One place we really wanted to visit on our trip to Weymouth this summer was Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens. There’s so much to do in and around Abbotsbury and we’d bookmarked to go to the gardens and Abbotsbury Swannery on the same day.

A Picnic at Buckingham Palace Garden – London
This summer, Buckingham Palace opened their gardens for the first time to allow visitors to have a picnic on the lawn of the most famous palace in the world. We’ve never been to Buckingham Palace, only ever seeing it through the gates. So, as soon as I saw that tickets were released I booked them

A lovely day at Blenheim Palace – Oxfordshire
We last went to Blenheim Palace six years ago, when Little Man wasn’t quite two and we were in the days of pushchairs and changing bags. I couldn’t wait to see what Blenheim Palace was like with LP and Little Man being so much older.
