A friend recommended West Lodge Rural Centre to us and we had a fantastic day out, and will…read moredefinately return. There is a good variety of walks through some great countryside and trails, we only did one of the short ones. West Lodge put on a variety of activities throughout the day including cow-milking, pony grooming, pet the rabbits and ferret racing! You can also take a barrel ride on the back of a tractor every hour, if you can squeeze into the barrels. There are tractor rides round the whole farm which is something well worth doing, though it is about £1 each extra I think. We went on a coldish day that was slightly overcast and there was plenty to do indoors, including a nice not too expensive cafe, an indoor play area for littler children, a painting activity, animal petting etc etc. They also have ride on tractors which they told us would be going under a barn roof so they are suitable year round. The childrens play area was very good with lots of sand and buckets and spades, and some good equipment. If eating in the cafe is not your bag, then we were impressed with the choice of places to picnic, and of course vast open fields too! One of the picnicking areas is next to a small copse with denmaking stuff in, which our children enjoyed. The farm was not massive, it was a really nice friendly size, and not too packed either. We had a lovely, relaxed visit and all enjoyed it loads. A shame you have to exit through the gift shop, but it was reasonably priced stuff and everywhere seems to do this now. We paid £16 for a family ticket, though an annual pass is only £80 and we will seriously consider this in the future.

They have an outside playground and tractor park as well as a barrel train. Then you can go and feed an assortment of animals. And then there is a little cafe with an inside playground which is great. They serve food as well as an assortment of cakes and biscuits. Then we had lunch on their restaurant which was great with a varied menu. And afterwards ice cream at their ice cream space. Also when you enter and exit there is a toy shop which your kids will love which also sells useful items like wellies if you come on a day that rains. A great spot: we will definitely return!

Today, I visited a Age UK second-hand shop in Market Harborough with the intention of trying on…read morefive items. However, I was informed that it was not permissible to try more than two items at a time. I endeavored to remain composed despite feeling quite upset. At the checkout, I politely inquired whether I could return the shoes if they proved to be too large. Although I had tried them on in the shop and found them too big, I thought they might be suitable for my mother. In response, I received an extremely rude and elevated reply. In my twenty years residing in this country, this was the first occasion I felt unwelcome as a foreigner. This experience was particularly unexpected coming from a second-hand shop and especially from an elderly lady.

Also new cards, hosiery etc and occassional nic-nacs. The ladies who work there are lovely, friendly and always welcoming. I find it almost impossible to pass without popping in, and rarely come away empty handed, especially if I have the children with me as they love delving through the baskets of little toys under the shelves. The ladies will also happily clamber into the window display or delve into the storeroom if you're looking for something in particular, and always price things reasonably.
