We were spending a few days with my best friend earlier this week, and we got to do something a little unusual. A day spent Tracking dinosaurs in Staffordshire no less, and you can imagine how much fun Monkey had. I’ve been wanting to take Monkey to visit the National Forest Adventure Farm in Tatenhill, Burton…Continue reading A day spent tracking dinosaurs in Staffordshire

Wandering around the ruins of Hailes Abbey
We took Daddy P to the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire railway last Sunday for his Fathers Day treat.

Then the penny dropped, it was finally time to go spend…Continue reading Exploring Chastleton House

I…Continue reading Springtime fun at the Manor #CountryKids

I’d figured that Monkey would be worn out from school and we’d just spend a day together at home chilling out. He had a high temperature when he went to bed and ended up in with me…Continue reading Good Friday at Blenheim Palace #CountryKids
