Still Celebrating

As usual, it wouldn't be a birthday without a trip to a National Trust property! We joined our Stephenson pals for a late birthday trip to Canons Ashby, a run around the grounds, a kick about and a lovely birthday lunch. 

Good Friday Day Trip

We decided to be brave and visit a National Trust property on their busiest day of the year, Good Friday. So we chose Canons Ashby to visit as it is usually quite a peaceful place. Though there were LOTS of cars (and creative parking!) it didn't feel as busy as some of the places we have visited on busy days.

We enjoyed the sunshine, saw some bumblebees and had a long mooch around the house - bliss.

Canons Ashby, Autumn Edition

Today we visited Canons Ashby, one of my firm favourite National Trust properties. I just love how peaceful it is there, Mr Bee is so happy to entertain himself in the garden leaving me to snap away and leaving Pappy to sit and read his new book.

It seems that I have another new NT hobby though, befriending property cats. Not sure on this ones name, maybe Snowflake or something along that vein, but she took a liking to me and curled up and sat on my knee for a good 20 minutes whilst the boys played hide and seek!

Just a usual day out for us, a bit of peace, a bit of quiet and a bit of craziness too!

Our Week

Another exhausting week has flown by. We have been on a delightful night time bat walk, Louie has learned how to ride his bike (all by himself!), played games at Calke Abbey and had a delicious mid week roast. Louie has been settling in to school and we have been preparing for our impending house move, brimming with excitement.
