Last Saturday we had tickets to ‘Taste’ - a food festival in Regents Park. I’ve been to the event through work before and thought it would make a good day out for the kids and the in laws (we do like our food and drink in this family!).

Benjamin thought the whole day was a great adventure, particularly the train and tube journey. He is now old enough for his own train ticket, so could operate the ticket exits himself. In his mind he thought he was Harry Potter trying to find platform 9 and ¾!

Once at the festival we were soon sampling foods – everything from pan-fried salmon and scallops, to pork and mash and award-winning chocolates. Molly enjoyed the day out; happy to crawl around when given the opportunity, be carried by Grandad or to fall asleep in her push chair when the excitement got too much!

At the end of the day we enjoyed a leisurely walk back to the train station through Regents Park in the sunshine. Benjamin loved climbing the trees and watching the herons on the river. It was a lovely way to spend a summer’s day all together.
