I don't often go out without my kids, and those rare occasions when I do, are special. It's nice to have an adult conversation without being interrupted every few seconds. For my birthday at the end of February my husband took me out to The Wild Boar restaurant in Witney.

It's lovely to see our linky's regulars visiting new places of interest and sampling new foods.
Samantha from North East Family Fun took her kids to The Bowes Museum. They admired the vintage costumes and old paintings, and had a good giggle at the modern piece of art. But was has set them off laughing? Well, you'll just have to visit the blog to find it out.

While the sun was out (a rarity last month indeed), Vicky the Honest Mum also took her family to Yorkshire Sculpture Park to admire the nature, find new exhibits and have a picnic. Sounds perfect.
I told you Vicky has been out and about a lot. She and her family spent a half-break term by the Yorkshire coast. They enjoyed the scenic views and delicious ice cream, but more importantly, spent time together with the family who visited from abroad. Those times together with the family living abroad are so precious, as I know only too well.

When her daughter Juliette was visiting the three-master Duchesse Anne in Dunkirk's maritime museum with her class, she convinced Cheryl from Madhouse Family Reviews to come along as a parent supervisor. Kids dressed up in vintage-style naval uniforms, and learnt about the knots. Mum had a great time as well.
Eileen from ET Speaks from Home has visited Warwick Castle before but her family always discover new things to learn and things to do every time they visit it, so they go there again and again. There is a thrilling experience of the dungeons for the adults and playing in the Mike the Knight tents for younger audience. And the sandwiches and pastries look mighty enticing as well after all the hard work.
When I started to read a blog post by Erica from 92three30, I confess I had to do a double-take, as she visited Warwick Castle as well, and it looks like she admired exactly the same display of pastries and sandwiches. She was fascinated by the audio-visual experience in the Time Tower at Warwick, and it sounds like something I would love to do as well.
Zoe from Splodz Blogz is training for the Lyke Wake Walk in June, and has been walking around Lincoln, exploring the beautiful countryside. She is one lucky girl to have all these gorgeous places at her doorstep.
I haven't had a chance to do any special outdoorsy activities in March, though in the last couple of days we visited the Blenheim Park and Burford Garden Centre, so expect to see lots of photos very soon. I did enjoy some me-time in the local cafes though, and recently my friend Jen and I sampled hot-cross buns in Costa. I know it sounds very tame in comparison to all the great outdoors, but then a nice cup of coffee and a pastry is pretty good too.
