Berkeley’s Cattle Country Adventure Park is one of those places that we visit year after year. Cattle Country has a good mixture of indoor and outdoor activities which cater for the needs of a range of children’s ages. 2014 has seen some changes with the brand new beach barn and the interactive park map.

Just an ordinary day in Tewkesbury as Mr Blobby takes the children to school! Actually it was a mini practise (school) run, which also aimed to raise awareness of Sport Relief. It was my turn to take part in the Team Honk Relay. Dressed in a Mr Blobby costume I was to take the Baton from Sarah in Gotherington … Read more

There was the villain to boo at Abanazar (or-have-a-banana) played by Jeffrey Harmer. My three year old really enjoyed Booing! Lots of comedy with PC Ping Pong (played by … Read more
