Had a lovely day yesterday at Shipmeet at the National Media Museum in Bradford. Well, I say Shipmeet, but as it was only us and Tom and Anne and the boys it was more like a typical day trip out for us!

The museum is a brilliant place to take kids, and I have to admit that I loved seeing some of the characters from my childhood TV shows, such as Playschool and the Wombles. It was quite embarrassing when I realised that Paul didn't remember half the things I do because he is 5 years younger than me. I also practiced reading the news from an autocue and the boys enjoyed pretending they were flying on the blue screen.

It was such a gorgeous day that we decided to go for a walk in the afternoon so we walked to our local farm shop which has an animal walk. I was very much hoping that there would be lots of baby lambs but they had closed off part of the walk due to the bad weather a few weeks ago. Mind you, we did see cute baby baa-lambs a bit further down the road.

A brilliant day, topped off with the entertainment of watching Andrew fall asleep in his tea and nearly fall off the chair.
