Sunday 28th May
We had a bit of a slow start, although the boys were in our
room early. Ian and I got up with the them and gave them breakfast. Eventually,
we were all up and fed and decided not to go out this morning.
This afternoon, we drove up to Bolton Abbey, to the
Cavendish Pavilion car park so that we could walk up to the Strid. There were
many people there but it was fine – not so many a distance from the carpark.
The boys were not happy with the walk and I had mistakenly thought that leaving
cake in the car was going to work. The scenery was lovely and the views down to
the river were beautiful, but the boys were very moany.
Finally, we were back at the car, where we stoked up on
cake. Arthur then was desperate to try out his new birthday cricket bat, so the
big chaps found some space. Fred didn’t want to join in, so stayed with me, and
we were highly amused to find a goosander on the river, with many ducklings.
When it left the rock it was standing on, to swim downriver, some of the
ducklings hitched a ride on its back.
Back to the house for tea. The table tennis table is proving
to be a hit, as is the game of battleships we found in a cupboard.
