In the night garden ninky nonk train set

Advantages: strong, versatile, compact, nice bright colours, fun to play with
Disadvantages: none so far

...I decided to buy the in the night garden ninky nonk train set from Amazon as my young daughter is a big fan of in the night garden and whenever it comes on TV she gets really excited. So as my daughter already had some of the other characters from the show I wanted her to have the whole set and since buying it the train set the ninky nonk train set has become one of her favourite toys to play with on a daily basis. The train set can come apart and be attached on many different ways and my daughter enjoys looking at the nice bright colours and putting some of the other in the night garden characters onto the train set even though it keeps falling of now and again it keeps her busy and sometimes I hear her in fits of giggles. The train set is very cute and versatile and its great as children such as mine can have hours of fun with it...

Studio - Excellent Catalogue / Website

Advantages: Loads of gift ideas & cheaper than most shops
Disadvantages: Sometimes delivery can take a long time

...the sites I looked where £65 per set but on Studio they where only £32.99 so I got my two sets for what I would have been paying for one & they are also on Quidco so you get can even more money back buy going through them. The catalogue has loads and loads of choices from Garden Furniture, clothes, electricals, toys & games, homeware & gifts (the list goes on). If you are looking for a little something for a birthday, new baby etc this is a good site to look at because you can get a lot of personalised gifts on it so you can have mugs, photo frames, towels etc etc with the persons name on it. You can order a couple of different ways, either pick something out of the catalogue & fill in the order form they send with it & post it off or you can go onto there website www.24studio.co.uk & order it through there. You can also pay for everthing...

A LIVING CATALOGUE

Advantages: Plenty of choice with beautiful gardens to wander through
Disadvantages: Little seating and somewhat more expensive than your average garden centre

...My very first visit to Bridgemere Garden World was during late summer, 2001. I?d recently moved to South Cheshire and having seen the ads in the local newspaper decided that I wanted to visit what sounded like one humungous garden centre! Even so, I can honestly say that I hadn?t anticipated anything quite as large as Bridgemere. Covering more than 6 acres, this is a gardener?s dream come true! Thousands upon thousands of plants are for sale and, best of all in my opinion, there are extensive gardens that act as a living catalogue! During spring the azaleas and rhododendrons are alive with colour, closely followed by poppies in all sorts of colours and other early summer perennials. Shrubs and ornamental trees are grown for display and there are also some made up gardens from which one can gain new inspirations. There?s a cottage...

The Spice Garden - No Garden, Plenty of Spice

Advantages: Light airy conservatory, pleasant service, good value for money
Disadvantages: Nothing out of the ordinary

...Another week brought another visit from my hungry curry-loving colleague Joep. I had no plans for the evening and asked if he wanted to have dinner. His eyes lit up; "Can we have curry?" he asked excitedly. And so at around 6.30pm we left the office to go in search of a new curry restaurant that we'd not tried before. I'd spotted the Spice Garden on my way to work that morning and decided that this time it would get our custom. The world (well the UK anyway ? and India, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc?..you get what I mean) is full of curry restaurants and in the middle of a recession we should spread our pennies around and try to support a new one each time until we run out or get food poisoning. I got lucky and found a parking space right in front of the restaurant. It's on New Chester Road in Bromborough, about a mile off the M53, close...

A garden to die for!

Advantages: Plenty to see and do for both adults and children
Disadvantages: None

...The Alnwick Garden in Northumberland is a really lovely place to visit, as I discovered recently when in the area. I had decided to visit on the recommendation of a friend who had recently spent a day there, and had spent quite a while telling me about it afterwards. I was intrigued to find out more and visit here myself, as although I live in the North East and have visited many places in Northumberland, I had never visited The Alnwick Garden. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HOW TO GET THERE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Alnwick Garden is situated just off the A1 at Alnwick in Northumberland, and is well signposted if travelling by car. Buses connect Alnwick to surrounding towns and also Newcastle. If travelling by train, the east coast line stops at Alnmouth which is 4 miles away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE ALNWICK GARDEN ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Alnwick...

Gardening for Wildlife

Advantages: Encourages a mini eco-system right on your doorstep
Disadvantages: Does involve a small amount of effort!

...It is a widely held belief that gardening is good for you. It is good exercise, it builds confidence and self-esteem, and it promotes a sense of inner peace like nothing else on earth. In short, it can heal the mind and soothe the soul and really should be handed out in blocks of 1 hour on prescription in place of chemicals and drugs that fool your brain into thinking you are fine. I am a great believer in gardening for good health, and, having been treated for depression last year, have found my garden the most therapeutic and important element of my healing process. My garden is an oasis of cool, soft-edged light, filtering through trees and climbers. Gentle sounds of wind chimes and bells ring out through the space, and although I am close to a busy main road, you wouldn't know, for the air is clear and quiet. It is the most...

Busch Gardens

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...Well having wanted to visit Busch Gardens on a number of occasions and unfortunately not being given the chance, I felt I had to visit the place during my recent visit to Florida. I had always heard mix reactions about the theme park, some complimenting it, whilst other simply saying it was not there thing. Nevertheless, I was still determined to visit it, at least once to squash the rumours and determine for myself whether this place was thumbs up or thumbs down. History of Bush Gardens Africa (Tampa Bay): Bush Gardens is the name of two of the biggest theme parks in America, one in Tampa Bay, Florida, and the other one in Williamsburg, Virginia. Bush Gardens is currently owned by Busch Entertainment Corporation. Busch Gardens Africa was first opened in 1959, and was a 340 acre African themed, safari park. The park was...

This track is about a woman who feels unloved and uncared for so she keeps away from human affection. The track's theme is a futuristic hyperbole but it is a very romantic song. I like the intro that has a robotic sound effect which is followed...

The Garden on the Downs

Advantages: Easy to get to and small and shady enough to enjoy without getting exhausted in the heat.
Disadvantages: Hilly in places.

...This is a real gem of a West Sussex garden, particularly so because you don?t have to pay to look at it! A few facts about the Garden:- Highdown Gardens was created 90 years? ago by Sir Frederick and Lady Stern who set out to prove that you could grow a garden on chalk. The garden was built in an old chalkpit that looked over the South Downs, and the chalk sides of the pit give a very attractive backdrop to some parts of the garden. All the plants and trees growing there are tolerant of soil that is very alkali and the gardens have been given a ?green flag? status by the Civic Trust and regarded as a National Collection. As a general rule, I?m not very interested in formally planted gardens. I love the ?rough and tumble? colour and shape of informal and wild flower gardens. Highdown Gardens suits me. There are lots...
