A trip to Wayne Manor...

So for any non batman fans such as myself, Wollaton Hall in Nottingham is where the filming took place for the batman movie.

We are trying to visit new places in and around where we live and as soon as Kelly found out it is where Batman was filmed, it was a must see!

I remember going when was a child, but if i'm honest i just remember walking around the lake, feeding the ducks....and eating most of the bread!

Wether you are into old building's and the architecture they bring, you can't deny how impressive this building is...it's just so grand!

 Also, can we please just take a moment to appreciate how far you have to walk to actually reach the house...this picture does not do it justice!!!

Whilst having a little walk around the grounds, we stumbled across a Table Tennis table. Now you may or may not know but my better half is currently England's Number 1 table tennis player so she was more than happy to jump on the table and have a little knock with me!

Goes without saying that i won...her face says it all! Nah i joke, although i did get one cheeky little point which resulted in huge celebrations on my part! This picture just makes me smile as I could definitely claim victory!!

This is Kelly writing this little line (as i have stolen Laura's laptop) I can confirm that I definitely did win and that she lost :) anyway back to Laura......

So on our way back towards the car we came across these incredible animals...Just chilling in the grounds. Although not tame they are clearly used to the public being around all the time as they didn't even blink the closer i got.

If you ever get opportunity to visit Wollaton Hall, I highly recommend it, the link to their website can be found here 

Where's your favourite haunts? Anywhere to recommend a visit to??



There's always time for a selfie! xx

Bounce....take 2!

Hiya!

So in 2012, in the aftermath of the London Olympics, a brand new concept was being created...and with it came 'Bounce London'!

I was lucky enough to be part of the openings team and watched it go from an old dis used warehouse into an incredible Ping Pong bar and restaurant complete with an Olympic 2012 table and many others!

Anyway following the success of Bounce.....Bounce Shoreditch was born!!!

Both me and Kelly were lucky enough to get an invite to the press opening - I'd love to say it was all because of me, but i think Kelly's medals and Olympic status may of swung the deal!

Shoreditch for anyone who doesn't know the area is a very arty side of London - its full of incredible street art and pop up shops, so the concept inside needed to change from the holborn site to suit it's surroundings.

WOW...it's all I can say...WOW

With a huge restaurant area with some very tasty pizzas's ( I can personally vouch for the goats cheese one!! )

A private hire room, over 12 table tennis tables, a huge bar and even larger cocktail list...and so much more, it's a completely different night out!

With guest DJ's every weekend and staying open until 1am...you can challenge your friends at Table tennis...eat too much...try out the cocktails and dance until your feet hurt! 

It does get incredibly busy so you might wait on tables at peak times, but honestly...it's worth the wait. 

We had an amazing time and I can't recommend it highly enough...so if you live in London or are just visiting, make sure you pop in and have a look for yourself!
