Well, October is so far getting off to a pretty good start. Last week, on the last day of my week off my best friend and I took my Granddad on a little day out to Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm– it’s super local to us and he’s wanted to go and check out their latest arrivals for a while, so with the forecast looking promising and fond memories of the place off we popped.
I felt a bit like a witch in my chosen outfit for the day. A H&M dress and a Jumper from the Smiley Halloween collection (launching this week!). I think the big old orange face made me feel extra carefree though as it wasn’t long before I was sneaking away from the animals and heading towards the play parks for a bit of childish fun.
How could anyone resist a HUGE rainbow slide or a set of giant trampolines? I honestly can’t remember when I let my hair down and just enjoyed myself without thinking of all the things I should be doing instead. Of course now I’m back at work I’m finding it tough to find enough hours in the day- I think I may have to take a step back from daily blogging and focus on getting 2-3 quality posts up a week instead, that should free up a few hours to get other things done (or have some much needed me time/time with Ben).
I’m oddly really excited for Halloween this year despite having no plans, I don’t think it’s just the lure of funsized sweets and chocolate either…What will you be up to come the 31st of this month? Some inspiration would be grand. This jumper will feature for sure!
I had never even heard of Noahs Ark Zoo. I definitely need to take the girls there, they will love it. It is definitely great to have some time to let your hair down and have some fun, not that easy when you work, but really important. I struggle with posting too often but think once of twice a week is enough (as much as I can mange) usually.
Oh, yes your girls WILL love it! It’s not the cheapest place in the world but you can easily spend an entire day there between the animals and the several play areas (and the cafe for parents!)
Haha it looks like a lot of fun! I love Halloween but I never really do anything might have to change that this year though xoxo
A Happy Smiley Autumn to you too! These photos of you on the huge rainbow slide and on the trampolines at the Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm are great!!! I have no idea what I’ll be up to come the 31st but I LOVE your H+M dress and your big smiley-faced Smiley Halloween Collection jumper 😀
That looks like a lot of fun! It’s good to let your hair down every now and again. 🙂 xxx
I want to be on the trampoline.
If you stopped smoking there would be more hours in the day 😉

I can’t resist a trampoline.
I hope you find the right balance to work for YOU. Your blog is one I love to read and (selfishly) I want you to keep blogging forever! Keep smiling my dear x
I love those photos! I absolutely love trampolines, swings, slides, ball pools, water slides… I am basically just an overgrown child! xx
