This weekend, it was my thirty-sixth birthday. A couple of days before, I treated myself to Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? by Dr Julie Smith.

The day before my birthday, on a sunny Friday, my good friend Simon and I visited Walton Hall & Gardens.

Walton Hall & Gardens is a park with a café, crazy golf course and a children’s petting zoo.

Essential Info

  • Walton Hall & Gardens is a park with a café, crazy golf course and a children’s petting zoo.
  • The Hall is often hired out for events such as weddings; but the café, crazy golf course and petting zoo are all open to the public.
  • It has a pay and display carpark.
  • It has toilets.
  • It has gardens that are best viewed in the Spring due to when the flowers are in bloom.
  • The café, crazy golf and children’s petting zoo have various opening times that can be viewed here.
  • The petting zoo is in the process of being revamped and therefore the only animals currently available to view were peacocks, alpacas, rabbits and ducks.

Here are some photos from Walton Hall & Gardens:

On the Saturday, my actual birthday, I spent time with my brother, his wife and my nephew.

On the Sunday, my good friend Jayne and I went out for tea.

Blog soon,

The Wedding That Finally Happened – A Delightful Day & Entertaining Evening at Peckforton Castle

By Friends & Family, Happiness & Joy, Life, Love & RelationshipsNo Comments

COVID delayed a lot of social events, one of them was my brother’s Wedding to his gorgeous fiancée. Two years have gone by, but the Wedding finally happened on 10/04/2022 at the stunning Peckforton Castle in Cheshire.

Everything about the day and evening was special, enjoyable and magical. It was a celebration of their love and what a celebration it was!

The day started in the early afternoon with the Wedding Ceremony. Then photos with canapés. Next was the Wedding Breakfast with plenty of wine, funny speeches and some entertainment from a magician.

Here are some photos of the table plan, table display and sweet cart:

The evening was mainly drinks and dancing, but we were treated to a surprise fire dancer to.

Here is the obligatory selfie:
