Jofli sees horses and has a coastal journey
Yesterday we went to see lots of heavy horses at a centre. The highlight was a little foal called Thomas!! Unfortunately Thomas’ daddy is struggling to get the pictures from this visit so he is pictured with Thomas (the little boy, not the horse) in the village of Ford close by. Today we parked on…

Jofli goes to the castle and beach
Yesterday was a bit rainy again so Jofli stayed in. However, Thomas enjoyed a trip to Alnwick Castle and got very close to a kestrel as his daddy was walking him up on the ramparts! Today we went to Bamburgh Castle, and Jofli had to let Thomas out of the stocks. We then went to…

Jofli goes by bus
It was very wet yesterday so Thomas decided to leave Jofli at home as he didn’t want him to get his fur wet. However today was much better. We went on the bus to Seahouses, booked our trip to the Farne Islands, and went to a playgym. After lunch and nap time, we went to…

Jofli travels to Northumberland
Today Jofli (with his friend Thomas) went to Etal. He visited the castle first of all, then travelled on the little steam train to Heatherslaw. The return trip was nearly an hour so it was well worth it! ‘We did really well for the weather as it only started to rain this evening once my…

Easter Break 1

Things have moved on rather and with multiple…

Jofli goes on a train
Thomas took Jofli for his first ride on a train as he went on the Scarborough North Bay Railway. This railway has been there for years and years and is pulled by Diesel engines which look like steam, and are kept in beautiful condition. The journey starts at the old pleasure end of the bay,…

Roundhay Park and Tropical World
Another trip out today to somewhere local I’d never been before! Roundhay Park is a massive park in north Leeds. As well as loads of grass, a cricket pitch, two lakes and good facilities, it also houses formal gardens and Tropical world. I think Thomas enjoyed the day but Tropical World was a little warm…

Cannon Hall Farm
We hopped a couple of junctions down the M1 to visit Cannon Hall Farm; a very popular destination for families. There is a working ‘open farm’, rare breeds, falconry and events such as ferret and sheep racing. There are a number of brand new sheds for rare breeds, farrowing, milking etc and they seem to…

Summer at Harewood
Not often we go to Harewood in the nice warm summer, but today we had a lovely relaxing day there. Good to see the walled kitchen garden by the other side of the lake developing extremely well. Lots of French marigolds on the terrace from the Tour de France. Scones in the cafe get better,…
