<div class="p2">
<b>So have I achieved this ? </b></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">To be honest, I feel like the journey is only just beginning. There was so much to take in, so many great ideas and suggestions that I feel like I've got a life times worth of projects to try out. Both from the official IKEA workshops and Live LAGOM blog and from all the other participants. Such an enthusiasm for new ways of being sustainable that I often feel only half hearted in my efforts. But I feel like I'm chasing my tail 90% of the time with everything I do ! </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b>What has really worked ?</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">I can fully champion my recycling boxes in the kitchen...these have reduced my rubbish and tidied up my kitchen no end. The storage jars have decreased my stock piled cupboards, but have also meant that little hands get tempted and know where to find the sugar ! My electricity bills continue to get cheaper and I can thank the LED light bulbs, and lamp lighting for this. And my home is much more green thanks to plant pots and hanging baskets. </span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b>What has been my biggest stumbling block ? </b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_V7RXDG5jmUfj7ih6LjfAj1BDz7ECMt1aSo3txQRSgokXikdE1TyHdjeW15vnrT3rNM7PrUvUqJbI2Fu5IV2_gmTJk24o1zVh5mgoem4gdmE2tZetk-iB3bDHTM0JbdCA8wRv5TQXmWfc/s1600/IMG_4027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_V7RXDG5jmUfj7ih6LjfAj1BDz7ECMt1aSo3txQRSgokXikdE1TyHdjeW15vnrT3rNM7PrUvUqJbI2Fu5IV2_gmTJk24o1zVh5mgoem4gdmE2tZetk-iB3bDHTM0JbdCA8wRv5TQXmWfc/s400/IMG_4027.jpg" width="300" /></a><span class="s1">To be totally honest I would say fear. I'm yet to use my pressure cooker because I'm terrified of it...surely that amount of hot pressurised steam can only result in disaster ?! I keep telling myself not to be stupid but it remains. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
I've also struggled with growing the herbs, I managed to destroy the first two lots I tried to grow, so again became afraid of planting the tomato and pepper kits. I overcame this by getting the kids involved. We did it together and it became a lot less scary ! Perseverance is key right ?!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
There have been some practical setbacks too. My bathroom lights are still waiting on an electrician, my outdoor bench is waiting to be screwed into the wall. It would have been great if there had been someone at the store we could have booked to come round and help with such things... this would have really got me further down the line than I am now...</div>

In particular my last worksop where I used a sewing machine for the first time and am now proud owner of my self made peg bag. My daughter was so proud of me ! </span><br />
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<b>And to the future ? </b></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1">I will definitely be continuing on my journey, and hopefully updating the IKEA team as I discover things. I would love the project to continue for another six months so that it lasts a full year. I will be getting lights fixed, my indoor drying rack up and ready for indoor drying in the winter, my herbs tended to, and hopefully some tomatoes to eat come the end of summer ! I also intend to switch over the rest of my lightbulbs as and when they need it and make some thick curtains for my front room.</span></div>

Last Saturday saw me and some other carefully selected ladies frolicking merrily in a field. We were there to see the fantastic next venture from Sadie Spikes, owner of the famous <a href="http://www.theboutiquebandb.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Boutique Arthouse</a> guesthouse on Fishponds Road, Bristol.<br />
<br />
Sadie has, over the last three years, lovingly bought, restored and nurtured three old circus caravans back to a happy, healthy life. And now they are ready to welcome their first visitors.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6kzH3eq-twic_F1tGE3hu6BtdeBHJlinjC98hvIWJcaxI_AdV2QwvM-LbYqxkci-ptj6PHSMpHbBm1VbpTbU2QqE0UvlEuUu_SmkwV-JUmCqIYNrzzLsxlcdhKvUvB33aH66-FHrtBw9/s1600/2_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw6kzH3eq-twic_F1tGE3hu6BtdeBHJlinjC98hvIWJcaxI_AdV2QwvM-LbYqxkci-ptj6PHSMpHbBm1VbpTbU2QqE0UvlEuUu_SmkwV-JUmCqIYNrzzLsxlcdhKvUvB33aH66-FHrtBw9/s320/2_small.jpg" width="263" /></a>Named after Sadie and her husbands' grandparents... Sid, Dot and Iris all have personalities of their own. Ranging from dark wood, to kitsch coverings and pretty crockery each caravan is kitted out with cooking facilities and beautiful wood burners. Sleeping two comfortably per caravan, the site is perfect for a booking of six.<br />

We were there to give the place a test run, not only the caravans but also the magical dressing up room (set up in a horse box) that stocks ballgowns of varying shapes, sizes and styles (all bought from a Bristol charity shops) but also a range of body glitter, paint, accessories and more. It is a place to let your inhibitions loose and your imagination run wild. It felt like we were in a happy dream all day...dancing through flower filled fields in posh frocks !<br />

The toilets (two) and the bath (a proper free standing beauty, once stationed in Billy Connelly's house) are also in their own horse boxes. You could bath with the door open looking out on the surrounding countryside...<br />
<br />
It is the little touches that really make this place special... each caravan has been decorated with flowers, there are sweet jars filled with favourites in the back of the Merc that is permenantly parked there, the curtains are made from blankets, the door handles have been specifically sourced... this is a real labour of love...it oozes style.<br />

What the final idea is for the retreat is left to Sadie... talk of it being a women's only place, where no phones are allowed are top of the list and when you step away you can see why this idea is probably the one that will work. A break from all and every stress of modern life, where women look each after, laugh, cook, dance, dress up and relax. I left having done all of these and slept VERY well that night...<br />

Finally the winter is beginning to thaw, and the flowers in the garden have started to bloom which must mean only one thing… spring is finally springing…it has felt like a long winter.

I have noticed a huge reduction in the amount of household waste we put out… having moved over from Berlin where the bins got emptied on a twice weekly schedule I was a little worried about our wheelie bin only being emptied twice a week, but following the installation of our recycling boxes the bin is now only ever half full and most of the rubbish are dirty nappies ! </div>

My blind on the kitchen window works wonders, keeps drafts out so the kitchen is bearable first thing in the morning (there is no radiator in there and I didn’t want to have to use an electric heater), and below this are the newly installed taps. So far, I can’t say that i’ve noticed much of a difference, other than the hot water pressure is slightly lower, but it feels good to know I am not wasting as much water, especially as I do the washing up analogue style by hand, and know that water is easy to waste. </div>

<span class="s1">Some are purely seasonal and I hope to get going now the above mentioned Spring has truly kicked off, mostly to get my outdoor furniture built and installed so I can continue to create my sensory garden just outside my back door. I have been able to start planting herbs indoors, with the help of my little greenhouse and growing sets… cannot wait to see the fruits from these, and will move them outdoors once they are more established. Joining these will be my tomato and pepper growing kits, again, just waiting for the weather to really warm up. </span></div>

<span class="s1">Others have been, sadly, that the products I selected just couldn’t be installed, or simply didn’t fit. The VITAHULT charging unit I chose and was REALLY looking forward to using, didn’t fit my iPhone, which was a real shame. Also, the bathroom mirror. Because of the way which the UK law works about having switches in the bathroom, and the design of the STORJORM mirror not having an independent light switch has meant I’ve had to rethink my bathroom lighting…but all is not lost. I have re-thought the lighting design, and am replacing the mirror with other LED lights which can run off the main switch and not cause problems.</span></div>

<br />An exciting new collaboration is taking place at the much loved Kingfisher Cafe.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />Anna Blightman, (The Distant Future Always Sounds Lovely) will be taking on an artist coordinator role for The Kingfisher, working as an independent to discover and introduce new local artists to the space and its potential.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />The collaboration will open doors (and walls) at The Kingfisher to support local artists by offering them a chance to host an exhibition of their work, which will include an exclusive evening opening. The work will then remain on display for the entire month, before the show changes.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />Arriving in Fishponds in the summer last year from Berlin, Anna works as an artist using the medium of Polaroid photography showcasing the originality and nostalgia of the classic Polaroid in prints and other gifts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />The new venture with the Kingfisher Cafe, beginning at the end of February, will give the opportunity to all to discover the diverse and accomplished range of artists living and working in Fishponds.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5636px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />Alongside the main exhibition the project is hoping to include one piece of artwork from up to six artists on a two weekly rotation basis that will also be on display in the cafe and available for purchase. There will also be a stronger focus on products and crafts by local artists being available for purchase, with one area of the cafe dedicated to these items.</div>

As always with this time of year, I begin to think of clean sheets, fresh starts and new leaves. It is such a great time to rethink everything, sweep out the dead wood of the previous year (quite literally with the Christmas tree) and start as you mean to go on...<br />
<br />
...and an even better time to start thinking about my LIVE LAGOM New Years Resolution and how, with the help of my products, I can create a more sustainable live for my girls and me in our new home.<br />
<br />
Reducing waste is going to be my big resolution, allowing it to encompass all types of waste including:<br />
<br />
- food waste<br />
- wasted energy<br />
- wasted time !<br />
<br />
For the first time ever we have a garden, so when I was thinking about Living Lagom my thoughts instantly turned to utilising the underused outdoor space to create a sensory area with plants and herbs which can also be used in the kitchen and cooking.<br />
<br />
Using my outdoor bench and shelf unit I am looking forward to planting some seeds and reducing the amount of herbs I buy to sit in a pot and die, or dry out and become flavourless, not to mention the benefit of looking pretty. I also hope to plant some vegetables in the spring. My main challenge with this is remembering to look after the plants, I am hoping by being able to see them outside my kitchen will encourage me !<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
To combat wasted energy I have several bits and pieces to help me. Including:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZG_VW8wf9y5TYc8gjdeRvyLMVoa0G66MVY2UVRDMavKhSfVqRZ1Ol4zJQ5MLbvHouMlBqelTrvlJlKOXdfTPEIVqdDEVB8g83jexMK0j8Oa4YUgmX24EuNkhPflr4PNV39Fiv_a4gectE/s1600/IMG_2226.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZG_VW8wf9y5TYc8gjdeRvyLMVoa0G66MVY2UVRDMavKhSfVqRZ1Ol4zJQ5MLbvHouMlBqelTrvlJlKOXdfTPEIVqdDEVB8g83jexMK0j8Oa4YUgmX24EuNkhPflr4PNV39Fiv_a4gectE/s640/IMG_2226.jpg" width="640" /></a>- sensor motion light for the landing and late night loo visits !<br />
- LED light bulbs and night lights (our solar ones don't work in the winter !)<br />
- blind for the kitchen window to stop the draught<br />
- wireless charging pad so my phone isn't on charge ALL night<br />
- and most excitingly a pressure cooker, ...I cannot wait to start creating recipes in this, lots of lovely stews, curries and other meals.<br />
<br />
Which when all added together is hopefully going to make a big difference both in the amount of energy consumed and the amount of money spent paying for it !<br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">And finally, the waste of time ! We currently have no recycling bins indoors and I spend so much time moving pieces of paper from one side of the room to the other, then having an unsightly stack of stuff that needs to go out to the front...this is crazy and has to stop ! </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Alongside this is the kids "stuff"... playdough, scrap paper, bits of string, ribbon etc etc. All of which I am loathe to throw away but ends up in a mess on the dining room table, and once again I feel I am constantly re-organising into slightly more pleasing piles of mess. </span></div>
<br />
Not to mention the kitchen food stuff I spend hours looking for in the backs of cupboards.<br />

With my newly acquired storage boxes and jars I aim to eliminate all the above !<br />

I am looking forward to showing my children the joy of growing your own, and helping the planet to stay beautiful at the same time. To saving energy and ultimately money on heating and lighting my home, and to having a more functional, streamlined recycling system that makes it simple to achieve.<br />

<br />

<br />
More sustainable ? I recycle, I reuse glass jars, I donate my unwanted clothes to the charity shop...honestly, what more can I do ? Move to the forest, eat berries and never wash. So in order to help my planet and educate my daughters we need to be cold, dirty and hungry...<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcLnirhEKFPEJA4dv21tQ7H_6fMy56AQH0jiWvjsfUsjXyc02szcdMjZdkEQZAyws6GARiDYeOZ36-L7XtyO10E6a8MSszXfinvsFVbQx89SfNvbGetD72o16vIupe1E2cUp9i_SYaU0kz/s1600/autumnneve_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcLnirhEKFPEJA4dv21tQ7H_6fMy56AQH0jiWvjsfUsjXyc02szcdMjZdkEQZAyws6GARiDYeOZ36-L7XtyO10E6a8MSszXfinvsFVbQx89SfNvbGetD72o16vIupe1E2cUp9i_SYaU0kz/s320/autumnneve_small.jpg" width="266" /></a><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
...but Lagom isn't about sacrificing your creature comforts, <a href="https://www.hubbub.org.uk/what-does-it-mean-to-live-lagom" target="_blank">Living Lagom</a> is about having what you need but no more, so I can enjoy a hot shower as long as it isn't half an hour long, I can even have a guilt-free bath, just not every day (i'd be too wrinkly anyway).<br />
<br />
And this is what the project is all about...educating, and understanding that we can all contribute more (or less) to the state of the planet whilst maintaining a comfortable lifestyle AND a tidy, stylish home.<br />
<br />
Excitingly for me, I am in the position of having recently moved into my new home. This is a great chance for me to put in place some simple ideas that will complement my lifestyle, whilst I can continue to look after the planet, and get my children involved so that for them being sustainable isn't a 'thing", it just is.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF94QHBSiJPJKk3szkD7QLoH-UIC22U6EdjfXfpRlLp6y1iU4j2uJX8l8q6saVBE5aD5o3DyajK52DHYG-iUq-BkJZ_Er10JVUnTOHgJO8FyPsKKTTAgvUzmmwuCX5jjOMcAz1gkxuLFUa/s1600/LittleWood_5_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF94QHBSiJPJKk3szkD7QLoH-UIC22U6EdjfXfpRlLp6y1iU4j2uJX8l8q6saVBE5aD5o3DyajK52DHYG-iUq-BkJZ_Er10JVUnTOHgJO8FyPsKKTTAgvUzmmwuCX5jjOMcAz1gkxuLFUa/s320/LittleWood_5_small.jpg" width="264" /></a><br />
Armed with my Hidden Gems brochure I now have the opportunity to select £500 worth of products that can help implement this lifestyle....my brain is overloading with ideas.<br />
<br />
Should I redo the kitchen, changing drawer space, work surface and recycling areas - tick, should I put up honeycomb blinds against each window - tick, should I switch all lightbulbs to LED - tick, should I create a garden to grow my own herbs and vegetables - tick, should I create a dedicated "scraps" place which the children to go to for playful inspiration - tick. I have the Lagom (hubbub and IKEA) team visiting my home on Tuesday and we will work together to make a plan !<br />
<br />
For me, the idea of quietly helping the planet is the most important. Amazing that it might be able to save me money too but that isn't my focus.<br />
<br />
I want to keep the world beautiful...<br />

I'm excited...here's what we did over the summer. Enjoy...<br />

From early May until end July little strawberry huts pop up all over Berlin selling <a href="http://www.karls.de/roevershagen/ueber-karls/karls-erdbeeren.html" target="_blank">local (ish)</a> sweet strawberries.

The <a href="http://www.ytti.de/plansche-nordbahnhof-berlin-mitte-kleinkind-1100/" target="_blank">Wasserspielplatz am Nordbahnhof</a>. Since it opened two years ago we have spent many a summer afternoon here. Only a five minute walk from our house, it will be a shame to loose this.<br />

We head there later today with some friends from her Kita to celebrate, although in typical July 8th fashion the weather is a bit dodgy !<br />

Our eldest daughter had a week break from her Kita here in Berlin. The usual thoughts ran through my head as to what would be fun to do with the time (we are blessed with a Kita that stays open even through the summer holiday) As ideas of golden sand beaches for five days disappeared with the price I remembered the fairy tale place a friend of my mother-in-law had mentioned last summer, <a href="http://www.efteling.co.uk/" target="_blank">‘Efteling’</a> somewhere in The Netherlands. A dutch friend of mine was coincidently working on a cookbook for that place, and had been recently. The lightbulb went on, and I set to work doing what I do best. Plan. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We booked a three day car hire, a two night stay on a campsite and tickets for Efteling, the most magical theme park in Europe. All for around €500</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Traveling by car with a car sick daughter is never so much fun, but we were prepared for what turned out to be an eight hour journey (with stops) from Berlin to Kaatsheuvel in The Netherlands. The journey, whilst long and tedious, was actually fairly straight forward, the only argument happening after the only mistake was made, about half an hour from our destination.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
But we arrived, on an out of season April evening to <a href="http://en.vakantieparkdroomgaard.nl/" target="_blank">Oostappen Vakantieparken Droomgaard</a>. The campsite was like a ghost town, but fortunately they were expecting us, and a pleasant Dutch man speaking (of course) perfect English met us and simply handed over an envelope, and a parking pass and the key to the caravan number 23, our home ! We cooked a quick dinner and put the kids to bed, enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine and slept ourselves. As novices, we had forgotten a few of the essentials (toilet roll, washing up liquid, cloths etc) but managed to find it all in the reasonably priced campsite shop. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The campsite itself was beautifully empty, but this also meant none of the attractions (swimming pool, entertainment etc) were open. I can imagine it is really fun in the summer. The playground was sandy and big, and the caravan park felt spacious. We even had a view of some horses in the next field (and the b-road in the distance). The caravan was clean, and perfect for a family of four. There were other sofa beds we didn’t need should you have more guests. It felt safe and secure. The girls shared a bedroom with two single beds (you could hire a cot for babies but we chose not to), and we slept next door in a double bed. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We woke the next morning to a fairly misty start, and it was freezing ! A slight air of disappointment (but mostly the adults) was soon lifted by the excitement of the day ahead. We chose to drive the 2km to the park, as the idea of carrying a 1 year old (and probably 5 year old) back at the end of a long day was too much for us ! I can’t express how amazing it was to arrive at the old stone wall, sweep down the drive (and past all the empty parking spaces) to the fairy entrance of Efteling. For a five year old with a big imagination this was like stepping into all her fantasies at once. </div>

<div class="p1">
Once through the grand entrance we hired a “pushchair” for the day to keep the two smaller ones from walking / being carried and set off down the tulip lined walk towards <b>Sprookjesbos</b>. Here the most beautiful forest recreated (via animatronics) every fairytale you can think of. Sleeping Beauty was up in a castle you could walk through, passing snoozing guards on the way, Rapunzel continually let her hair down so the prince could climb up, Hansel was locked in cage with Gretel outside holding a broom. Around every corner you found another tiny house, with washing up outside or a miniature table and chairs. The details were beautiful, and to be honest, this alone would have been enough for our children. We stopped when the sun came out as a name naked Emperor paraded from right to left in front of us. It is hard to describe the sheer beauty of the wood. It is old fashioned, and not super hyped, but in that lies the appeal. It is crafted from a different time. We particularly loved the tale of the Indian Water Lilies, where, after persuading Molly to wait, tiny fairies emerged from lilies and sang accompanied by a life size frog band. </div>

<div class="p1">
Once through the forest we headed to the <span class="s1"><b>Droomvlucht</b></span> Fairy Ride. Being out of season we had only a few minutes in a queue before stepping into our suspended carriage which took us through the most wonderful world of singing, swinging and dancing fairies and elves. The rickety carriage took us up, down and round the ride. The minute we stepped off Molly insisted on going on again. The bonus of being there in mid April, was that she could. With no queue we were free to take our time everywhere. </div>

Neve and I stopped for a snack and consulted the map. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcghiY5ImMhtlfB9f2fUjeKlOYi_7nNvz1hRXXyfzJpKy4NJyJkz1LLSf-K_w02k-7XdNhrTXtOZlSCjnNqi3Kr7B_thTpxLdIIYwroXCtMA0JUtfxswcxq0gG2C27nzIZ5IKxsEC15pn/s1600/Efteling_7_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcghiY5ImMhtlfB9f2fUjeKlOYi_7nNvz1hRXXyfzJpKy4NJyJkz1LLSf-K_w02k-7XdNhrTXtOZlSCjnNqi3Kr7B_thTpxLdIIYwroXCtMA0JUtfxswcxq0gG2C27nzIZ5IKxsEC15pn/s320/Efteling_7_small.jpg" width="262" /></a></div>
<div class="p1">
Next up we went on the snail monorail, another ride which both Molly and a bemused Neve could enjoy. We rode (4 meters) above tiny houses, all telling their own story. Once off the ride we could then explore the houses, all of which you could walk in to to some degree. Molly was in heaven, being able to recreate her own world as she went from home to home, getting a shock when we entered the house with the noisy steps… this I will leave for you to discover !</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Then we entered the other side of the park, filled with roller coasters, water rides, rocking pirate ships and other death defying excitement. Unfortunately Molly was a little too small for most of the white knuckle rides (I say unfortunately but…) with 120cm being the required height, but that didn’t stop Morgan and I from taking on the black hole (separately), a roller coaster ride in absolute darkness! There was also a very gentle “round the world” ride for Neve with stereotyped dolls waving at us round every corner. It was fun.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4hyphenhyphen9MB4F4qKGzEygBXyDSriImPFA6IdpZ6ULl18t_BjymhRUmznXolu4-EZics56flR_128-6-GbZNwlu0sYWZljGBbOuQ1ysUCfVz7UAg3eETMyhWjYDoitVJNu06BsHFZ057WnVhwgo/s1600/Efteling_6_small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4hyphenhyphen9MB4F4qKGzEygBXyDSriImPFA6IdpZ6ULl18t_BjymhRUmznXolu4-EZics56flR_128-6-GbZNwlu0sYWZljGBbOuQ1ysUCfVz7UAg3eETMyhWjYDoitVJNu06BsHFZ057WnVhwgo/s320/Efteling_6_small.jpg" width="267" /></a></div>
<div class="p1">
And then we found it, the wooden roller coaster that allowed children of a height of 110cm and above to go on. Molly took no persuading, despite feeling terrible after coming off the pirate ship, and Morgan and her took to the queue. Twenty minutes later they emerged and to our surprise Molly wanted to go on again straight away. So I went with her, round the long walkway which would normally be chocked full of teenagers, through to the platform. We sat in, the bar went down and away we went. It was fast (no loop the loop), and thrilling. I looked over at Molly to see her bright red face morphed into a wild cocktail of sheer terror and excitement. Yet, at the end, she was full of the wonder of it. I felt slightly wobbly but she bounced back straight away. </div>

<div class="p1">
We spent the last hour or so wandering around the grounds, revisiting the fairy tales from the beginning and watching an impressive water display by the entrance to round it all up. We were all exhausted, but I can’t recommend it highly enough. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
There was something truly magical about the place, the charm of it was in the understated calm. No big mascots walking around, only beautiful flower arrangements, easy to navigate paths and lots of places to rest, relax, sample Dutch snacks of meat or cheese filled pancakes twinkies (!) and enjoy. </div>

However, I was a little disappointed. OK, I did shoot on a cold day and perhaps should have been more considerate of this (the later photos when the sun came out certainly had more snap to them) as the images I took really were rather flat. The first couple of pictures I took had the usual "green" hue to them. It also seemed that the film was reacting differently in the same conditions, with under and over exposed images.<br />

On the positive, when the sun did come out the film picked out the blue sky brilliantly, the reds and yellows in the flowers were clear, and the pink of my daughters jacket shining even in the cloud.<br />
The details in the images are much sharper too.<br />
