Day two Cotswold Farm Park

Ok so waking up at 6 on a Saturday, normally a drag.

Not today just WOW.

I just had to get up and go and have a quick explore.

Meanwhile Naomi is tugged up and cosy.

Once we had breakfast we headed to the farm park which is included in the price of the stay. 

It is full of fascinating history through the years telling you not only about the animals, but what went on during the time. 

They also have a mini wildlife area at the beginning of the park, which is where we headed to first. 

It was full of lots of interesting information about farming. 

Next to the wildlife area where cool long horned cows. 

After the wildlife park we went for a wonder around the animals. 

Now this is impressive being able to lick and itch on his bottom! 

I saved the best till last. I just love the colouring on this goat, I've never seen anything like it. 

Stan's adventures. Cotswold Farm Park. Day One

So it's been over a year since we have taken Stan out.

I won't lie I was sceptical about sleeping, the cold and putting up the awning. 

I thought I'd share the adventure with you all.

Let's first appreciate the sound of a whistling kettle, I'll never get bored of the sound!

So this is only the second time we have set up the awning and we did it in about 40 minutes which is great as we're getting the hang of it.

So now we are all ready to, oh just relax!

We had made food for the evening, but decided to take advantage of the on site cafe, and OK for me it was quite expensive, but Wow what a pizza just delicious!!

Naomi had jalapeños on her, omg it literally burnt my mouth. Happily I had Hawaiian with extra olives, just mmmmmm.

It was amazing how quickly the temperature dropped in the evening to about 2° wow the air was COLD!

So we brought the camp chairs in and set up for the evening.

Then off for a last loo stop, (I'd just like to say the toilet block facilities are so impressive) .  They were not here when I came years ago with my Son.  Also we are very grateful as we have only just come out of lockdown that they have opened these facilities, the shower blocks are currently still out of use. 

On the way back there was no need for a torch with such a full moon. 

So now it's time for nights out, Day Two tommorw where we visit the Adams farm. 

Night night. 

 

All the weather in one walk!

So we are now amazingly nearly half way through April already!! 

Here in the UK the weather has been very unpredictable. 

Today we decided to go for a walk to the local hill.  When I looked out first thing it was boys sky's, but chilly with a risk of ice showing in the car when we drove to park up. 

In the distance of the picture above right in the middle of the image is Malvern hill range and it was snow capped. 

For the first half hour of the walk we wished we had not brought so many layers to wear as the sun was out. 

But all of a sudden I turned around and the sky had gone very dark! 

It was mad, out of nowhere the snow came down. 

But when you reached the top of the hill it was beautiful to look at. 

The well known lone tree looked amazing. 

We did a nice circular walk heading back through the lower ground. 

We stopped off at Cleeve Hill Golf course for a lovely, much needed cuppa. 

We didn't walk too far, but it was still great fun. 

Easter Sunday

Well the weather is glorious for Easter Sunday here in the UK.

We decided to have a family walk to the local woods that we have discovered and again we have found another longer route.

We are now really entering spring and wow what a difference a few weeks makes.  Everywhere you look is a different shade of green and so many wild flowers.
