A pub in a boat

I think I want to live here: not only is it a pub in a boat but you can get a beer and a burger or a cider and a curry for £3.95. Mint. And their desserts are brilliant - I think I'm going for a banana split! Yummy Yum

James and his mummy

You can always rely on New Walk Museum for an exhibit on mummies in movies. Not exactly Oscar winners either. The museum has an exhibition coming up on German Expressionism which I think is just their normal art collection with the gallery walls painted! We had a lovely afternoon buying old school vinyl and drinking over priced goods from Starbucks. Wonderful!

The Abbey Park Petting Zoo!

To be cultural and experience the delights that Leicester has to offer, we decided to go to Abbey Park. We trekked across town and nearly got a bus 200m to the park because we didn't know where it was. Bad times. The signs also said it was 1/3 mile for at least a whole mile. Needlest to say, we got the bus home but only after seeing the abbey ruins and the amazing petting zoo! They had some beaut goats (see above) which Vick fed polos and caused a fight to break out but also lovely rabbits and a really pregnant guinea pig!

Laura with the small child bollard

As featured on the One Show on BBC1 with Christopher Biggins! We knew these new traffic calming bollards were going to be odd but on our way to the fish & chip shop, we realised that they are very creepy. I don't think children are actually ever this small.... Leicester Council obviously thought they were a good idea!
