Yesterday a lovely sunny day at Charlecote Park National Trust. The children played croquet, Alfie got to try out a pestle and mortar in the Victorian kitchens, we walked in the woodland garden, admired the Sunbeam Talbots in the rally, sniffed the flowers on the parterre, admired the peaches, apples and figs growing in the courtyard, looked for fish in the river and picnicked in the shade of a tree

Alfie's favourite fungus

This morning, a trip to the recycling centre with old electrical appliances, a breakfast and shopping in Asda then Lauren’s fairy hunt birthday party at Brueton Park followed by bubble blowing and playing with Jasmine in the garden.
