a week at elveden centre parcs

some of you may have already caught wind of this fact. We went mid week to the Elveden site
and had a truly brilliant time for Evie's 2nd birthday. And it was cheap! A mere £230 for 4 adults
and 1 nipper for 5 days. Our villa was lush too. A new style executive lodge which had ensuite
bathrooms (a whirlpool in ours) nicely decorated, flat screens in the bedrooms, wine fridge, daily
maid service and a fire. Lovely.
We swam every day and took Evie down the slides and lazy river, we bowled, walked, took Evie for ride's on her new bike.
(We bought her the Radio Flyer foldable trike which is brilliant and she loves it) Ate great food and drunk a bit too much alcohol!
We did take Evie to a Messy Time session on her birthday where she happily painted many, many, many pictures and glued many
things to pieces of paper. All the fun she had made her sleep a lot!! And she met many new friends.....especially boys.
I think we'll be in for trouble later on! So I couldn't recommend the place enough if you have nippers. I will definitely be heading
to the Spa next time we go too.
The only thing I was perturbed about...which may be a bit shallow....was just the state society is getting into. The amount of man
boobs, great big belly's and ginormous rolls we saw, whilst swimming, was quite unbelievable. Even the squirrels there are fat!!
They'll happily steal your food out of your hand. Our diets truly are wreaking havoc upon our bodies and health.It's quite sad and
I think food education should really start in school. Anyway I'm going off on a tangent and you don't want me getting all
evangelistic about health on you.
Here are some nice photos to look at instead.
Lovely photos. Looks and snouds like you had a great time. The villa looks gorgeous!!In the 8 years I’ve been with my husband we’ve been to Centre Parcs 7 times! We first took Charles in October/November 2009 when he was 5 months old then whilst we were there booked our next holiday there, in the same villa, four months later!We only go to Longleat even though Elveden is considerably closer. But it is too close to the In Laws so we’d never go.Its so expensive now that this will be the first year we haven’t gone. I’m quite gutted. I loved our tradition of going there.
Sounds a brilliant place for families.
Shame about the moobs, but that’s life these days – men can’t all be as lovely as Evie’s Dad & Grandad :)!
Love your blog and your model in the pics! Your comments about “big” people and then Evie stuffing her face with a bun the size of the moon – what’s that all about! xxxxx
