Surprise Picnic Party and Pushbikes
There's nothing like a Birthday Party on a summers eve to create happy memories. On Friday a group of my closest friends and their offspring got together in a glorious walled garden at the National Trusts Ickworth House.
Bunting adorning the garden, pimms, homemade lemonade and laughter made for one of the happiest summer evenings I've enjoyed.
...we stole into the garden laden with gifts and full of laughter, decorated the summer house and awaited our friend....
Pushbikes were disgarded as the excitement to share picnics and greet friends filled the air.
A lakeside retreat
The beautiful setting boasted a summerhouse and ornamental lake with stunning waterlillies -perfect for girls 'of a certain age' to sit back and enjoy... despite the odd shower or two...
The combination of a stunning secret garden, pushbikes packed with scrummy food and new Birthday Shoes was like magic...

Fun and frolic's in Backyergardia
Anyone with a love of the countryside and a gaggle of teenagers will more than likely be contemplating the great outdoors this summer. Glamping is becoming a new way to while away idle hours planning, creating and spending to get that desired retro look!
With a spare few hours on Friday evening and a house full of charming if excitable teenagers we decided to Glamp in style this weekend, in Backyergardia (our hidden, exclusive gem).
The peace and tranquility of canvas and fresh air seemed the ideal solution to calm our gang.
Bliss in Backyergardia
Having the perfect surroundings, superb showers, cooking facilities and ample open fields we enjoyed a laid back weekend of fresh air and pushbike cycling without the need for travel! Any well respected camper knows the stress of 'tent up' on arrival, with fellow campers keeping a watchful, discerning eye. No pressure this Friday, when to our delight everyone joined in and helped unpack and set up...that's a first!
Ideal festival, party or summer holiday partner our Pushbikehoney retro tent easily sleeps 8 people and has the added advantage of height and an unzipable ground sheet.
Sleeping 'in the round' brings back happy childhood memories of campfires and outdoor sleeping. For one night it certainly did the trick and we soon succumbed to childish giggles and teenage banter.
Toasted marsh mellows, original 1930's bunting (family attic) superb retro pushbikes and country lanes provided one of the best weekends this year.
Thumbs up to Glamping!
