Grizedale Forest was lovely as usual ( http://www.forestry.gov.uk/forestry/infd-5k2b6b). We parked about two miles from the main visitors centre and met up with about six other familes (and as many dogs!) and wandered through the forest trails to have our picnic lunch at the centre. There is a huge adventure playground there and a cafe and while the kids ran around playing we all sat chatting and catching up. The forest has lots of different sculptures dotted along the trails so it's a lovely place to visit whatever the weather, fortunately it wasn't too bad today!

Ben fell asleep on the way home as he had been on the go all day but they have both been really good today and enjoyed themselves. Had to spend all this evening ironing as I just havn't been able to get my head around it all week and we have two cottages to clean tomorrow (Oh what joy!!).
