Autopilot

Our planned picnic at Bradgate Park backfired when I went on autopilot and ended up on the wrong road which just happened to be the road to Calke Abbey... so we changed our plans! We had a lovely picnic in the shade of the walled gardens before heading off to the garden of imagination for a good long play.

 The boys played for ages in the greenhouse which was growing tomatoes, peppers and grapes. There were some juicy, ripe tomatoes that smelled delicious. Everywhere you look were signs of summer, with beautiful flowers and fruits ready for the picking.

 

And to end the day, Mr Bee rolled all the way down the steep hill in front of the house, ticking off yet another activity from his 'Things to do before you are 11 3/4'!
