Braving the Storms

A stormy morning brought winds and rain to most of the UK. We braved the weather in our wellies and raincoats for a trip to Belton House for some well deserved Mama and Louie time. We spent most of our time in the indoor adventure area, sipping tea and munching our little picnic.
We had a little stroll around the gardens, finding our way to the maze, spotting millions of snowdrops and sheltering from the rain under huge trees.
During the afternoon the gardens were closed due to the high winds, so we made a swift exit. It was a scary drive home (I hear that lorries have been swept from the roads today!) and we were glad to be back home with a delicious bowl of spaghetti and meatballs from the slow cooker!
