Hunting the hood

We went to Sherwood to find Mr Hood, we didn't find him or his merry men...

The sun shone though

Brodsworth in the Spring...

Recently re-opened after a break there have been some changes at Brodsworth... a new play area for the children. Today was an egg hunt, wandering around the gardens looking for Easter Eggs with letters imprinted upon them and then working out the mystery word from the jumbled letters G E E R I H T A.... it took some time to work out...

Lots of great shots in the bright spring mid morning light only for them to have corrupted on the memory card.... [aghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!]

anyway - some pictures....

Snowjoke....

It's all starting to melt, but here's the pictures of the new family member.....

Where'd all that come from

A white blanket this morning... no, not Elspeth's favourite blanky- outside, the "white stuff" loads of it... not sure how long it'll last so we'd best enjoy it while it's here... I walked around the block and it's already started to thaw. So on with the hats, coats and scarves... it's a snowperson making time....

Life for the under 12's gets a boost..

Doncaster has entered the 21st Century for under 12's with a new soft play "Astrabound" opened 12 March and Daddy, Elspeth and Jemima went to visit 16 March - so brand spanking new everything....

3 fun areas and a disco room :-) to explore...

Daddy had a great time... So did the girls... the best bits... the ball pit with the chute to take the balls to an overhead net and the lever to release them all... the air cannon [need I say more!!]

The coffee is tepid - perhaps they don't want pesky lawyers suing them...

highly recommended... they've obviously tapped into a fertile market, a party was kicking off as we left, with the largest fairy facepainter I have ever seen....
