Holidays are coming

In a couple of weeks we are going on holiday to Ben's brother Matt and his wife Kerri's house in Yeovil. We have never been there before and have so many great thins planned! We are going to Longleat (www.longleat.co.uk) - they have a big old Stately home, safari park, safari boat, huge maze, train, butterfly park and what makes it even better is SPORTACUS will be there!!!! Esther is sooooooooooo excited about that! Incase you don't know Sportacus is the hero of Lazytown, a kids TV programme, saves everyone, promotes sport and being active and eating 'sports candy' aka fruit and veg! Esther ovbiously thinks she is going to meet THE Spotracus but really its the Official UK Sportacus (not that she will know the difference) she has been telling me all things she is going to do when she meets him, so funny!

We are planning a trip to Lyme Regis (the coastal town they go to in Jane Austen's Persuasion), Montacute House (film location for Sense and Sensibility) and lots of other wonderful things! If you can't tell by now, I'm pretty excited.

Longleat is fantastic! We went last year, got our passport tickets with Tesco Clubcard Deals, which is an amazing deal. We went for a couple of whole days and still didn't manage to see the house. I seem to remember there is a sign in the safari warning you before you enter the monkey part, in case you want to skip it, sometimes the monkeys climb all over the car - but this was my absolute favourite - tiny tiny monkeys, so cute!

You'll have to report back on Sportacus - I hope he does some amazing flips and stuff.
