Here are the T&Cs..

I know it's only May 2019 and there's still 7 months to go before we rolll the clocks on to 2020...

but I was a bit stunned to see that Calendars, Family Planners and Diaries for 2020 are on the market....so if you really want to get organised and prepared for that new year, this could be the time to start checking them out.

I love the look of this one from CalendarClub.co.uk, Alisons Animals Slim Calendar 2020...

They've also got some for 2019-2010 as well so if you're suddenly feeling an urge to get organised this year, CalendarClub.co.uk is a good place to start.

They've also got a lot of calendars representing counties in the UK so if you want to send someone a calendar who loves a particular part of the UK, take a look at them.   They cover all sorts of regions, e.g. Cotswolds, Edinburgh, Sussex, Staffordshire, Peak District etc etc. 

It's never too late to start being organised...or too early to get ahead!

I absolutely adore the Wrendale designs - I think Hannah Dale is brilliant and produces some wonderful designs.

And I was browsing Amazon tonight - as you do - and was amazed to see the mug designs Wrendale mugs now include!

I knew there was Wrendale hedgehogs, ducks, geese, Wrendale hares, dogs, cats etc.  But what I didn't know was that there are other wildlife mugs - covering wildlife such as the orangutan, panda, elephant, toucan, flamingo, giraffe etc.  So here are just a few Wrendale designs to show you!

I've recently discovered the website TravelZoo, and wow, what an amaizng site!

They are a travel, entertainment and local deals provider so if you're looking for a deal for a holiday, or a day out,or something to do, they are a good place to start.  They have deals all over the country and as a garden lover, I was very excited to find that they have quite a range of offers for gardens to visit and in many cases, that includes homes as well!

For instance, today I was digging around and unearthing some great offers for gardens, and some will be known to you perhaps such as Hatfield House in Hertfordshire whilst others may not be known to you.

The deals for visiting gardens fall under the section for Things to do which itself has deals for Spas, Restaurants, Getaways and Entertainment and Activities.  Look under the Entertainment and Activities section and that's where you'll find all the deals on entry to gardens.  

I find that the site is very well laid out, and each deal seems to be explained very well. 

The most popular deal at the time of writing covering the gardens bit was actually Entry for 2 to the Country Estate and Gardens, Hatfield House:

Hertfordshire: entry for 2 to country estate & garden  

- £22.00 - that's 42% less than usual!!

 Castle Howard (Yorkshire): entry to house & gardens
£12.50 – saving you 35% -  for one adult or concession

Castle Howard has featured in a number of films and television shows, including the 1981 and 2008 adaptations of "Brideshead Revisited" and "Victoria" (2016)

Entry for 2 to Hestercombe House & Gardens

nr Taunton - JUST  £12.00 - saving 41% on the normal cost

So you can see there are some great savings to be enjoyed, and great days out to be enjoyed too!   There are a lot more gardens with offers on so do dig your way over to Travelzoo and see what you think!  

There's nothing like strolling around a garden with a family member or friend and just drinking in the glorious sights, or exploring a house and imagining what it would be like to live there!
