This past weekend my daughter and I went away, we were supposed to take my husband too but he was rushed into hospital last Thursday with Meningitis and was unable to come. He insisted that Boo and I should go anyway. So first thing Saturday morning we said our goodbyes to my husband and the in-laws who were staying over to look after him and made our way to our coach.

It was a long journey and when we arrived at Legoland it was drizzling. It didn’t deter us though and soon we were romping around and discovering all the lego surprises Legoland had to offer.

These were some of the first guys we bumped into and as we walked past, they serenaded us with a Chorus of ‘We will Rock You’.

One of my favourite parts of the park was Miniland where several Cities were reproduced in Lego. First we found London and the Mini Big Ben was breath taking!

I loved the little Wembley Stadium too, my favourite part was the little naked lego Streaker in the back corner!

Another highlight of the day for both my daughter and I was the excavation tent. From the outside it was pretty unassuming and it looked to be, possibly a real archaeological dig so we went to investigate. What it in fact it turned out to be was an opportunity to dig up some Ancient Egyptian Treasure. This was a very clever idea and Boo loved it as they’re learning all about the Ancient Egyptians in School.

I think it says a lot about me that one of my favourite lego pieces was in fact the sign for the toilets. And Yes, I did take a photo of it!

The firework display in the evening was spectacular! I am afraid I have no photos as I was too busy enjoying them. My favourites were the ones that exploded then trickled down like waterfalls in the Sky.

The next day we visited London and got a small guided tour by our coach driver. It was very interesting and we got to compare the mini Big Ben to Big Ben in the Flesh!

We disembarked at Marble Arch and went to do some shopping before enjoying an hour in Hyde Park watching the world go by and listening to the various people on their soapboxes (well, step ladders mostly) at Speakers Corner.

Then we walked past the Marble Arch once more to get the coach home.

It was a great weekend and very tiring! I hope you enjoyed my edited highlights. :)

It’s funny where blog inspiration hits. I had just taken out a plastic tub full of Morrocan lentil soup from the fridge for my lunch when the magnets displayed there caught my eye and I wondered what other people’s fridges look like.

So, I’ve eaten my lentil soup (lunch) and I’ve taken some photos of my fridge and some close ups of a few of my favourite magnets to share with you. I hope you will share photos of your fridges with me or at least describe them to me in the comments. Are they sparkly and clean? As blank as the day you bought it or dotted with magnets? I want to know, I’m nosey like that.

So this is my fridge:

And looking at that I can tell it’s time for a wipe down! Aren’t you amazed by how dirty hands actually are? That white fridge seems to stay clean for only a matter of minutes at a time. *L*

And here are a few of my favourite fridge highlights!

Our fire alarm is too sensitive, no really it is. I’m not *that* bad of a cook. The forever friend bears are magnetic representations of the husband and I. He’s the bear with the mug of tea and I’m the bear with the rose. So now you know!

We tend to pick up magnets on holiday and here’s one from the best place on earth:

Scarborough!

Another magnet picked up on holiday. I brought this home for my husband from my trip to Disneyland Paris in August. The photo in the frame is from when we went to Llandudno for a day out.

And lastly, even my fridge loves a bit of Blisse!

So now, tell me about your fridge, post photos or paint a picture with your words. I’m curious. You could even blog about it, if you do, send me a link so I can check it out!

Maybe next week I’ll show you the contents of my fridge!

Pop on over to the Total-E-Bound blog and find out why I’m so excited today!

It just might have a little something to do with this:
