In early June 2011, we spent some days in Northumberland with Jenny’s parents. Jenny had found a superb cottage, located between Wooler and Belford and with beautiful views of the rolling hills characteristics of the region. The cottage also had a very large outdoor space as the weather was very good, we spent a lot of time outside.
It was a poppet’s first holiday with her grandparents and we did lots of activities. We went walking to Holy Island to practise walking with Mummy and nanny, we went off-road push-chairing at Cragside.
We went to the beach in Bamburgh, discovered waves and sand … and obviously learnt how to build sand castles. JP gave all of us a geology lesson at Bamburgh Castle.
We played a lot at home too. The poppet was on fine form and entertained everybody and still managed to keep her parents awake at night a few times…
We all went for a long walk up and round the “slightly bigger hill” west of Wooler. It’s amazing how far a Mountain Buggy pushchair can go…
Grand’ Pa even let A. drive his classic car!
That’s it. More photos in the gallery as usual.
