After we went to Cockington Green we went 100m down the road to visit the National Dinosaur Museum. It was pretty awesome, heaps of dinosaur statues outside, fossils and stuff indoors and an amazing giftshop!
A giant T-Rex mouth outside
What a dork <3
I bought one of the Jurassic Park signs and it is now on the door to my office!
I was trying to make a face but I kept laughing!
It was a fun afternoon! It was cheap to get in and everything they had there was pretty cool. I bought a little T-Rex figurine which will be shown in an upcoming post!
A couple of weeks ago my husband and I decided to go to Canberra for the weekend. We drove down on the Saturday morning and returned home on Sunday. We went to Cockington Green and to the National Dinosaur Museum!
Here are some photos from Cockington Green. For those who don't know, it's a place full of little houses and people (like at the end of Hot Fuzz!)
This is the outside of Cockington Green. It's so pretty
And inside is the mini version!
Tiny houses make this magpie seem giant!
I really like the church scene, but I like Death in the cemetary next door even more
This is probably my favourite thing. A teeny tiny Michael Myers!
"Save the trees!"
A spot of dressage
They had a few dinosaurs in Cockington Green, they must be in cahoots with the museum.
They had an international section where different embassies sponsor something, this was the Australian one.
Here's me having a great time with my awesome squirrel jumper from ASOS!
We stopped for a drink and they had this Brown Cream Soda. Oh my goodness it is the tastiest thing I have ever drunk and I can't find it ANYWHERE!
Cockington Green is really cute and I loved spotting all of the funny little bits they hid around the park!
That's all for now, my next post will be pictures from the Dinosaur Museum :-D

P.S Here is the tiny village at the end of Hot Fuzz...luckily no injuries were sustained on our visit!
I really like this quote that I saw on Pinterest! Very interesting! I cannot find the original source, sorry!
Also, awwwww...little lamb!

P.S I don't want to make these posts to be preachy or to say "ugh you eat meat you disgust me!". Well, the thought of eating meat does gross me out now but I am not the type of person to preach to others that I think what they do is wrong as it is none of my business! I respect every persons choices and opinions and do not like to force my opinions onto others but I will share mine and listen to yours :-)
Native Box is a monthly subscription box that sends you eco-friendly and sustainable products every month for only $15. They are only a new company and I really love it! I have looked forward to every box and they haven't disappointed me yet! They favour Australian owned and made products and everything is cruelty free.
Here is what I received in the January box:
The box you receive is simple but is still really nice! And most important, recyclable!
The first item is Method biodegradable wipes. I was pretty excited to see these to be honest! I can't wait to try them out. They smell nice, clean and not chemically like other brands.
The next item is Venusian face cream by Essenza Pura. It states that it is a day/night cream, however it is so lovely and thick that I think it will work best for me as a night cream. It has a really subtle scent to it and it is really nice.
Also included is some Morlife alkalsing greens which to be honest means nothin' to me! However reading a bit about it on the sheet included, it says that it is a blend of nutrient dense green super foods and you can add it to juice, smoothies, dips etc to get a boost of nutrients!
This was a nice addition, I have an eco-friendly toothbrush and I don't like it so much as it's bulky so I am hoping that when I recycle that one (tip: start a new toothbrush at the beginning of a new season) and start this one that it is better! This one is available at Go Green At Home
Mmm Kangaroo Valley hand made fudge that is gelatine free! I am not too keen on the flavour but it wsa melt in your mouth and had a lovely texture so I plan on purchasing some more flavours for sure.
Sanctum organic body soothe. This is a really light lotion that sinks in nicely. It also has a subtle scent to it, kind of lemony!
