 We had the most wonderful wee trip out to Rays Farm. What a lovely place! Rather expensive to get in to, but a great time. We absolutely adored the young Pygmy Goats (especially the 4-day old one!)... they are on our wish-list! And all the carved figures that we had to look out for on the forest walk were fun. Bubs especially enjoyed being able to handle a baby blue-tit who kept falling out of its hiding place in a hanging basket. The owner asked her to pick it up and put it back in there if she saw it fall out as the chickens were being nasty to it! Amazingly, mum and dad Blue-tit still came to feed it, despite our close proximity and the handling of the chick.

Strawberry picking at Rowberrys, pretty pansies and Sweetpeas - all in one day!

On the camera

 Cardboard cutouts with space for a head are always appealing... whatever one's age!

 A sea of red! Magnificant field of poppies at Bewdley. (pictures taken by Bubs and Spike)

Ok... WHAT is it??!

 Dingle walk and amble round the grounds of Dudmaston Estate.

 Den Building in the Wyre Forest... a great way to spend a morning! Sadly, we all fell short of the mark and our dens all failed the water test! It was fun though!

 Roses from the garden.

 Trying on a gas mask at the 1940s exhibition at Hartelbury Castle.

 Our poppies in the garden... not as spectacular as the field of red, but lovely none-the-less!

 Our Race for Life event in Kidderminster. It was great fun, and both Bubs and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. We walked the 5km, a gentle pace taking us round in about 50mins. There were about 1600 of us taking part... a sea of pink!
