Bosworth Battlefield

We had a bit of time today before you’re off on holiday (!) with Mummy & Isabelle later on – you’re very excited about this!!

The weather was nice this morning so we went for a walk around the battle field. I think most of it went slightly over your head but you did seem to enjoy all the gore of the Tudor age!

Broombriggs Adventure!

Despite the fact it’s on the doorstep (in relative terms) I’d never been to Broombriggs before – it was an adventure for all of us!

We had a really good time exploring, it was just a shame that the windmill was closed due to the virus. Still that didn’t dampen the spirits too much and we enjoyed exploring.

Fruit Picking & Bike Ride

It’s that time of year again when the fruit in the fields gets it lovely red colour and (provided you’ve booked) you can go and pick them!

You were both very good and didn’t want to eat any until after we’d paid (despite how your lips look!) – it was nice to see such a strong moral compass 😊

Once we’d got back we met up with Nana and went for a socially distant picnic in the University and just managed to dodge the showers!

Mocha Cupcakes

After a week of super hot weather, we got to Saturday and it was a very mixed bag! As we couldn’t do very much outside we decided to bake and decorate some cakes. You choose a very blue icing for the ones you did!

A new Christmas tradition

Given this was our first year without Grandad we decided to do something a bit different and we headed out for lunch on the 27th with Nana, Auntie Cath and Mr Darren.

It made a nice change m, and who knows it maybe something we decided to do more regularly. Your pudding was certainly impressive!

Skating in to Christmas

You’ve both been looking forward to trying out ice skating again this year so today Mummy took you back to the Garden Centre at East Bridgeford.

Isabelle got the hang of it and was confident skating on her own.

You sat on a dolphin but right at the end of the session when the rink was clear had a go at skating on the ice just holding on to the dolphin!

It was a lot of fun! Afterwards we went for hot chocolates with Grandma and Grandad to warm up again!

Grange Farm Christmas Barn

We went back to the Grange Farm Christmas Barn today – it was amazing and full of beautiful decorations!

We chose some to go on a stand Mummy had bought last year and it looks lovely!

We found lots of lovely things and treated ourselves to hit chocolate and cake!

The Fair

Tonight mummy took you both to the fair – you’d been very excited about it this year.

We were in town on Wednesday and loved watching it all being set up – you had a big list of rides to go on!

You were both given £10 by Mummy and you chose to go on the big wheel, the bumper cars, a train ride and a bus ride!

Isabelle enjoyed two fun houses this year – in particular the moving steps and we all giggled when Isabelle got covered in foam at the end of one of the fun houses!

Grandma and Grandad joined us and we all had a treat chippy tea at their house afterward to warm up!

Singing Reindeer

We were looking for somewhere warm and dry we could go and look around today so we went to a garden centre. They had their Christmas decorations out but your favourite thing was the singing reindeer at the front of the store – we had to go back three times to watch them!
