A lovely weekend

We had a lovely weekend this week made even better as it was a bank holiday. On Saturday the weather was lovely, so we were able to be outside at a friend's fourth birthday party.

The children had a treasure hunt.....

.....looking for necklaces and coins amongst the bubbles....




...with their treasure bags......

....and finding lots and lots......

...of treasure!

On Sunday we had a wet and windy day out at Audley End house and gardens owned by English Heritage.
The weekend was special as they have opened the stables for the first time so there were lots of displays to see.



The following are the display of the 17th Lancers and they looked spectacular. One of the horses even used to be part of the Queen's Household Cavalry.
