This Sunday Reggie wanted to hit the streets as Batman… It’s great being a kid, isn’t it?!

Reggie’s actual birthday was spent at Loveland Farm. This amazing eco farm is run by Jeff and Karina who also own fashion brand, Griffin. Well worth a visit if you fancy spending time in the country away from all the hustle bustle of the city!

As a pre-cursor to Reggie turning 5 (and with one eye on the summer holidays) we decided to throw Regfest! in the local park. We didn’t quite expect the turnout – 100 people, hotdogs, beer (adults only!), along with lots of games, music and good weather…

… We were asked if we could make it an annual thing… Oh, okay then!

This Sunday we visited Nightshayes Court – a country estate on a grand, Gothic scale. Whilst there, we came across the most amazing kids play area. Formed from 4 huge trees there was plenty to do; including being able to crawl through the middle of one of them!

Well worth a visit.

Upfest was on this weekend in Bristol; Europes largest street art festival

Whilst walking around, we stumbled upon Morph! He was was created by Peter Lord and David Sproxton to feature in the children’s programme Take Hart alongside the artist and presenter Tony Hart. Peter and David made a very simple terracotta-coloured figure who could change shape, and because he could metamorphose they called him Morph.

This Sunday was partly spent patrolling the streets with Bobby aka Reggie. He took great pride in ensuring people were behaving themselves at every set of traffic lights, along with commentating on peoples driving : )

This Sunday was spent treading the boards of local shopping mall, Cribbs Causeway. Austin was fascinated by the fountain which is a central feature to the mall, squirting water 30+ ft in the air!

A rare Sunday escape to enjoy a few local beers with friends. New Bristol Brewery have some great beers on offer. And being locally brewed, means we get to enjoy them regularly : )

Holidaying in Brittany meant a visit to Pont-Aven. Pont-Aven, named after the river that runs through it, was known for its mills and its port. With the advent of the railways along came tourism and in the 1860s some American painters discovered the village. Word spread throughout the artistic community about its merits and in 1886 Paul Gauguin arrived for the first of several stays; in 1888 he met fellow artist Émile Bernard and the École de Pont-Aven art movement, which focused on colour and symbolism, was born.

This weekend we took to the sea and our holiday to France. 10 days away to re-charge the batteries was very welcoming; as well as splashing around in the pool followed by a few cold beers!

Fathers day: And what better way to spend it than with family. A lovely day out having a bite to eat and stroll in the country.

Happy fathers day to all the dads out there!
