Lemur Landings Re- Launch

When I said to TJ Lemur Landings at Tower Park Poole was re - launching a updated version of the fantastic indoor play area he bounced around the room saying he wanted to go.
Keeping in mind TJ is now 9 years old and very excited to be going.

When arriving we had a meet and greet with two very cheeky and fun Pirate Lemurs. Lewey and Lola characters were so much fun they had me in giggles of laughter throughout the  time we were with them.  

The new Play village was so much fun although its for small children I had more fun dashing in and out a pretending to be different shop owners and the police. 


Next was the climbing wall with four different sections and light up steps reaching a height of 5 metres. 
There is a weight allowance minimum being 2st and maximum being 17st. 
The best part about the wall is being able to race others to the top and hit the button to stop the timer.
When it's quiet you can have as many goes as you want although when it busy there is a token system working.


TJ was to big to go on the smaller child's adventure area, which looked like so much fun.
The area was raised from the ground and the children had to wear harnesses  




Pizza was served as food at the re-launch and I have to say it was better then Pizza hut's. Our favorite flavor was the BBQ chicken and sweetcorn.  
The pizza's had plenty of cheese and lots of flavor.

Long Johns Fish & Chips

I'm up there among the seafood lovers of poole, and for me this chip shop is the best around.
With sit in and take away services, whether your in a rush or just having a wander through town this is highly recommended place to eat.


In the picture above I've ordered the skippers meal deal. I can eat with the best of them and this meal deal is more then adequate for myself and my mom. 
The fish and chips come out fresh from the fryer and on to the plate. As with all the food it's not to greasy.


The restaurant staff are always happy to help, friendly, on the ball and always smiling.

Cutting back the lavender

So this week other then being at work, I decided to take on the big challenge of sorting out parts of the garden for winter.
I managed to cut the grass which seemed to take forever and a day as it was damp. As well as cutting back the lavender. Now I've never cut the lavender back before now so I'm not sure how low I shouldve gone, but I still have some green showing on the top so I gave it a shorter at the sides and a little longer on the top kinda cut. It looks so much neater but hopefully it will survive.

Next on the task was to burn all the lavender. It was damp when I started burning and not to windy, so I checked the neighbours gardens to make sure no washing was out and I let loose on the burning bin.

Painting a room.... or 2!

This week I have been determined to paint my hallway and living room.
So far so good I'm the living room. As for the hallway I'm on the 4th coat of white paint still trying to cover up that dark dank magnolia!
We decided to paint it white to lighten up the thin corridor and add white accessories in time. It's definitely a lot brighter but until the carpets are down we won't be able to tell how much difference there will be ..... roll on Saturday.

Lush, the confession!

Omg I'm in love with Lush's product called 'FUN' .



It comes in various colors and scents Orange, Blue, Pink, Green, Yellow and I recently found out they do a Gold bar.
The product has a 4 in 1 usage. It can be used as play dough, shampoo, bubbles and a soap. 
I have found the Pink smells of vanilla with a slight scent of caramel.
  • Yellow smells like play dough.
  • Blue smells of lavender.
  • Green smells of lemon and lime.
  • Orange smells well of oranges.


Tj's favourite is the Green each bath time he covers himself in Green 'fun' from head to toe and acts like an alien.
Myself I prefer the Yellow 'fun' before my bath I break a small bit off and make a small ball and place triangles around so it looks like the sun. before crumbling it up under the tap to give myself lots of bubbles.
Using the product to wash with leaves skin feeling soft and smelling fresh.
I have yet to wash my hair with it as my hair tends to not like anything except Aussie shampoos and conditioners. Tj on the other hand has had his washed and it leaves his hair all fluffy and smelling again fantastic,

I give this product 4 out of 5 a product that I will keep on buying for a long time from now.

The famous Poole Quay bike night

Every week during the summer bike night is held on the Quay. There are has been in the past over 800 bikes on the Quay. Although I cannot ride a motor bike I love to look at them. I find the shapes and sounds amazing. 


I liked this one just for the shape and color and although hearing the engine roar I can understand why its owner wasnt far away. I wouldnt want to leave mine for long if I had something like it either.



When we arrived it was just gone 530pm. The photos were taken just after 9pm and as you can see by the amount of people the bike night is very popular.
