Kedleston Hall

Today Louie and I made a return visit to Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire. We have visited once before in the cold of winter, but it was freezing so we didn't stay for very long at all! Knowing the forecast was going to be fair today, I packed us a bag and drove us up the motorway. Louie had a grand time doing the wildlife trail, finding animal tracks, leaves, looking inside trees and making rubbings of various leaves and barks.
After a fantastic lunch (cheese toastie with homemade boozy chutney), we ventured in to the house which was just phenomenal. Breathtaking.

Whilst we were in the area (sort of), we dropped into Nottingham to visit Papa at work for the first time. We took him some goodies and joined him on his tea break. Louie made friends with the secretary and played table football and drew some pictures for Papa before we started off for home for a well earned rest!
