SAGE’S FIRST SMILE ON CAMERA!Â
Â
Â
Last weekend was the Easter weekend, which meant that James was home with us for 4 whole days! I was feeling rather house bound, so on friday morning I suggested that we head off on a journey.
So we all packed a small weekend bag, lumped Sage into his car seat and head off towards bristol. On the way we came across The Longleat Estate, which had been mentioned on the news as celebrating it’s 40th year anniversary. We decided to be adventurous and admit to a Safari on English soil.

We really enjoyed the experiece of sitting in a traffic jam, whilst looking at the uninterested animals… realising that we could have appreciated ‘Africa’ a great deal more when we were living there.
We spent the first night just outside of Bristol city, and were treated to a Rump steak by Grandpa. It was incredibile seeing the vastness of the City in comparison to Bournemouth, and the engineering that was mastered hundereds of years ago.
 On Saturday we battled to find an internet Cafe’ to book further accomodation, and once achieved – decided to leave Bristol and take Sage on his first Steam Train Trip and River Cruise.
 
The Steam train was a highlight as everything was well kept and romantic. We had a Carraige all to ourselves, and enjoyed Grandpa’s stories of his train trips across Africa.
Â
It was good fun, luckily the weather was so pleasant!
We then headed off to Gloucester for another two nights. It was simply gorgeous, and peaceful. We were away from hustle and bustle, and surrounded by fresh fields with grazing sheep and cows. It was such a lovely way to wind down together, and enjoy Sage’s First Easter! The Easter bunny spoilt him rotten!
