I’m so glad we did, as we had such a lovely day out, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again soon – especially as we can return for free within 7 days using our ticket voucher.
After all the amazing sunshine we’ve had recently, we were a bit gutted when the weather turned just in time for May half term. But we’re pretty used to this weather now, so we haven’t let it stop our plans with friends.

My 10-year-old son is completely sports-mad, but rugby isn’t really his thing either....
We had a rare teacher training day this week, so, along with some friends, we decided to pack up a picnic, our bikes, and a change of clothes and head out to the River Dart Country Park for the day.
