Cranwell

Hi

After Knutsford we travelled down to Cranwell to visit 2 lots of friends there. Our first stop was at Sarah's. Sarah had been in the Falklands with us. Thomas was in Jacob's year and Finlay was in pre school. Sarah also helped in pre school. It was lovely to see them again and it was as if we'd not been apart. The children had a great time with the chickens in the garden. I've included a photo of Abi chasing after one. They also had child horse jumps so the other photo is of Jacob jumping them. We stayed for one night with Sarah and joined in with a treasure hunt the next day around the quarters. After lunch we headed off for Helen's house. She's about 5 mins from Sarah in the actual village. We know Helen from our time at Leuchars. Jacob and Abi were very excited to see William, Issy, Sam and Alice. I've included a photo of all of them in the door way. Abi slept in with Issy and Alice and Jacob was in with William. They eventually went to sleep at about 9.30pm. No one wanted to leave but we had to get the hire car back so we all went for a picnic and play at Belton House - photos of them on some play thing. So our trip away was a great success. Mum and Dad were pleased to have us back. Thank you to Sarah and Helen for having us to stay, feeding us and entertaining us too!
