We had a bit of a shouty cross evening yesterday with the kids being really bloody awkward about going to bed. I'd spent too much time indoors which I don't cope with very well so we decided this morning at 9.30 we were going to go to Belton house. By 10.15 we'd had breakfast, brushed teeth, got dressed and made a packed lunch, which is very good going in our book.

We got Jack in on the way so Rich could put his shoe back on.

Had an absolutely lovely day. The kids were really well behaved and it was sunny. Saw Adam, Laura, Luca and Livy in the cafe so the kids had fun with them in the soft play bit whilst we had a cuppa and catch up. Home via the yard. Top day.
