Bank holiday weekend just gone we were busy bee’s. Not only did we go along to The Print Shop but we also went to check out Flemingate in Beverley, its a new(ish) shopping complex with multi-storey car park. We also wanted to do some Geocaching and now that the car park is open it makes it a little more accessible.
We came across this delightful sand sculpture of the Beverley Minster. We were happy we could get a couple of photo’s like this but if you went along you would see it is surrounded by metal fencing, you can kind of see it in the background. We understand why the fencing is there, Rob and I remarked at what a shame it was as it was beautiful and we would have loved to have gotten a photo with the children next to it.
I was delighted to come across the Creative Lab shop as it had been mentioned to us on many occasion but we hadn’t had chance to have a snoop around until today. The Creative Lab is full of different artisans and there is certainly unusual, unique and something you would want to take home with you.
We loved the Vampire Travel Kits, they were so cute and made us smile. There were different sizes available and also other unusual wizarding items like potions and fairy wands.
For local Geocachers, check out this Ammo Can up-cylced lamp. We couldn’t resist sharing this with you all.
So what did we buy? Well, we know we need to come back as there were so many different things that took our fancy; especially the unique furniture. Today we went for something small and something we couldn’t refuse.
Nawww what a cute fox! If you didn’t know already, we have lots of fox things in our home and we always like to add to the collection when we see an opportunity like this.
As for Geocaching, we found three caches whilst we were out and about. GC1GAMC was our first cache ‘Beverley’s Friary’s Badge Box’, we had around a 5 minute search for this one and Sophie was the proud finder. We wouldn’t have discovered this location if it wasn’t for Geocaching, it was a beautiful place to find a cache.
We also went onto find GC55V0X Diamond Jubilee, this was a quick find in a little public garden by the corner of the road. Finally we went onto find a multi cache GC699YC A Fine Pair # 455 – Beverley, here was the log entry for this find…
Nice and easy to photograph the fine pair. Getting the clues, easy, converting on the spot with three children resulted us head in the wrong direction. Once we had stopped and checked the coordinates we realised we did a digit wrong and finally turned around. I left a book in the telephone box for #IBeliveinBookFairies weekend of hiding – for someone to find, read and re-hide.
Finding the cache also took a while and I managed to bump my head, I have an egg now. But daddy came to the rescue and found the cache. Signed and that ended our trip out. Home to get some medicine for ones head. Ouch. TFTC
It was a fun few hours out the house which cost us the petrol, parking and a foxy treat.
Hope you had a great bank holiday weekend as well.
