May Bank Holiday weekend

We have had a lovely bank holiday weekend ... this is what we have been up to....

On Friday night I went out for dinner followed by cocktails with the mums from school who have children are going up to big school in September, it was lovely catching up with the mums I know and also meeting a few new ones!
Saturday as it was such a lovely day we decided we would go to Barleylands in Billericay to the farmers market - to be honest it was a bit of a disappointment as there was only about 6 stalls there - although we did pick up some delicious sausages from the Giggly Pig Company stall to bbq that evening.
Whilst we were at Barleylands we decided to take the boys to the farm park which is also onsite. This is a great place to visit if you have young kids with plenty to do - tractor rides, little ride on tractors which the kids can ride around the park on, feeding the goats and sheep,  Reptile house with snakes, reptiles and mini beasts,  lamb national racing and a great indoor play centre. I am thinking of purchasing an annual ticket for us all.
On Sunday we went to the Lazybones car boot sale in Rettendon, I wasn't sure what to expect but it was huge with plenty of people selling and buying.

I managed to pick up a few bargains -

  • 2 murder mystery games which I am looking forward to having some friends over to play one evening - £5
  • white serving platter which I am thinking would be really nice filled with fruit or veggies with a dip - £1
  • A cute little glass jar with christmas trees on it - which I am going to fill with sweets over the festive period - £1
  • Mediterranean terracotta dish which matches a lasagne and salad dish I brought years ago from debenhams - 50p  

The weather turned windy and cold on Monday so we decided to have a quite day indoors, chilling out and watching movies and thats a wrap on our Bank Holiday weekend and we are back to work tomorrow.
