Days Out in the Midlands
Essington Farm
One of our favourite PYO farms is Essington Fruit Farm. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl. I would visit with my Grandma Hines who owned The Duke of Cambridge (a real ale) pub in Willenhall. We would come strawberry picking and my Grandma would find a section she liked and would…
Becketts Farm Sunflower Field
If you have been following me for a while, you will know I absolutely love a flower field. Today we headed to Becketts Farm Sunflower Field. It is large and completely FREE to enter and look around. There’s no picking of the sunflowers at Becketts Farm, so don’t go expecting to pick your own. Lodge…
Confetti Petal Fields are now open
It is one of our yearly traditions as a family to head to the flower fields in Wick, Pershore, so when we heard the event was going to be ticketed, we couldn’t help but keep refreshing the page ready to get our tickets. Wick for us is a 50 minute drive, so we got up…
British Ironwork Centre
On Tuesday we headed to the British Ironwork Centre. It seemed the perfect stop off for our journey home from North Wales. A chance to stretch our legs outdoors and get a bite to eat. Entry to the British Ironwork Centre is FREE. When you first enter the park you drive by lots of large…

From the moment we entered the grounds, you could tell that this impressive 4500 square meter site had the wow factor. A…
Cotswold Lavender Fields
Yesterday, the beautiful Cotswold Lavender Fields opened their gates to the public and today we decided to head along to see how they were this year. Now open until 26th July 2020, these fields are so beautiful and well worth the hour drive from Birmingham to see them. Adults are £4, children aged 5 and…
National Trust during Covid times
Today we headed off on an adventure to Packwood House National Trust. We have been members since last August, but had never visited this house so were very excited to have managed to get tickets to go. Tickets for National Trust locations are now (during Covid-19) released on their website at Midnight on Thursdays /early…
Manor Farm Fruits PYO Strawberries
Today we headed along to Manor Farm Fruits to the PYO Strawberries field. With Covid-19 you now had to pre-book your One Hour time slot online. We thought it was wonderfully organised. Social distancing was superb and we felt so relaxed being able to do something that we love doing. To ensure social distancing is…
