Sunday at Stoneywell


On our way to Bradgate Park last night, we drove past Stoneywell, which Mr Bee spotted straight away. He asked a few times whilst we were out if we could visit tomorrow, so when we got home I booked us a parking space for first thing in the morning.






 This little dude followed up around ALL DAY. No word of a lie!



The first stop on our adventure was of course, the Fort. Mr Bee was quite happy in his 'new house', with a 'stove' and a 'garden' however he was quite put out that the roof was not up to his standards. Then we went for a little wander around to kill some time before heading off to lunch.

 (I love this view, all of the angles are so quirky, Mr Gimson, you were one hell of a house designer!)






A Crafters Lunch. Cheese scones, pickle, extra cheese and tea for two. Devoured.

 (A bit more climbing...)






I think the bee was the only child visiting today which meant that he not only had free roam of the Fort but also unlimited swings on the swing in the tree. I think King Louie ( the king of the swingers of course ) spent a good hour playing on the swing whilst I relaxed on a bench nearby. He is getting so good at this swinging lark!







Then we hurried home ready to greet Pappy home from his trip to Burnley. What a gorgeous way to spend a Sunday.

The Golden Hour


 "The golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset during which daylight is redder and softer compared to when the Sun is higher in the sky"





























Last night I took my bee down to Bradgate to take some photos during the Golden Hour. We had fun. He played on the rocks, I played with my new camera.

It's fair to say that I wasn't feeling particuarly in sync with my camera last night and I wasn't very inspired by my surroundings, but I still managed to get a few nice photographs I think!

Year One



Today, this little bee started Year One!

It surely doesn't feel like he has been at school for an entire year, and the past 7 weeks have flown by but it is all worth it when someone wakes up and shouts

'YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY IT'S SCHOOL TODAY'

and then you know its going to be all alright!
