A Shropshire Day Out

So here we are at The Barn. After coming here for nearly 2 years we have some favourite things to do. Already on Tuesday we had a Hungry Horse lunch and a visit to Enginuity. Then yesterday we had a well good day out...

Firstly we visited Wenlock Edge to admire the view...

Do you think Little W was feeling the cold wind at all? Then we carried on to Carding Mill Valley to climb up The Long Mynd. Here we are at the division of paths...

...where we turned left up to the Long Spout waterfall.

We saw plenty of sheep and little lambs...

...and even when we had our picnic we had a sheep in attendance...

Then it was on via a drive through Corve Dale to Dudmaston Hall. The banks in the grounds are great for roly-polys, and the little ones couldn't resist.

After touring the house we ended up in the old kitchen where they could all practise their drawing. Here's Little Miss in action...

My plan worked! It tired them out so much I had a very peaceful eveing to myself after they had gone of early to bed. Let's see if I can repeat the trick today. They are certainly struggling to get up this morning!
