Well, today was Open Farm Sunday (
http://www.leafuk.org/ofs/visit/event_details.eb?guid=2RRVTHNXTS.8KPFON0GKP5PE ) and as little boy was really looking forward to his annual tractor trailer ride we were really looking forward to it too.
Last year was glorious sunshine, pond dipping and tractor rides ( 4) and dancing to a live band on the ancient farmyard cobbles. I was also heavily pregnant with our second baby ( unbeknown to us a little girl) and Gabe was almost 2. So although he loved the day he didn't quite understand everything going on.

Well, this year we kept looking at the weather thinking the torrential rain would clear up. Off we set on the 45 minute drive to the nearest open Farm Sunday - the same please as last year and for some reason it didn't occur to us that the rain might actually GET WORSE!!
It was absolutely slatting it down by the time we arrived. And as both kids we asleep in the back of the car we did for one selfish moment consider not going at all, we discussed this in the car park but our fate was sealed when Gabe woke up - we put on our wellies and waterproofs and off we went : -

As we left the Farm there were about 2 visitors left ( and they were probably family)
we had a fantastic time and although very chilly, nothing hot tea and cake couldn't fix.
Til next year xx
