Another Perfect Day

A trip to Coughton Court on a Sunday afternoon. Two families and lots of fun. We packed up a mammoth picnic which we ate in the sunny orchard. The 300+ sculptures were a fantastic addition to the beautiful grounds which we were lucky enough to explore even more. We enjoyed ice cream and played on the park, and watched the baby piglets through the little gate to their pen. The boys played catch with the bad apples and blew bubbles. It doesn't get better than this.

Coughton in the Autumn

 The last day of September and we are well into Autumn now. It is getting chillier by the day and the leaves are changing and falling. We decided to head over to Coughton to spend some time together, seeing as we had our Autumn holiday cut short last weekend. Mr Bee remembered the place perfectly, especially where the playground was! He showed Papa around the house gracefully, if not rather speedily.

Inside, the dining room was decorated for Autumn, with beautiful orange and gold leaves and displays. In the main hall, the fire was lit and inviting, a pianist played some favourites and we huddled into a sofa and read the books. It was just perfect.

 We went to explore the grounds, stopping to feed the ducks. Papa, the duck whisperer, was having a good conversation with them, I do worry sometimes...

Just why I love Autumn.
