August has ended up being an especially busy month for us even though we’re not on school holidays. It’s not to say we haven’t squeezed in a little fun these past two weeks though. Peppa Pig World and Whipsnade Zoo were definitely the highlights although POD made for a mean pirate!
Welcome to Project 365 | Weeks #33 and #34.
Day 221
One of POD’s friends had a pirate party today. Not only did Daddy make the best costume ever, there was a pirate ship to play on too.
Day 222
A busy day today catching up on lots of admin. Photographed these wonderful Meze headphones for a review, we absolutely love them! We also told POD we were going to Peppa Pig World the following day. She took ages to go to sleep she was so excited.
Day 223
POD announced she loved Peppa Pig World before we’d even entered Paulton’s Park – she squealed when she saw Grandpa Pig! We had the best day seeing the characters, checking out the rides and exploring the gardens. You can read ‘That Moment When They First See Peppa Pig World’ on the Paulton’s Park site.
This is one of the official photographs taken inside Madam Gazelle’s School. Just look at the joy on POD’s face, she can barely contain herself!
Day 224
Back to the usual working routine today. An incredibly busy one but lots done. Came across this beauty when I popped out.
Day 225
The latter part of the week is currently spent working in London. Although not the same as oggling at blooms, I do love the architecture including the old theatres.
Day 226
After work on Thursday, I met up with a friend for dinner near Waterloo. Heading over the bridge it was inevitable rain was on its way!
Day 227
It’s great spotting blooms in London, few and far between usually. Every now and again you get a wonderful surprise like this one.
Day 228
It was a day of playing catch-up today. Daddy kept POD entertained with a spot of animal sticking in preparation for our trip to Whipsnade Zoo.
Day 229
Today we were able to surprise POD with a TOMY Stack Track. She loves Chuggington and was so excited when the first track was built. It provided hours of fun and we’re looking forward to putting it through its paces!
Day 230
Today was my birthday so we headed over to Whipsnade Zoo in Buckinghamshire. I used to visit as a child and have been itching to go back. It was far grander than I imagined and having the access we had to the animals was great. I loved this giraffe, probably the best eyelashes ever!
The lions were amazing too. I had a feeling this chap would turn around so I just stood with my camera attached to my face until he did. It’s almost like he saw me! I absolutely loved photographing the larger animals
and POD had a great time too. Here she is doing her best roar ever!
Day 231
A hectic day today but a good one with lots done before the week’s commute to London.
Day 232
I lived in London for 20 years before moving to Surrey. Every now and again I see something I’ve not seen before. Like a restaurant absolutely surrounded with flowers and arches made of leaves. In Drury Lane of all places.
Day 233
In London slightly later than usual tonight following a drink after work.
Day 234
St Lincolns Inn, one of four Inns of Court in London, is such a peaceful place to walk through after work. Hard to believe it’s just off Chancery Lane.
Day 235
Today we embarked on a spot of blackberry picking. POD began by helpfully holding the bowl over her head, it didn’t last long. We did make a fabulous crumble though – blackberry, apple and raspberry. Yum yum!
