Horrible Histories.. Vile Victorians

Instead of going to a pantomime this year we chose to go and see Horrible Histories.. Vile Victorians Live on Stage. 
Dr Dee reports tales of the Victorian times with loads of toilet humour, facts, singing and dancing and 3D Effects.
It was a fun, educational performance focusing on all the vile elements of the Victorian Times such as ..Baby Farmers, poo sticks, toilet boxes [The poo box], mines, factories.. 
The youngest dodger refused to put his glasses on at one point as the flying 3D Rats seemed a little too realistic at one stage. I think he was a little scared and didn't want to admit it, bless him!
This performance as you can image went down well with the Dodger boys!... toilet humour is quite popular in our household!
If it's on in your area we definitely give it the thumbs up!

Food & Craft Fair

Over the weekend we also managed to visit a local food and craft fair www.coedydinas.co.uk with lots of yummy handmade treats... beers and crafts.
 Yummy.. It was not a good idea to visit over lunch time, it made me more hungry!
They had the biggest meringues I had ever seen!


It was lovely to see lots of people supporting local businesses. 
We loved the ginger bread men so much that we were going to plan to make some later that day when we got home.. but just ran out of time! We have not been forgiven for this! 
We spotted Emma Bridgewater wellibobs! Love.. love.. love Emma B.
Hearts : - ) and then..
Glorious Spots... when will the starry sky pattern be available?

Emma Bridgewater is definately worth visiting as adults or with kids. 
I had one  my best birthdays visiting the www.emmabridgewater.co.uk Factory @ Stoke on tent- where a group of close friends drank coffee painted pottery and ate cake! Perfect! They now have a spotty aga where they bake food for the cafe and have big leather sofas to relax in. So you must give it a try.

Birmingham.. Frankfurt Christmas Market

 Loads of magical log cabins lined the streets of Birmingham.. selling Hot chocolate,
German mulled wine, German beers, traditional sausages, meats, sweets, marzipan's, breads, pastries and lots more.
Christmas has definitely started early for the Davies family this year.
 I'm really getting in the Christmas mood
 I cant wait to get my Christmas tree up... I know it's bonkers!


 




We couldn't pass this stall without having a little taster.. Warm Nuttella poured over mini pancakes was the overall winner!


How delicious do these little babies look? Again the hearts just caught my eye!

Star Lights.. looked so pretty and really effective. 

Custard Factory





Custard Factory


We had an exciting weekend visiting The Custard Factory in Birmingham... its an arts and media centre full of quirky shops,  cafes/bars and creative bods........its also a short walk from the Bull Ring...  with some really interesting retro shops along the way. Lucky for me!  It was actually built 100 years ago by Sir Alfred Bird, the inventor of custard and is now being lovingly restored for the creative. 
The picture above is in the reception of the new phase Zellig... just amazing
 I love it!




Even the office doors have the fabulous Banksy prints on them "Girl with Balloon"

Hearts my favourite!


The boys were very nervous crossing the glass bridge ... I must say it did make my heart flutter!


Random... but ever so clever!
