Today I took Chick and the Punk to a local place called Snibston Discovery Centre. It's on the site of a former colliery and is a combination of museum, science experiments, fashion gallery and general awesomeness for the kids. What I love most about it is that the kids can touch all the exhibits and there is plenty of space for running around. Obviously I took lots of pictures. This is Chick and The Punk with an old friend of mine ;-)
Shoes.....I can always find shoes!!!
It was such a beautiful day that we spent a lot of the time outdoors:
By the afternoon it got soooooo hot that we de-camped to the outdoor pool! It's very rare that we get to visit as the weather is England is normally crap and the Lido only opens for about 8 weeks a year!! No way in hell I'm showing you a pic of me in my swimsuit but the girls are pretty cute:
It was lovely to be able to hang out at the pool and do nothing but sit and watch the girls having fun, pretty much like being on a proper holiday! Fingers crossed that the weather is still as fabulous tomorrow so that we can go and do it all over again!!!
I know what you mean about feeling like you're on a proper holiday! I pinched about half an hour on the sun lounger yesterday with a book and had the same feeling x
ReplyDelete@muummmmeeeeee.....great isn't it? We're off then again today to make the most of the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteIlove the look of that life size thing you can turn round to pick different outfits - I reckon I could do with one of those to help me get dressed in the morning!
ReplyDelete@Slummysinglemummy......that would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from the tea party social. Really enjoyed your site! I've been to England several times but only in December-January timeframes. I need to go when it's not cold and wet(though I still loved it despite the weather)
ReplyDelete@amyblam....Thank you for stopping by.....it's great to meet you! You should definitely come visit during the Summer months!
ReplyDeleteSounds fun and your kids look adorable!
ReplyDelete@Island Gal.....It was great and looks can be very deceptive ;-)
ReplyDeleteAdmit it. You bought the shoes already and now you are trying to fit an outfit around it. We have all been there. Have we learned from it? Noooo :)
ReplyDelete@Metropolitan Mum....Welllllll I was in Kurt Geiger and this pair just jumped out and grabbed me and wouldn't let me go home without them ;-)
ReplyDeleteDid you put those shoes in the museum as an exibit to try and de clutter?
