Bank Holiday Weekend

What a way to spend a long weekend.
Prepping the bedroom for decorating, unfortunately the plaster work was just atrocious so we need to wait for Grandad to come back from his holiday until we can make any progress.
Indulging in special breakfasts, home made croissants and McClymont McMuffins.
Shopping for Papa, a new suit and shirts and ties so he looks the part for his fantastic new job.
Lots of time spent out of doors, in the garden, in the fields and a late afternoon picnic in the meadow, Papa's first time.

Wandering

A warm afternoon walk through our local fields and footpaths. A nature walk of sorts, flower spotting and chasing butterflies. Mr Bee wanted to pick some cow parsley to take home. What a way to spend an afternoon.

So Busy!

An early morning adventure with our dear friend Becka before we miss her for weeks on end as she works abroad for the summer! We headed to Stratford-Upon-Avon for a wander around the pretty little town (and for a history lesson Becka ;) ) We had a cracking lunch at our favourite haunt before the sun came out and we decided to head to somewhere for a good old run around.

We chose Farnborough Hall, not too far away but an easy journey home. The house belongs to a family of three generations still living under the very large roof. 

 The views were simply breathtaking and we spent ages playing in the gardens. What a beautiful place. Mr Bee especially enjoyed playing hide and seek with us in the parterre.

 We dropped Becka off at home, and decided to grab a little something to eat whilst we were in the city. A late night spent shopping, choosing a new outfit and finally buying the candle that we have been waiting for John Lewis to get in stock! I can't decide whether to burn it now or wait until we have decorated our now bare bedroom!

Charlecote Park

A long, lazy day spent at Charlecote Park with Anna and Isaac. It was a  first cream tea of the year, flower spotting, plant buying, long walking kind of day.

Out of Doors

All day.
Breakfast al fresco, taking toys outside, talking to Ayo through the fence with goggles and ear defenders on because he was being noisy, best frock just because, bike ride to the park, roast chicken with salad al fresco again of course, chocolate fudge loaf with mascarpone, early bed.

A Wildflower Walk

 

 

A quiet Saturday afternoon spent at Felicity Wood its surrounding areas. Mr Bee and I packed up a bag with a blanket and some things to do and went exploring. We waded through the stream to get across to the meadow, coloured in fishes and practiced writing, stumbled across a ginormous patch of Forget Me Nots, millions of bluebells and lots of dandelions and clocks. We found a natural spring and climbed rocks and big hills.
Even though the sky above us was a dull shade of grey, we had one of the best days out in a very long time.
