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...

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...

A garden to die for!

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

...Garden consists of a number of themed gardens, water sculptures - some of which are interactive, woodland walks, visitor centre and cafe and restaurant. Ten years ago the garden site was derelict. Then the Duchess of Northumberland had a vision of creating a garden for families to enjoy, and from this vision, the project began. To this day, things are still being added to the garden, and it is being created by celebrated Belgium designers Jacques and Peter Wirtz. Their unique approach to garden design is rarely seen in public areas, so this garden provides a unique opportunity to see their work. On entering the garden, there seemed to be so much to explore and it was much larger than I imagined. We set about visiting the different gardens and features of the park. THE PAVILION AND VISITOR CENTRE - this contains places to eat, drink, shop...

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...

Gardening for Wildlife

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

...for Thrushes to hammer the living daylights out of snails: you'll know if the birds have had their lunch by the clutter of empty snail shells lying around! A bug box is a good idea, to attract beneficial insects like Lacewings and Ladybirds to your garden - again this is something you can make yourself by cutting short lengths of bamboo or hollow sticks and tying them together in a bundle. Place them in a bush or tree, but don't hide it too well, or the insects might have a job finding it! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *****Conclusion***** Even in the middle of a big city there is still fantastic scope for members of the wildlife population to come and set up home in your garden. And once they're there, they provide immense joy and satisfaction: they also help you to manage pest problems. For me there is nothing...

Busch Gardens

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

.... The area also includes another rollercoaster called SheiKra', which again much like the Egypt rollercoaster is fast paced and exciting. This area, unlike other is more excitement based, rather than animal viewing, but just as exciting. Timbuktu: Timbuktu incorporated both rides and animal observation areas, unlike Stanleyville. We were able to see Elephants, Cheetahs, Buffalos and Wild Rhinos. This area focused more on the larger animals, but was just as exciting. Congo: Again like Stanleyville, Congo was more of a roller coaster and water ride area. Rides included the wild river rapids, and a large roller coaster known as Kumba. Food: Unlike most theme parks, the food at Bush Gardens was exceptional, largely because it themed it around each African setting. In each country the diners would have there special foods which...

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...

Review of Highdown Gardens, Worthing, Sussex

Gardeners Delight

Advantages: Wide range of good quality goods
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

...visited. Pricing is on a par with most pub chains and the food is of a good standard and always piping hot (except the salads). The restaurant is always clean and well presented and the service friendly. OTHER FACILITIES Toilets are provided on site and the times we've visited they've always been spotlessly clean and more than adequately stocked with loo roll and hand soap. The whole garden centre is well set up for wheelchair / pushchair access and any changes in ground level are catered for through the use of ramps. My only possible criticism is that some of the aisles in the indoor part of the centre are a touch on the narrow side and bring many of the products (particularly the breakables), within convenient reach of inquisitive pushchair confined toddlers. On site parking is free and usually ok, but during busier periods can be...

Review of Gardens Of The World (DVD)

Fun for In the Night Garden fans!

Advantages: Colourful
Disadvantages: Expensive

...My niece is really likes the Cbeebies programme ?In the Night Garden? so when I saw this set of characters I decided to buy them for her 4th birthday which was in August. I?m sure everyone is at least vaguely familiar with the show. The In the Night Garden website states that the show is ?best described as a modern televisual interpretation of a nursery rhyme picture book. It is about a magical place that exists between waking and sleeping in a child?s imagination? It?s very popular with young children but most of the adults I know are quite confused by it all. This set of characters is made by Playskool and there are six in the set. They characters included are: Iggle Piggle and his blanket, Makka Pakka, Upsy Daisy, and the three Tombiliboo?s. All the figures are bright and colourful and they all stand up (we needed to try a couple...
