Visiting Puzzlewood, Magical Woodland in The Forest of Dean

Visiting Puzzlewood, Magical Woodland in The Forest of Dean

Puzzlewood claims to be “a magical woodland in the Forest of Dean.” As we were staying in the area for the weekend we thought we’d head over to check out the magical claims for ourselves. We were staying in The Forest of Dean, at Whitemead Forest Holiday Park using Nanny and Grandad’s motorhome. Our annual insurance, that we got on the motorhome, for our trip to Blackpool last year, was about to run out so we thought we’d best make the use of it.

Date Night Dining at Aluna, Birmingham

We were recently invited by Aluna, Birmingham to review their new menu. With baby number 2 due in 6 weeks time, we jumped at the chance. We normally try to have a date night once a month and take it in turns to organise. Although, this may have to take a back seat for a while after baby’s arrival. Aluna is situated within the Mailbox in Birmingham, a hot spot for trendy restaurants and bars. I’d heard of Aluna previously, mostly for their reputation of magical cocktail concoctions, but hadn’t got round to visiting.  Upon arrival we were shown to…
