Back before the kids returned to school a couple of weeks ago we had the luxury of a bit of extra time. School generally goes back straight after new year but this year we had a few extra days and it was really nice. Time to do normal ‘out of school’ stuff that isn’t part of the crazies that is christmas. Our plan on the thursday was to go out and explore a hill that is about 40 minutes drive from here but our morning preparing was hindered by a long conversation with the insurers with regards to our car crash, you can read about it by clicking on the link.
So we were left with less time and having a few boring school shoes errands as well..we had to opt for staying local. But I think we managed to have quite a nice afternoon..considering. A nice lunch, playtime and then walk through one of our local national Trust properties..all be it totally deserted!! Success grasped from the hands of defeat!
Lovely photos! I love the one of the 3 of them peeping through. x

What a lovely place to have right on the door stop. Everyone looks like they are having a lovely time. Hope the car is back up and running now.
Those smiles say it all – an outstanding success. Good luck with the car.
Sorry to hear about your crash! A lovely collection of pictures 🙂

I love the National Trust and need to do more trips this year to get the most out of the membership. So lovely to have somewhere on the doorstep. Lovely pics x

Ok, your kids are just too cute, lovely smiles.
We had National Trust membership a few years ago before kids, mainly to get free car parking in the lake district but think it may be good to get again now that we like getting out with the little ones.

what lovely photos, I will go read about your crash, hoping everyone was perfectly fine and it was only your car that needed some sort of repair!

Hopefully you will have a good week this week.
Those curls are just amazing and I couldn’t focus on much else.

Yes, sorry to hear about your crash. I love the close up photos, they are gorgeous and look like they are having fun 🙂
I love it when you go somewhere and it is completely empty. I certainly looks like you made the most of having the place to yourselves. Popping over from the Country Kids linky x
