Theme parks!!!!! I just love em,Alton Towers being my fave,Drayton Manor or pretty cool too.
I also LOVE going and having a quiet walk around Witley Court,I find it really relaxing around there.
I gues it depends on what mood im in,if im in an hyper full of energy mood then its theme parks everytime,if Im in a quiet mood and want to do some thinking then a nice walk somewhere quiet and atmospheric,my fave place is Loch Muick since visiting Elaine wish i was closer :lol:

A day out for us would probably be a trip to a zoo, childrens animal farm, chicken place or somewhere like that with a picnic.

I'm afraid I'm really boring, as I like to visit quiet gardens: limited generally to those here in the City available by public transit. The Bishop's Garden at the National Cathedral, the gardens at Dumbarton Oaks, the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens. One I keep meaning to visit is the National Arboretum, especially their bonsai collection.

The seaside still holds real magic for me. I loved our visits to West Bay in Dorset a couple of years ago. No promenades or gaudy shops just pebbly beaches and rocky cliffs. Having said that I also love the hubub of places like Bournemouth and the sophistication of Hove.

Other than that a day out in London always revives my spirit. Whether with a friend or with OH and the boys I really miss London very much and I can do tourist stuff of shopping stuff; I just love being there!

OH and I joined the National Trust over 21 years ago, coming back to our car in an NT car park, pouring rain in the Lake District and a cheerful NT man collared us. What else could we do but join, we were all as wet as each other!

So, like NT properties and especially the gardens. In fact, gardens anywhere are my favourite. Like art galleries, museums; woods/forests. Used to love mountains, but can't get up them any more. Best thing probably was a long tiring walk and the pub afterwards!

Oh and RSPB reserves - nearly forgot. Please can I have a new brain?

I love this too Moli. I also like to take the dogs to the beach, but not a crowded one. I love National Trust Properties and gardens. For the family we are going to Cadbury World, Alton Towers, The Black Country Museum and a place called 'Conkers' near us over the summer. I've bene to Stratford Upon Avon today on a school trip, another one of my favourite places. :)
