Easton Farm Park
We spent a wonderful day at Easton Farm Park when we were on holiday in Suffolk recently.
Easton Farm Park is located near Woodbridge. To get there we drove through beautiful winding country roads, forests and farmland.
There’s a wide range of farm animals for children to see and feed including pigs, rabbits, chickens, goats and horses.
Imogen loved the tractors that are available for children to ride on. She couldn’t reach the pedals so Mummy and Daddy had fun driving her around the farm!
We all rode on a pony and cart which was a delightful experience for Imogen, being her first experience of a pony.
It was wonderful to see Imogen relate to the farm animals. We’ve read plenty of books with stories about farm animals and tractors so Easton Farm Park really brought this alive.
Easton Farm Park is very well organised with timed events giving families the ability to enjoy everything the farm has to offer.
The train ride is lots of fun for parents and children. It took us around the animal yard and past some of the horses in the paddocks.
And if you get caught by rain, as we did, there’s a large soft play centre for babies and children that includes a soft swing, ball pits and slides.
The outdoor play area has swings, slides and a flying fox for older children.
There are pony rides and hug a bunny sessions. Imogen desperately wanted to ride a pony when she saw the older children on them. We compromised and she happily settled for wearing a riding hat whilst watching the children ride the ponies!
It was a great day out and we’ll be sure to go back next time we’re in Suffolk.

We Have A Water Baby
We went swimming for the first time today with Imogen… and she absolutely loved it!
I know a lot of parents who take their babies swimming from a very early age.
This is something I looked into, especially with the very popular Water Babies Classes.
I almost signed up for the classes, but with a young baby you just never know what’s going to be going on or how they’re going to be feeling on the day. Signing up to a term of 10 weeks with a set day and a set time each week to go swimming seemed a little too regimented for us.
So having decided to leave the big swimming pool experience until Imogen was older, we now know it was the best decision we made for our baby.
Imogen’s always loved bath time and has had plenty of time to get used to water, splashing about and having her hair wet.
She had such a happy and confident time kicking around and splashing in the pool with Mummy and Daddy.
It was no surprise that after 30 minutes she began to yawn and we decided it was time to call it a day!
There are plenty of pools in London for babies and children, many of these pools are heated. You can find out more about swimming pools for babies and children at Kids Fun London.
I Love You Daddy
Happy Father’s Day Daddy!
Thank you for being such a great Daddy and for pushing me high on the swings. Mummy doesn’t let me go that high but I think it’s fun. I like playing with my aeroplane with you and you make good helicopter noises.
Love from Imogen xxx
