Had a lovely family day out a couple of weekends ago for Mother’s Day.  We took Steve’s parents with us and with big beautiful tropical butterflies to look at, my camera had to come along for the ride as well!  My eldest son was a bit freaked out by the size of the butterflies fluttering about in the greenhouse room but my middle son actually wanted to hold one!  Luckily just before we went home one came and landed on him and he was chuffed to bits.  As well as the butterflies there is a room with some parakeets and other birds in.  Watch out in there in summer wearing sandals as there are a couple that quite fancied pecking my feet!!  Apart from that there’s a little park area for the children and a few small animals likes guinea pigs and rabbits, an owl or two, some reptiles and a couple of miniature donkeys!  Quite a quirky little place really, I enjoyed it anyway – not sure the kids want to go back any time soon – perhaps I took too many photos or something?! 😉  After a nice cuppa back at Steve’s mum & dad’s we stopped once more on the way home for a sunset photo… I was one happy and am one VERY lucky Mum 🙂
