Weston Park (A Bit Rainy)

Today we went to visit Weston Park - not far from where we were yesterday. Our cunning plan was to get there early and explore outside before it got wet, then have lunch and then visit the house.

We went and found the maze...

It could do with growing a bit, but it was planted less than two years ago.

After an explore of the grounds we went to the woodland adventure playpark. The little ones ran towards it and, before we could stop them, had come down the slide. Oops. Two pairs of wet trousers. And they weren't going to dry in the sun today - the rain had started now. The special treat, though, was the miniature railway. Little W loves trains. At least in the station the train was dry.

We had lunch and did the tour of the house, doing both of the quizzes. The staff in each of the rooms were very helpful and friendly. I think they were glad to see us - I'm not sure they got any other visitors all afternoon.

Then a slight hitch in the cunning plan. Yes it was a cunning plan - about as good as one of Baldrick's - we still had to do the outdoor Easter trail. By the time we got to the last clue at Paine's Bridge...

...everything was getting pretty soggy - and so were we. But we solved the puzzle and the kids got an Easter Egg each. Here we are on the way back to the car with our booty...

No need to shout "Watch out for cars - you're in a car park" - ours was the only one.
