Dyrham Park

Justin had Monday off, he finished decorating so off we went to Dyrham Park. We had fun exploring the house, especially in the kitchen where they encourage you to be 'hands on' with everything in there. Note the crazy outfits which were the result of Justin & Ben raiding the dressing up box! In the pic of Justin & Ben walking towards the house, you can see Bath in the distance...Looking forward to going back to do the Easter Egg hunt...

Spring has sprung in Lacock

While Daddy was decorating at home, Ben and I decided to take a trip to Lacock to see the Spring flowers. It was a beautiful morning and we had fun following the flower trail around the grounds of the Abbey trying to spot the different flowers on our list. We also managed to squeeze in a visit to the playground.

Justin runs the Bath Half

Well done to Justin who completed the Bath Half Marathon (in wet, cold and windy conditions) in 1 hr 53 mins - excellent! (he even said he had enough energy to run it again....London it is then??) Many thanks again to Nanna & Grandad for looking after Ben.

Bradford on Avon

We enjoyed a lovely sunny spring like morning in Bradford on Saturday where Ben had fun squelching in the mud and splashing in puddles. We rounded it off with tea and toast in a quirky little cafe with a roaring fire. An added bonus to the morning was seeing a steam train go through the station (I tried to take a picture but it was going too fast...). A few pics from the morning...

Nanna Hunt's Birthday (and a blast from the past!)

We all had a lovely day in Cardiff last Saturday helping Nanna Hunt celebrate a special birthday. It was also really great to see Nanna & Pappa's friends Roger & Irene who I haven't seen in about 20 years....After lunch Pappa surprised us all by bringing out a birthday cake which he had decorated himself - Nanna was stunned/speechless/crying/laughing all at the same time (note reaction photo below). What a great job Pappa did at cake decorating though we did poke fun at the wording asking him who 'Ron' was... Not sure if they look at this blog but great to see you Roger & Irene - lets not leave it another 20 years... :-)

Everything is Awesome!

Ben is on half term this week so we decided to take a trip over to Bath and see the new Lego movie in 3D. Ben had a great time on the train where he enjoyed watching the 'moving map'. We enjoyed the film, though I had to chuckle when during the film one of the characters says 'Is he the bad guy?' and Ben shouted out 'yes!' (we had a few head turns...). Now we have the song 'Everything is Awesome' stuck in our heads and Ben has been singing it all the way home...

Mud Mud Glorious Mud

There is one benefit to all this rain we have been having lately and that is the creation of lots of lovely mud puddles to squelch in! Now, who's going to clean the wellies....
