noods' surprise bday trip to hunter valley part 4
3 September 2008, 14:35
after our hot chocolate pit-stop everyone left to grab some cheese while me and noods went to hunter valley gardens. the attendant dude told us the gardens would be closed in 30mins and i cheekily asked if we could get a discount on the entry since they were gonna close soon but the dude shook his head and i shrugged brought out my wallet while asking if we’d be able to make it to the storybook gardens in time. he passed us a map and told us itd only take about 7mins to get there and as he went to type on the register he pauses and asks if thats the only part of the garden we were going to. i nod and he smiles and goes ill let you guys thru just dont tell my boss heh thank you super nice garden dude! you saved us 40bux and we were very happy!
storybook garden! i first heard about this garden featuring nursery rhyme characters from jenny so thanks dude!
wall of nursery rhymes… old mother hubbard went to the cupboard… london bridge is falling down… old king cole was a merry old sole…
little miss muffet sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey along came a spider who sat down beside her and frightened miss muffet away
humpty dumpty sat on a wall humpty dumpty had a great fall all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldnt put humpty together again
hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle the cow jumped over the moon the little dog laughed to see such a sight and the dish ran away with the spoon
look who i found! gingerbread men!
gingerbread house! it was actually for bathrooms but wouldnt it have been awesome if they sold candy?
georgie porgie pudding and pie kissed the girls and made them cry when the boys came out to play georgie porgie ran away
jack and jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water jack fell down and broke his crown and jill came tumbling after
wee willie winkie runs through the town up stairs and down stairs in his night-gown tapping at the window crying at the lock “are the children in their bed, for it’s now ten o’clock?”
sadly no nursery rhyme for these because i think its related to the next pic…
the mad hatters tea party!
the end! hope you had a good time noods! happy 25th bday!

thankyou love! Yes I had fun being surprised…even tho I’m slow…
— noods Sep 3, 02:45 PM #wow did you take all those pics together on timer? I imagine it must’ve been the Amazing Race of Storybook Photos. Only 30min and yet you got so many photos? lol. What a fab weekend. What a fab organiser. What a great gf/fiance!
— Helen Sep 3, 05:03 PM #HAH! but what if his boss read this?
Love the idea of the storybook wonderland-we never get the chance to go as food is always a calling. Next time!
— Lorraine E Sep 3, 05:29 PM #OMG I went there when I was really small and my parents placed me up on Humpty Dumpty’s leg and I cried because the ground was so far down and I was scared I would fall!
Hehehe :)
— Katie Sep 4, 01:25 PM #oh my gosh these Gardens are so cool!! Im planning a trip there now! Where abouts in the Hunter are they?
— PixiePants Sep 5, 08:54 AM #Wow what a fantastic b’day…he’s a lucky guy! ;)
and great photos!
— caseinpoint Sep 6, 05:16 PM #What an ingenius idea! You’ve inspired me to visit the Hunter Valley.
— Wills Oct 10, 12:23 AM #noods: heh it’s ok being slow cos it’s easier to fool you!
— chocolatesuze Apr 7, 04:07 PM #helen: yup everything on tripod! was much fun and 30 mins was just enough time to see the storybook gardens
lorraine: yeah it was so much fun in storybook land! i dunno about the price tho its a bit steep but prolly ok if you make a day out of it
katie: heh aw thats so cute! but you’re right tho the wall is quite high! setting the timer on my camera and attempting to jump up the wall was quite tricky…
pixiepants: in pokolbin near pokolbin village. you cant miss them there are giant sign everywhere
caseinpoint: thanks dude!
wills: ooh yes visit for the awesome wine and cheeses!
