Like a good chuck of the uk’s population we joined in with the celebrations for the wedding of prince William and Kate Middleton yesterday. I’m not particularly a royalist and to be honest I think that we pay far to much towards them, however Luke has got very excited in the last few weeks about the wedding so we decided to join in.
We went into Mansfield to watch the arrival And the ceremony on the big plasma screens. Luke spotted someone on tv with his facepainted and decided he wanted his doing so we all ended up with our faces painted as you can see from the picture.
We sat in the Marketplace and watched the main part of the ceremony before heading home to watch the parade and having a cuddle on the sofa while waiting for “the kiss”
Needless to say Luke loved the whole day, jack wasn’t as bothered I don’t think and wandered off to play with his trains.
All in all a good day! Thought that the council could have put a bit more effort into the planning, apart from the soapbox racing there was just the usual radio Mansfield van and a big screen. All a little bit disappointing really but we enjoyed watching it all the same!
It’s been a while…

A quick photo update!
We’ve had lots of fun, a day out at the national railway Museum in York was a particular highlight. Would totally Recommend it for a fantastic family day out, entry to the museum is free, parking is about nine pounds but to be fair If you are getting free entry you don’t mind paying it! It was feb half term and the hogwarts express was there. As you can imagine the boys were VERY excited! Unfortunately we queued an hour and a half for a two
Minute ride, slightly disappointing really as we had to rush on and off the train because of the queue sizes. We met Harry and dumbledore and Harry even commented on jack’s mohawk! There was plenty of space to eat our picnic and we had a full day there. The boys loved the bullet train, although jack doesn’t look impressed in the picture above! We will definitely be returning I think!
We’ve also done lots of walking and walked the teversal trail the other day. Luke’s turned into a mountain goat and insisted on climbing every hill and embankment along the way. We managed to get away without andy scrapes and bumps too which is a bonus.
It’s the Easter holidays now so no doubt More photos will be added as the fortnight progresses
