Life from the back of the pack: Half term part one.

Holidays with young children are hard work, there's no getting round it, pretending its easy! Morning comes just as early and though not having to rush around is great by ten o'clock they are four hours into their day and need to be out of the house! But they are good, they are good for lots of reasons ( most of which seem to bypass Mr Gove!) they are time to spend time together as a family, to have adventures. to learn things you can't learn in a classroom.

So here are just some of our highlights...

Anglesey Abby

We were kindly given a national trust membership in January.

So we headed off to Anglesey Abbey about 20 minutes drive from us.

The snow drops were beautiful as we wandered through the winter gardens on our way to the water mill.

Going up was bad, coming back down was horrendous, but it was great seeing the whole process from wheat to flour. I didn't manage to stop Annie eating the flour they gave her to feel. - she did the same last time we went to a mill, she says she likes it! Still it's an improvement on eating hand gel!

More high places!

A collection of interesting woodland things - well that was what it was supposed to be, in fact it was a zapper that depending on the setting made human beings spin round in circles or be happy depending on the setting!

The girls were reluctant to leave and we still have loads to explore so I think this may become a regular hang out.
