Spring is around the corner!

We have had some lovely sunny days recently and what better thing to do is get some fresh air with a walk along the cliff tops. Dylan is certainly enjoying it. It was such a lovely day and there was certainly plenty of other people enjoying the seaside views.

What else I love about this time of year is the types of flowers emerging for spring! My nan's garden especially displays this with many snow drops and crocus'. They were certainly catching some rays.

How gorgeous are these berries? I have also seen some daffodils emerging! So gorgeous! 

If you follow my blog you will see I go to Burton Agnes a lot. Its nearly time for their annual Orchid Festival. I am hoping to go again so will post some pictures for you to see. They are always great for inspiration. 

Newcastle and The Baltic!

Also last week whilst on my trip to Newcastle I went to visit the gorgeous Baltic. If you ever visit Newcastle this is a MUST place to visit! The view alone inside and around the Baltic is beautiful in its self!

One exhibition which caught my eye was the work of Fabrice Hyber. His current exhibition was being built as we visited but unfortunately opened the day after in which I had returned home. 

The Baltic Guide for the exhibition states: "Using a vast array of materials, Fabrice Hyber makes each of his works in response to another. considering works incomplete without and audience much of his exhibition is interactive, allowing his work to be engaged with ever-changing ways." 

I got so excited when the gallery assistant explained some of the pieces you could interact with I am definitely going to have another visit north to see it (I won't tell you what and spoil it for you). The Exhibition is on from 22nd March to 30th June 2013. It was great though to see the work of an exhibition being built. Here I put my paparazzi skills in place again with a quick snap on the man himself. Maybe I'm in the wrong career? :)

The Snowdrop Spectacular!

Sometimes pictures say everything. So for this blog post, I will let you enjoy the lovely pictures from my trip to the 'Snowdrop Spectacular' at Burton Agnes Hall. 

Dylan was ready for a sit down after all that walking.

David Hockney... Eat your heart out!

After looking at the vintage cars we went for a short walk in the woods at Burton Agnes Hall. Again, I spent alot of my childhood playing in these woods and when my nan was last here with my younger brother they bumped into David Hockney! It's easy to tell why, at this time of year the woodland is becoming full of life and is SO green!

Things are starting to bloom.....

A Little Trip to Dalby Forest!

How fab are these wood carvings! On sunday I went on a little visit to one of my favourite places- Dalby Forest! As I child I used to go with friends and family and now being a 'big kid' its still just as fun.

Spring is in full bloom!

In some areas it was so quiet it was beautiful. It took me back to when me and Anni was on Safari, when your just sat so quiet in the middle of the countryside you can hear everything. Very relaxing! I do wonder when this lovely weather will come to a stand still.... April showers anyone?

Sewerby Park and Gardens!

If you ever visit Bridlington I recommend you visit Sewerby. I used to spend alot of my childhood playing here as it also has a lovely children's play area. Along with the zoo as blogged about earlier there is also some fantastic gardens and woodland, aswell as the Hall. Here, are some of my favourite snaps.

A cheeky picture of us!

Update of the Last Week Coming Up! Part 3.

Aswell as visiting Scarborough I also took the girls to visit Sewerby Park which is just on the outskirts of Bridlington. They have a small zoo which I wasn't sure if would be open yet but it was! Below are a few shots of the animals we saw.

This rather large pig smiled nicely for the camera. Sewerby Zoo is known for its group of penguins and they was very cute. I think they thought we had come to feed them as they were all ready at their door and sticking their heads through the gap in the gate!

You all know how I love birds, and the zoo has a fantastic selection, different types with some fantastic bold colours.

This little emu really wanted a bite of Anni.
