After a disappointing summer, weather-wise, the last few weekends have given us some lovely weather so this saturday we popped up the road to the Lickey Hills (about 3 miles). Here are a few photos of us playing on the minature castle and in the woods up there. The view from Beacon Hill over the [...]

Second Birthday for Elliot. Trip to Thomas Land at Drayton Manor Park near Tamworth. Queues, picnics, soaking wet log flume, pitch black walzers, endless Thomas the tank merchandise, splendid sunshine, great family day out, not enough hours in the day, elated little boy, fat controller, Dimitri Miroslav Randompole fishing something out of the log flume, [...]
