Well what is this all about then??  The bright colours the strange inflatable the weird alien noises.

Welcome to Colourscape

This is a large inflatable sculpture of psychedelic labyrinths with injections of light fantastic, amazing atmospheres to escape into a parallel space with a unique sound of weird and beautiful music.  

It really is like stepping into another world of psychedelia and you might be excused into thinking you stepped into a scene of the 1970's Barbarella with large neon tunnels to wandering around. The girls were really taken with it, Ella adored the bright colours and soft squishy bouncy floor, As did Sophie who loved being able to run about, up and down the twisting tunnels, being chased and chasing daddy.  Even though this bright inflatable world seemed alien is was strangely comforting and safe feeling.

Sophie at the end of a tunnel

Around the labyrinth strangle and wonderful music floated around in the air.  Down one of the tunnels we found this lady wandering around playing on a strange instrument

Later the music changed to something totally different but outer worldly and at the end of a white tunnel was a large white bubble room where we found a man twiddling dials and playing music through his computer, doesn't he look great.  Just the perfect man to find down a strange tunnel!!

There was more music from another man who played a base flute the instrument below

The girls now have colourscape top of their list for Christmas !!! 

Wet day at Waddesdon

The weather man says its raining but we don't want to hear no complaining we sure the sun will shine!!

Ok so it is raining not any sort of pitter patter full on drowning cats and dogs, so what do you do ??  Well if you lived with us you would pack up a picnic and head for Waddesdon!!  Yes we are full on hardcore no thunderstorm will stop us having fun and oh yes there was THUNDER!! so after laying out the picnic under a tree (dumb arses sheltering under a tree in a thunder storm snacking on scotch eggs and strawberries) the rain got worse that our french stick got soggy enough to pack away.  However my Hubby got his priorities in place as i packed away and covered the baby he grabbed the cheesy Doritos and covered them under his brolly.

After a good hour and half being soggy and wet the sun finally decided it would make an appearance and we got to explore the garden if you remeber my post from a few weeks ago these flower beds looked like this we are always so bowled over at the amount of hard work and pleasure go into the amazing gardens.

 This picture just blew my mind how many hours went into planting tiny water leeks into this massive flower bed to create this picture.

I find these beds completely inspiring and we are sad to move away and not to enjoy them any more.

 We went for a walk along Ferdinands walk.  can you spot what is walking about in the lower picture i was cross i left my zoom in the boot of the car.

 It really is great to get out in all the open spaces and run around, exploring finding new things.  Look at this whopping tree trunk we found.

My nature wild thing, loves pine cones and there was no shortage of them we got to see the new cones for this year young green and sticky (is it me or does that sound like a good description for teenage boys) There seems to be a good crop of cones this year.

I love this picture even though she is almost 5 i see a beautiful young woman growing here and its hard to remind myself that she is still so young.

 Time for Sophie to give daddy his exercise time playing frisby and running around playing chase and running races.

The poor old thing was proper pooped and needed a nap just wait till that baby has grown a bit to also run about.  

It rained we didnt care we had a great time, the sun came out eventually and made good for the day, we will miss Waddesdon.
