Lotherton Hall

As the weather has finally picked up and we are getting a bit more organized since the arrival of Nell Eve ( yes have finally settled on a middle name) we decided to have an afternoon out at Lotherton Hall. So car packed with kids, double buggy and a picnic we set off.

It was probably one of the warmest days I can remember for ages so the jeans I had on were a big mistake!


We found a lovely spot in front of the house which we had to ourselves. Nell slept the whole time we were there but Isla loved running around the gardens and hiding in the long grass.


The picnic was great and it was really nice to spend the afternoon as a proper family, with our two girls.
Isla doesn't sit still for more than a minute and was off exploring the flower gardens with Andrew in hot pursuit.
I chilled out on the grass with Nell trying to find a bit of shade from the sun.

Andrew played with Isla and was throwing her in the air and catching her, it didn't look that high until you see the pictures.

There really is loads to do at Lotherton, Isla particularly likes the playground, climbing and sliding!


We gave the bird garden a miss on this visit as we planned to come again at the weekend with Antony & Jo.


It takes a bit more effort and organising to get out these days but we are thoroughly enjoying being parents and are looking forward to plenty more trips out. Andrew is keen to take Isla to see Blackpool lights! (not)
