Half term fun at the Old Minster Hall ruins

Maria, or 'Pippi' as the kids call her (their grandmother), came to stay with us for the last few days of the half term break and as the weather was so gorgeous we decided to go down to the ruins by the river at Old Minster. I love it down there. The kids have so much fun climbing over and playing hide and seek in the ruins, skimming stones on the lake, visiting the cows in the fields and climbing up the walls on the lane back to the village to peek into the gardens of the rich people's houses!!!

gotcha!

The kids aren't looking too pleased here - they didn't take too well to being told that 'no, we will not be going to the pub for a drink!' Normally we'd take them for a lemonade at the Old Swan and Mill, but it is rather embarrasing to be walking past other people and have your 4/5 year old exclaim, 'I really need a drink, let's go to the pub!' What must they think :-) !!!
