Alnwick Gardens....

Last Monday, 17th September was a holiday for the schools, so we all went to Alnwick Gardens, about an hour and a quarter away. The weather wasn't great, after a couple of weeks of warm sunshine, it was decidely chilly and showery. However, it didn't spoil the fun.
Alnwick Gardens are only about five or six years old, but it's a very popular place to go for a walk around in beautiful surroundings. They also have what is described as the biggest tree house in the world, and it certainly didn't disappoint!


All together in the Gardens at Alnwick.


Sandy and Olivia enjoy a rest.


"The biggest Tree House in the World", apparently!

Not in the tree house, but in a tree!


Back home in the back garden!

We finally finished the wooden dragon boat that Sandy got from Olga in July 2006, yesterday!


This is one of the first words that Sandy learned to write! He has since written many more....
