Which, or course, I immediately shared on Facebook, tagging family members who wouldn’t be offended.
My Mother really liked it, so I edited it with some of my own pics… it’s not difficult to find my family being odd.
She wants it printed on canvas now!
Means we stay outside, busy day!
We decided to check out an English Heritage event and explore a new castle.
The history bit: it’s 1464 and the Yorkists are defeating the Lancastrian army, who William Burgh (guy who holds castle) is loyal to. The rest, I suppose, is History… (really sorry, I couldn’t resist!)
I have to say, I was impressed and so were the kids. The siege was broken into 3 parts, but there was plenty of things going on in between.
Highlights included:
The woman of Northumberland defended the castle with frying pans and hammers
Archers:
The castle was stormed…
Guns
And the boss dude made a plan
There were guns and cannons, swords, archers and grenades. Explosions, shouting and fighting.
And there was music (which my kids actually sat and listened to!!)
Like that I should only be collecting 1 kid, so I leave too early and go to the wrong place.
Now I’m sitting in an empty play yard with a sleeping baby attached to me.
