Cotswolds Farm Park

Only the British would brave a cold, windy, muddy day to visit the farm. Well, what other choice do you have when 3/4 of the year is cold, with the other 1/4 being 'not-quite-as-cold-but-probably-wet' ? The drive was longer than we thought and the kids wanted to know at inceasingly regular intervals ' muuum, how long 'til we get there?' Needless to say, they didn't manage to stay awake (it was only 45mins away!)

As soon as we parked up I was all for turning around and going right back home - it was cold! And really muddy! I haven't lived in the country long enough yet to get used to all the mud (and let's not go there about the smell!). You can take the girl out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the girl....
Unfortunately the children wanted to stay and for the sake of peace on Earth, I gave in. We stayed. It actually turned out to be a lot of fun - and did I say cold? Here are some pics of the many fun things we did.....
