This weekend saw us welcome some visitors in the form or Lydia and Nigel who we had not seen for a good few months. They brought their little man Ted with them who would have lots of fun playing with James and, in fact, it was lovely to see them playing together, especially as they shared very well.
On the Saturday eve, once the boys had gone to bed, we settled in with a few gins, some dinner and good conversation. We had agreed to head over to Beningbrough in the morning.
We arrived at Beningbrough dead on opening time, so much so, we even had to queue to get in. Once in, it was first things first! Cups of hot tea all round as it was quite cold. Once we all had cups of the steaming hot drinks, to the park area we headed. If you have not been, there is a fantastic park there.
Even the big kids got in on the action!
Another big kid!
After we had all had a good play, we decided to go for a walk. More to get into the sun and warm up than anything else. We walked past the fish pond and noticed that their was a thick layer of ice on it. The boys, with some support, had great fun standing on it. This caused all sorts of giggles and squeals to erupt!
After the fun on the ice, we headed back into the warm of the cafe to enjoy another cup of coffee and a cake. That would do for lunch as we had cooked a bacon and blackpudding butty for breakfast. Stornaway blackpudding and homemade bacon none the less.
Lydia, Nigel and Ted headed off to a party and Lyns and I followed suit about ten mins later.
A lovely weekend, made all the better in the fact that it was James’ birthday soon and we would all be getting together again.
