Six Word Saturday

Let Me Take You To Creswell

I'm aware I sometimes have been gloomy on here,wanting biscuits to take all the problems of the world away,so this week I wanted to show you something pretty.

On Bank Holiday Monday we went for a day out at a local beauty spot,it was a gloriously warm day and I took lots of photos which I thought I would share with you.


Creswell is in the countryside,it's a historical archaeological site,it's surrounded by trees which open out into a lake.




Young Chips loves it here,there are ducks to feed,paths to run along,waterfalls to watch and the bestest thing...cliffs to climb!


This appeals to Chips immensely,he's up and down those crags like anything!He ends up really hot and sweaty but I figure all the exercise must be good for him and it's great to see him bomb around like a little mountain goat.To see more of what the boys got up too click here

At the top of these craggy hills are caves and in those caves used to live all sorts of wild and dangerous animals...even wolves!People come here and go on cave tours,well the brave and fearless do,we just like to peep inside the caves and imagine the past and make a few echoey woooos.


I had never seen it so busy there before,the place was packed with families making the most of the lovely bank holiday sunshine.


Summer had definitely arrived that day,it has gone now,but on Monday it was blue skies and pretty white clouds and very warm.

Lots of children were in their summer clothes,shorts and tee shirts and I saw lots of babies out,waving their chunky little legs in the warm summer sun.


The blossom trees were so pretty,I bet that after the wind we have had recently lots of that blossom has blown off.





We had such a relaxing walk around the lake,it was lovely to see the boys playing together.

  1. What a lovely trip. There were two holiday days here last week (jours feriƩs( Wednesday was VE day, Thursday was Ascension Day and I don't reckon many people went in to work on Friday either! But it was anything but warm.

  10. This was a really nice outing, Jess. I can just see Chips doing it all in very well. About 50 years ago my sons would have loved doing something like this. I remember the time when we ventured to Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas, they climbed everything in sight and even brought home a sign that I didn't find out about until we finished the jaunt in Nebraska.
