Only months to go before before the move so it's time to concentrate on some outings we want to make with the kids before we go.

The kids wanted to see a few more castles so we took them to Colchester Castle and Hampton Court Palace over the last few weekends.

Colchester Castle has always been one of their favourites and they are now getting old enough to appreciate it better. They particularly enjoyed trying on the chain mail and getting into the costumes of the time.







Hampton Court Palace is a particular favourite of mine, so we visited on the August bank holiday weekend. We were blessed with fine weather that weekend, so we were able to spend a bit of time in the beautiful gardens and let the kids explore the maze.

Our princesses felt right at home here!
