After being stuck in the house for what seemed like forever because of the rain, on Wednesday night I made the decision that regardless of weather we were going out on Thursday and not to the supermarket either!
I looked online for local events and found that Tamworth Castle were running an Enchanted Castle event, no need to book, reasonable price, Madam would love it.. not sure about Sir though. Tamworth Castle has very nice grounds and a large playground so I thought I’d take them there first, then for a drink at the park cafe then on to the castle dependent on Sir’s mood.
Thankfully the weather was lovely and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the playground. It was great to see them playing together on the see saw and swings. The park was busy but not crowded which was great.
After having a drink we went on the long, up hill walk to the castle and joined the end of a queue. They were a little late opening and Sir was getting fidgety but once we were in and paid he was fine. I let him lead where we went mostly, as it was a “wander round by yourselves” event rather than a guided tour which suited us better. We went in the armoury and both kids had a go at pulling a sword from a *stone*
Up a couple of flights of stairs and we encountered the first of the fairies. They were polishing armour for the giant and making chain mail. Madam was happy to have go, Sir wasn’t so sure. The fairies and I tried to encourage him and in the end he did come in the room, sat down and started polishing armour
