Holiday time .... part 5... Essex ... Thorndon Country Park.... Gruffalo hunting

Some boys took a stroll through a deep dark wood .... no it's not déjà vu we went Gruffalo hunting again.

You may remember my post in April when we went to Sherwood Pines in search of the elusive Gruffalo, and very elusive he was too.... well we found out why ... he was still on holiday down south, in Thorndon Country Park to be exact.

   While researching my last post on the Internet I came across many fantastic reviews for Thorndon Country Parks Gruffalo trail but it was too far for us, that is until mum asked if I had any plans for our few days at hers.  I checked the address and discovered it was in Brentwood (I once went to guide camp near there) which is not too far at all from hers.   After the last disappointment I didn't tell the boys where we were going, that and the fact if the heavens opened it would be a write off but come the Saturday, having checked the weather which looked as if the worst we'd get were light showers we headed off, armed with welly boots.

holidays,,,,,

Hi all,

I've been away this week (not that you'd have guessed as I actually scheduled posts) - have been reading your lovely comments but not been able to post reply's so I'll have a catch up (probably tomorrow evening).  Have got some lovely posts to write about Legoland Windsor, Easton Farm Park and a gruffalo trail WITH a gruffalo!!  plus loads more and a potential update on my Snazaroo post.

Must go and break the boys fight up now.... roll on school again tomorrow........
