This week, we got away from it all! It wasn’t the plan, as the kitchen works were supposed to start much earlier than they actually did, but it was such a relief to escape endless noise, dust, disruption, extension cables and microwave meals!
Here’s our week in pictures…
Day 95 – Sunday 5th April – Easter day. I took some lovely photos, but not only did they all include my kids, they included my niece and new nephew too, so here’s a funny picture of Daisy the guinea pig!
Day 96 – Monday 6th April – we arrived at Center Parcs Longleat Forest! It’s one of our very favourite places to go on holiday.
Day 97 – Tuesday 7th April – a very active day at Center Parcs! I went running, my kids did tree trekking and played tennis, we went swimming in the evening and did an awful lot of walking in between (I did 17, 705 steps walking, not including in the swimming pool or tennis court, plus 5,998 running steps!).
Day 98 – Wednesday 8th April – my mum and dad came to visit us for the day at Center Parcs and we had another lovely day.
Day 99 – Thursday 9th April – we’ve been to Center Parcs many times over the years, but we found a different route to walk in the evening.
Day 100 – Friday 10th April – we said farewell to Center Parcs Longleat Forest, but the younger kids and my husband had time for aqua jetting before we set off for home.
Day 101 – Saturday 11th April – I’m pleased to say that our kitchen has made good progress in our absence. Not too many days to go now!
Linking to Project 365 with TheBoyandMe Pop over to see what others have been doing with their week.

We went to Center Parcs Longleat earlier this year. It is such a gorgeous place, and it looks like you made the most of it! We didn’t get to try aqua jets, but that’s on our list for next time! #365

It is gorgeous, isn’t it? We love it. My kids and husband really enjoyed the aqua jetting 🙂

Aqua jetting sounds fun – had to do a double take initially, thinking that was your husband in the water ha ha! Looks like your kitchen is taking shape 🙂

Center Parcs is brilliant. We haven’t been for a few years and we absolutely loved it 🙂

getting away from the kichen sounds like a great idea. Wow at all the activities, and flipping heck to Tuesdays activity, I bet you slept well that night!!
Always nice when you discover new places in an area you have visited before.
Hope your kitchen does not tae much longer now.
