UK Trip part 1.(Twin Lakes, Matlock,Newmarket).

So we headed off to the UK on the 29th July and returned 14th September 2014.  We actually set the stop watch to see how long this trip takes and door to door it took 48 hours going and 44 hours on the return leg.  Once in the UK we had a great time with friends and family, however the UK is definitely not for us and when we arrived back onto Australia soil it was such and a relief and this amazing country is truly our home!!
So we had some great days out to Ruddington Park, Twin Lakes was amazing- they have many animals, all sorts of rides and they have massive ball pits and play areas, the best thing is they have a huge section for adults to  play in!! It was a great day and well worth every penny.
We also went to Matlock, Matlock Bath and Bakewell and yes we did eat Bakewell tart!!
