Got back from a great bank holiday trip up to Sheffield to visit my mum and pick up the kids. Unusually for a British bank holiday the weather wasn’t too bad; sunny on both the Saturday and Sunday.

We spent most of the weekend up at Cannon Hall Farm near Barnsley. There’s an open farm with a great play area for the children and plenty of animals for the kids to feed. The neighbouring farm also creates a maize maze for you to get lost in, as well as some terrific ice cream!

As it had been my mum’s birthday recently we took her to a Latin American restaurant in Sheffield called Las Iguanas. We were a bit unsure how the kids would get on with it but in fact it was great for the kids. They have a children’s menu from which they tried and liked the chicken chimichangas. The food, atmosphere and service were all excellent. We will be definitely going there again and would recommend it to anyone.

On the Sunday we went to Wisewood Methodist Church where a baptism took place. After the service the whole congregation were treated by the family to a lovely meal of traditional Ghanian and Gambian food.
