I had a spontaneous moment yesterday. I jumped up from watching PJ Masks with Sam (2), and just felt the need to be out in the Spring air. This is the first day this year that I think we have had some sunshine. I just wanted to enjoy it!
Kenilworth Castle, Warwickshire
It was quiet at Kenilworth, and there weren’t many children around for this late in the summer holidays. I let the kids lead the way and I just followed to supervise and keep them safe. I pushed the empty pushchair while Sam held my hand and walked beside me. Sometimes the older children would take Sam’s hand for a few minutes before handing him back to me so they can run off to investigate something new.
Stirling Castle, Scotland
We learnt a little bit about Stirling castle’s occupation and development throughout its history, and the tour guide had loads of stories and was funny, but it wasn’t long until a little hand tugged mine and Max said “I want to go back to the car”. So I took the littles with me and had a stroll around the castle without a guide.
