Parc Oiseaux

This was a FANTASTIC  day! It's the only day trip we took this time, which suited the kids well. It was more than an hours drive each way and there's only so much driving they are willing to put up with on a daily basis and they had much prefered to swim in the lakes. But this was well worth the drive. We chose this because Jack loves all animals, Tom has a bitof a thing for Flamingoes, and Georgie just LOVES ducks (and apparently parrots, which he also shouted "Quack! Quack!" at)

Parc Oiseaux is more than just a bird park, it's the size of a ZOO! If you are ever in the Ain region of France I strongly suggest you check it out. We were there most of the day and didn't get to see everything, or take in the shows, feedings, or even the train ride. The kids want to go again next time we visit my Dad. The enclosures are huge, the animals very well looked after, and there are play areas and cafes and toilets dotted around.

Jack loved seeing the parrots and got to feed these beautifully coloured little birds. Tom got the chance to feed them but was a little too shy to actually do it. George refused to be held and wriggled free of our arms to potter about and take a closer look at them, getting as close as he could - which was very very close since they were soooo tame! It was a perfect day out for them!

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
