After a rather long winded journey up to Northumberland we got there for lunch and had a brilliant long weekend! Bea ADORES her Auntie Katie and Imi and Arch AND for the first time wasn’t even frightened of Uncle Joseph! It makes me a little teary seeing the children all together….and then remembering how rarely they get to do it. After a lovely first day at home we set off to Cragside Saturday for a (slightly damp at times) ramble, picnic, park action and general loveliness!!

Lunch break!

Hiding from Arch!

After finishing our walk around the lake we hit the park with plenty of zip wire action!

And some ice cream to finish of course!!

Sunday was more ice cream, this time at Morwick Dairy!! DELISH-NESS! Then onto Warkworth for a mooch and Castle ruins which the children loved! No pics from Mummy but Daddy might fill in the gaps! Monday was our last day which always taints it BUT we had a brilliant time at the Glendale Show, lots of animals, mooching, rides, bouncing, eating and very happy squiddies!! Mummy left her phone at home so again no pics from me but we did take some snaps for Grammie which are too cute not to blog!!

Well it began at 3:45 am last Thursday morning. Daddy had a days work in his Chester office so we decided to combine that with visiting Auntie Katie! We scooped Bea out of bed at 4:30am and she proceeded to talk for the next 4hrs hours without any sign of needing sleep!! We dropped Daddy off at 8:30 and set off for our day of eating and shopping….quite literally! We girls were in our element!! First stop porridge breakie in the City!

After lots of shopping we took in some culture at Chester Cathedral. Bea really loved it and in her best whisper (Mummy said she needed to speak quietly!) “Mummy it’s really huge and so pretty!” which it was!!

A spot of lunch after a little 45 minute car snooze between the City centre and Macarthy Glen where we did more shopping….and had some coffee and cake!

After we’d finally exhausted our retail fix we checked into our Hotel and went for a fab swim and some jacuzzi action! Back to the room for a bath and chill before Daddy got back and then we all went for a delish dinner! Bea was a star all day and LOVED her special late night and “Holiday Hotel bed”.

And to top it off….bacon and sausage for breakfast!

Onto Auntie Katie’s….
