Good morning my lovelies how are you all? I've not got a card for you today but I thought I would share some piccy's with you. A few days ago we went out for the day to Chillingham Castle in Northumberland UK, we are really lucky up here as we do have quite a few beautiful castles.
Click on piccies to enlarge.
This is the front of the castle in the pic is Ben with his arms around Megan & me....I had been twirling Craig's walking stick around & dropped it.........oops lol... Yes I'm silly even outdoors lol.
A better pic of the front, this is the baby of the family, my youngest JakeBob aka Jake.....we tend to call him JakeBob a lot as when he was younger he loved SpongeBob so he became JakeBob lol......
Yep thats me asking for directions.......very ignorant tho, he just ignored me.....how rude!!!
I kinda giggled when I saw this pic as my pony tail looks like the horses tail he hee.....
Yes we found the torture room!! This is Ben, my eldest next to the stretching rack.....this is not a nice room you can just see the edge of a chair next to Ben.....well you dont want to park your bum on that as it is a seat of nails......not nice!!!
This is the dining room...... Megan has nice bump now.....we find out the sex next week....will bubs be an Arjay or a Payton-lea (pronounced Lee).
These horses are dangerous dont be fooled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In that little door way there was a dolls house & a few prams & dolls....toys. Well I had been in to have a lookskie & on my way out the boys were telling me about the large picture frame around the doorway so I turned to look. However when I turned back I hadnt realised I had stepped back so when I turned around I smashed my head hard into the horses head............OUCH!!!! It was so funny tho Megan nearly wet herself......actually so did I lol.
HAIL KING BEN!!!!!!
LOL only in his dreams lol.........yes I'm afraid we are all silly, nearly all the time as well, we are always laughing but its better to laugh than to cry......
This is the view from the roof onto part of the garden.
All of us sitting by the water feature thingy in part of the garden. Craig is taking the piccy, Natalie was at respite that day......we cant go looking at castles as they were not built back then wheelchair friendly.
Craig saw these outside so had to try them for size lol.........the dafty tho hit his head first with the antler & actually cut his head, it bled a canny bit!!
Yes I got the camera bag while Craig got the camera lol...........psst come here.............no come closer I have a secret to share........are you ready???
DO NOT go to this castle in high heeled knee high boots.....its not built with them in mind my blooming feet were killing at this point & we hadnt walked all round the gardens yet lol. Still managed to smile tho lol.
My boys & Megan at the back of the castle.........hard believe Jake is only 15, he is the tallest of all of us. Think he was maybe put on the stretching rack when he was younger lol.
My baby on the cannon....not sure if he's sitting on it or waiting to be fired from it lol.
Well if you are still after ALLLLLL these piccies then get yourself a cuppa & some choccy bickies cus you deserve them lol. We had a good day & we had a laugh altho it should come with health warning lol.
List of warnings........
Watch out for the horses.......or watch your head lol.
Watch out for putting on antlers.
Watch out for low door ways when coming from dungeon......I forgot & hit my head......AGAIN.
Watch out for low hedges outside.....yes I fell in one........pmsl........we certainly had a laugh or 2 lol.
We had a McDonalds on the way home tho cus we were starving by the time we got around this place..........its MAHOOSIVE!!!
Thanks for popping by & soz for the long post lol.
Squishy hugs xoxoxoxo
