Olly’s first sleepover
and it is at Center Parcs π
Win for Olly π
He has been swimming, rock climbing, lunch out and has a panto to watch tonight….
It has been v strange for the rest of us – we nipped out for lunch and the cinema (we saw “Get Santa” – very cool film) and mummy spoke to Olly on the phone this evening. Olly is keen to go swimming again in the morning π
Let’s hope he sleeps OK tonight – we have had a week of poor sleeping so we are just hoping that he is simply tired out and sleeps well tonight π
Biking in Grizedale Forest
The boys took a Friday night trip to Windermere for a few cheeky pints before staying at Eds place and heading out to Grizedale Forest first thing on Saturday morning.
It was pretty cold (1 Celcius) but only a relatively short trail (circa 10 miles) but it was pretty hard going – daddy has half a cold so wasn’t feeling 100% so it took about half the ride to actually feel in the zone – the forest track sections were really good with lots of jagged rocks to keep us on our toes. The black section was visited at the end of the ride and added about another 2 miles to the overall tally as we had to get all the way back to the top of the hillside – daddy did a great job of falling off right at the top in front of the chaps who were repairing the trail – to their amusement π
We hope to be able to get back there sometime as it was a lot of fun all told, just a long way to go there and back in a day.
Beamish Museum Day
Up early this morning and out to Beamish Museum to make the most of our annual passes π
A truly terrific day was enjoyed by all in cold but lovely weather and we got to explore the parts of the museum that were closed in March when we were there last π
A long way to drive but so worth it π
Christmas has truly landed in Beamish already π
The steam powered carousel was just incredible – only managed the one snap of it on the phone – see above.
Happy Birthday Cayton – 6 today
We all hope you have a fab day π
