Days Out – Jenny in Neverland

Family friendly outdoor activities *

September 21, 2018September 18, 2018by jennyinneverland6 Comments

I love an outdoor activity. I would much rather spend the day outside in the fresh air than cooped up inside somewhere and almost all of my day out activities – and even holiday activities – will mostly be outside. When I was a kid, my parents took me on plenty of days out and the majority of them I remember (or know from photos) were also outside. I think I was brought up to just enjoy being in the open air, rather than cooped up somewhere warm and stuffy and enjoying what the outdoors has to offer. Which is a lot! I’m still a big kid at heart and I rarely do “grown up” things like go to posh restaurants, go to the theatre or even go shopping anymore! My shopping is done online and my days out are outside and I probably wouldn’t have it any other way.

A day out at Paradise Wildlife Park

October 9, 2017September 6, 2017by jennyinneverland70 Comments

For my birthday this year, my boyfriend and I visited Paradise Wildlife Park for the afternoon. Although somewhere I’ve been more times than I could count, I always enjoy going to Paradise because for me, it’s a form of nostalgia. It’s a place my parents used to take me when was I very little and although obviously it’s been updated a lot over the years, the majority of the format of the park is the same. It’s cute and quaint and a lovely day out – so although it wasn’t an extravagant birthday (just a zoo and a Dominos!) I really enjoyed it and wanted to share some photos and a little bit about the park with you today!

Embracing Formula 1 History at Donington Museum

October 12, 2016March 18, 2017by jennyinneverland21 Comments

If you’re my Twitter friend, you may have noticed that I like Formula 1… A little bit. Okay, a lot. I recently wrote about my first ever Formula 1 experience at the Silverstone mid-season test in August and this month the Formula 1 experiences continued when I made my first ever visit to the Donington Park Formula 1 museum in Derby. This was a belated birthday present from my parents, who kindly paid for my boyfriend and I to stay overnight near the museum and obviously visit the museum itself. I would be super cliché and say I didn’t know what to expect but of course I did know what to expect… Cars. A lot of them.

My First Motorsport Experience: Silverstone F1 Mid-Season Test

August 26, 2016March 18, 2017by jennyinneverland10 Comments

If you follow me on Twitter, you *may* have noticed that I like Formula 1. A lot. You will be inundated with my obsessive tweeting every Formula 1 weekend which range from me frantically trying to find out when the race will be put on catch up to declaring my love for Jenson Button. I’ve not been a motorsport fan for very long – compared to some of my lovely F1 friends I’ve met who have been dedicated fans since they were little – in actual fact, it’s been no time at all. But, since my first glimpse of F1, when my boyfriend set his alarm for 5:30 in the morning to watch the first practice session in Malaysia last year, my interest has piqued and it hasn’t stopped since. I absolutely adore every aspect of Formula 1 as a sport and have made a huge effort to find out as much as I can about the cars, the teams and drivers and the history of this incredibly exciting, intimidating and captivating sport. And this year, I experienced my very first event! Which will hopefully be the first of many.

A Night at ITV: Being in a Studio Audience

May 9, 2016May 1, 2016by jennyinneverland21 Comments

A couple of weeks ago, my boyfriend and I got tickets to be in the studio audience for a filming of a new show for ITV. Neither of us had ever done this before so were weren’t too sure what to expect but we were excited nonetheless! The show being recorded was,The Next Great Magician’ ‘ – a Britain’s Got Talent type show but just for magicians, presented by Stephen Mulhern and Rochelle Humes (who, may I add, is from my hometown). It was a fantastic night and I really wanted to talk about the experience and leave a few tips for anyone who’s thinking of doing the same! (I apologise for the lack of photos in this post but we weren’t allowed to take photos of the studio or the set, obviously).

A Day Out: Colchester Zoo

November 22, 2015November 12, 2015by jennyinneverland13 Comments

Everyone has a handful of places that brings up a whole world of nostalgia for them. One of mine is Colchester Zoo – I could not count the amount of times I’ve been here and have been going here since I was little. I absolutely love the place; it’s got such a gorgeous atmosphere and whatever the weather, you can quite comfortably wander around for the entire day. I visited here a few weeks ago, for the billionth time and I wanted to write a little blog post about the day and share some of the photos I took. Come and join me at Colchester Zoo!

ZSL London Zoo Silent Cinema Experience + Review

May 30, 2014January 24, 2015by jennyinneverland7 Comments

So the other week, Conor and I got tickets for the London Zoo’s outdoor silent cinema experience and for those that don’t know, every day they were showing a different animal-related film on a big screen in the zoo grounds and whichever film you chose, you had a chance to see a specific exhibit in the zoo. I’ve never been to an outdoor cinema before – let alone a silent one so it was a new experience for me. We drove into London, as the film didn’t start until half 8 we could avoid the traffic. We got a bit lost on the way due to Conor’s dodgy sat-nav at ended up on London Bridge.
