Wisley RHS Garden

A year or two ago we went to the Butterfly house at Wisley in Surrey, but it was the middle of the winter and freezing cold, so we didn't really look around properly and at the time said we would go back during the summer and on Monday we finally we did.

Wisley belongs to the Royal Horticultural Society and is a huge (and I mean HUGE) open space boasting many collections of beautiful plants, flowers and a huge 'Fruit Field'. There is also a 'Garden under glass' which at certain times of the year houses their butterflies. If you're like me and love taking photos of flowers, then you will love this place. If you're not but would still like somewhere pretty to visit this is a place I would definitely recommend because it is absolutely beautiful!

I took lots of photos while we were there and thought I would share some of them with you.







             














Have you ever visited Wisley?

Graze boxes!


A couple of days ago, I received my first ever Graze box and liked it so much I thought I would do a whole blog post on it. Graze is a subscription service which, every month, sends you four healthy and natural snacks through the post.



Before your box comes you can go on line and choose which foods you like and which foods you don't like - this way you can be sure not to receive anything you know you're not going to like in your box. I love the box and how the snacks come packaged, you even get a little tissue!


I got:

1. Apple and Cinnamon flapjack: a rustic rolled oat flapjack with apple and cinnamon
2. Inspired by Jaffa Cake: belgian dark chocolate, orange sultanas and roasted hazelnuts
3. Billionaire's shortbread: belgian milk chocolate, almonds, cranberries and fudge
4. Habas Tapas: jumbo chilli maize, roasted maize and chilli broad beans

I'm not too keen on the Habas Tapas, so I'm going to go their website and say I don't want to receive it again. 


You also receive a little welcome booklet and a booklet telling you all the nutritional information of your snacks and some codes to give to your friends so they can try a Graze box for free. 

I really like this idea and loved my first box. I plan to stay subscribed for a few more months to see what the next boxes are like!

If you bought this month's Glamour magazine, you may have spotted a coupon in there for a free box but if you didn't and would like to try Graze, I have the code 2PZYFJ4D, which (for a limited time only) entitles you to try your first box for free and I believe the following box is also half price!

The boxes usually cost £3.79 with free postage to the UK. If you want to read more about Graze, you can do so on their website at Graze.com

Do you already receive Graze boxes? What is your favourite snack?
