Zack's 5th Birthday - Magic Show Party

For Zack's 5th Birthday we celebrated with family and lots of his school friends with an amazing Magic Show Party.

We hired a local children's entertainer Nicky Trix who has just amazing! I had heard lots of great reports about his show and he didn't disappoint, Nicky kept the kids (and adults) entertained for 2 solid hours with an amazing magic show,  bubble machine, game show, dance competition and loads more!

Zack was super excited about his party and having all his friends attend - He can be quite shy sometimes so I was surprised when he was at the front participating in all the fun - and absolutely loving it!

To tie in with the magic show I made party food boxes decorated with a playing card and stars and printed magic themed labels for fruit shoot bottles - tables were decorated in red and yellow table cloths and balloons in keeping with the colour scheme - doing the food boxes and getting everything set up in advance was such a good idea as it meant that I could really enjoy the party as well - and take lots of photos!

For the going home party bags - I found the perfect little magic sets together with a whoopie cushion for the boys and a skipping rope for the girls and a sweet cone that made with a cute tag that said "thank you for making my birthday magical"

Afternoon Tea at Annley House Tea Room

On Sunday my wonderful mum turned 70.  To celebrate we decided to go for Afternoon Tea at the Annley House Tea Room in Latchingdon.

The Tea Room is situated in a barn at the back of a residential house and is beautifully decorated with lots of homely touches giving the place a wonderful cosy and relaxing atmosphere.

The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious, freshly baked scones with strawberry preserve and clotted cream, homemade cakes and a selection of sandwiches and mini rolls presented on a traditional tiered cake stand with your choice of a pot of tea or coffee.

  

As well as afternoon tea, on the menu was a variety of breakfast and lunch options including a  selection of sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes and all the home made cakes on display all looked amazing!

Al fresco dining is also available in the tea room court yard - I think this would be lovely on a beautiful summers day!
