Edinburgh

My lovely mum is in hospital as she had a bad reaction to medication she was on, so back up to Edinburgh I went.

I spent the afternoons visiting mum but had time for a quick stroll round the festival in the mornings.

The town was buzzing and there was a lovely atmosphere. Mum looked so much better too.

Little C time . Part 3

We took a trip up to Edinburgh to stay with my lovely mum and had a few days to go on some outings.

Edinburgh Zoo

The Museum

Our Dynamic Earth

And lastly a quick trip to the Museum of Childhood before returning home.

Little C time. Part 2

We had a busy few days at home.

Play time at the local park.

With a nice lolly to cool down.

Followed by lunch at to local cafe which has a big indoor play area.

The next day we did some painting at the pottery painting cafe.

Where we painted a tank for mummy and daddy.

We then went on to explore a local field.

Before going home and playing diggers.

A fun few days for both of us.

Little C time. Part 1.

Have just had a delightful week with my grandson. A very busy but fun week.

Old fashioned entertainment can be just as much fun. Punch and Judy show had the little ones in stitches.

The next day we had a fun time at Sundown Adventure Park.

Got soaked on the barrels.

Playing around the park.

It was a gloriously sunny day and we had a great time.

Tattershall Castle

A lovely morning spent at Tattershall Castle. They were having a living history day when we were there with lots of people dressed in medieval clothes, living life as they would have done in medieval times.

Mark getting lessons in medieval warfare.

View from the top of the tower.

Old tapestries.

Original old fireplace.

Summer Walk

It's hot and sunny just now so to make the most of this lovely weather we went for a walk around Culverthorpe.

Lots of wheat fields ready to harvest.

A welcome shady spot on the path.

We came upon this sign.

There was indeed a bull in the field and also these Highland Cows with enormous horns. The path we were walking on was very narrow so I don't know what we would have done if one of these had put their head over the fence.

The path cut through farmer's fields.

Then past Culverthorpe hall and the beautiful old houses next to it.

It was a lovely walk but we were more than ready for a long cold drink when we got home.
