12 June - Farm Park Fun

I will really miss this place tomorrow when we depart, but am looking forward to a new adventure in France. The baby is napping after an exhausting breakfast! The boys and C have gone to the cottage offices to box up some things I bought in Burford to post them home. Hate to drag things to France if we don't have to.

In a bit, we're heading out to see a couple more charming towns and then the Cotswold Farm Park. I hear great things about it.

The kids next door said farewell to the boys this morning. They were all very sad which was adorable. The had been strawberry picking yesterday and brought over their leftover berries and cream.


I've just looked out to see that it's pouring rain. The first rain on our trip. I guess we'll be wearing our jackets today.

Lower Slaughter was gorgeous. Tiny town with a river running through and little bridges. I did a little driving today. It's so scary!

Noticed it was market day in Stow-on-the-Wold and stopped. This was more like it.

The farm park was one of the best places we've ever taken the kids. It has lots of the local breeds of sheep and cattle as well as rare breeds. Oh - and my favorite - the Highland Cow.


We already knew the boys were sheep-crazy, but we didn't expect them to love the chickens SO MUCH.



Had a really fun dinner at The Plough in Ford before coming home to pack.

The baby no longer sits in the stroller:
