2014 Week 34 Day 1

2014 Week 34 Day 1 – Another busy day means a lot of photographs again. The day started with fencing and so as not to have the little ones missing out, they were given floppy swords to play with. Poor Willow, being constantly chased by Felix. Lucky she is a toughie! The bog boys themselves, […]

2014 Week 33 Day 7

2014 Week 33 Day 7 – The reason I booked this resort was not only the swimming pool, but also the activities for the children. The kids loved the jet skis, though Felix had more fun  falling off than staying on I think! And Barnaby really enjoyed the propeller that helped him be even more […]

The house and grounds have belonged to the National Trust since 1929, so it was a cheap day […]

2014 Week 32 Day 7 – Our last day here on our own and we thought we would manage the walk up to the waterfall, as we had it on good authority that it was neither too long nor too strenuous and so I thought I could cope with the kids on my own for it! […]
