August 6th 2015 - Seascale

August 6th 2015 - Seascale

A few days ago a friend posted some pictures on facebook of her children at a park, it looked really good so I asked her where it was.  She told me and I looked it up, I had heard of the area but wasn't sure where it was.  Well google said it was half hrs drive from us up the coast.

We loaded into the car and set off up the road to Seascale.  Upon arriving hubby took the money for parking and came back with it - the car park was free thanks to the "local residents".  So the afternoon started well.

We went down onto the beach and the sea was quite away out.  I told the boys they could go in it as long as they rolled up their trousers above the knee and didn't get wet as we had no spare clothes with us.  Here are the 3 of them in the sea:


They also spent ages on the mini pier:
 

 and were fascinated that some of the gaps in the pier were filled with rocks:



The tide came in really quickly and we had to leave the beach so they went to play in the park:


A nice afternoon was had by all.

July 8th 2015 - St John Ambulance

July 8th 2015 - St John Ambulance

Today is a mixed day at St John Ambulance.  The cadets are doing their sponsored silence as part of their fundraising badge, and also to raise funds to buy the glow in the dark items we need for christmas party.  Fingers crossed they all do it, especially my son who has raised £101!


The badgers are *hopefully* going to the park as part of their wild badge, this is weather dependent.   As at the moment it is looking very grey and dark and has rained on/off most of day.  I did ask them to bring wellies and coats just incase, and as long as not raining hard we will still go, if it is hard they will be watching a dvd.
