Summer Holiday: Brimham Rocks, Harrogate

The boys love it when we go to old Abbey's or Castles where they can explore the walls, but there's always the element of which bits they can and can't climb on safely whilst protecting the historic buildings.  Brimham Rocks is like one, 50-60 acre, rocky playground.

Tesco Orchard Review: Summer Fruit and Veg - Strawberries

The boys loved Tesco's fresh juicy strawberries which we tried as part of the orchard programme and would definitely get again.  They lasted a really long time and are so versatile.

These summer buckets and spades we bought from Lakeland make the perfect receptacle for them to be eaten fresh out of........

Tesco Orchard Review: Summer Fruit and Veg - Carrots and Peas

When Tesco asked me to try their fresh summer fruit and veg range I noticed a lot of it was on 3 for the price of 2.  Having already picked up some carrot spaghetti I decided to try their freshly packed peas and carrots.   I'll admit I'm not the best when it comes to buying fresh food but carrots are one thing I will buy, all be it, these are normally whole carrots that I prepare myself.
  Peas, unless in pods or sugarsnap, are generally bought frozen.

Tesco Orchard Review: Summer Fruit and Veg - Carrot Spaghetti

Ben is becoming really picky when it comes to veg recently, peas are too green, corn on the cob too hard (he has wobbly teeth) but sweetcorn too boring (unless swimming in butter).  Carrot's are usually too hard or too soft ..... my patience was wearing a little thin.  Tesco were there for me again, carrot spaghetti.  This was something new and therefore something the boys were happy to try, they loved it.
