey...you can't have everything i suppose. 

Inside the 'castle' it looked pretty cool with all the rooms laid out like they may have been way back when people actually lived there. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside the castle, which was a shame as there were a good few Photo opportunities to be had!

With cheap parking for the whole day and free entry  to the museum and gardens, I think perhaps my Mum might be planning to go back there another day when the sun is out again. I hope we go earlier in the day next time though so that we take a picnic and take our time looking at EVERYTHING and maybe even go on the tractor pulled train that goes about the grounds!

So the website had been up for a few days now and changes and additions are still being made. My favorite addition so far is the bit on my destinations page where my friends and fans can suggest where they would like to see me go.  

It would be impossible to find all the hidden treasures and secret adventures without the recommendations and suggestions from people that may have already been to or heard of  these places. 

So...if you haven't already posted your input then what are you waiting for....have your say!

I look forward to hearing your suggestions :)

Well, Facebook is good but not quite everything. There is tons of other stuff that i can do and share with my fans and friends when i'm not actually on an outing. 
 
This Is the first time my Mum has ever made a website so you'l have to bear with her while she get things up and running. She says that she hopes to get things being a bit more interactive than they are on facebook as we would really like get you guys more involved in choosing where my Adventures Take me.

So stay tuned for fun fun fun ...
