15. Play in the Snow

We have only had one day of snow this winter on but, luckily, it was on a day when nobody had to work so we went out to play on Tor Hill.  Isolde loved it and stayed out with Daddy after Harry wanted to go home! The National Trust 50 things

1. Climb a Tree

Isolde loves to climb trees!  She has hugged and climbed trees in many different places including Quarry Bank Mill (pictured) and Uncle Trevor’s garden in Cardiff.  I am sure as her legs get longer, she will continue to get more adventurous! The National Trust 50 things

31. Hunt for Bugs

Isolde loved spying through her magnifying glass while walking around the gardens at Quarry Bank Mill.  It was a happy coincidence her magnifying glass was the same colour as her hair! The National Trust 50 things

23. Visit a farm

Isolde has actually visited two farms in her life.  The first was on holiday in Northumberland when, to be honest, she didn’t have a particularly interactive role but mainly slept while seeing the animals in Harry’s big fleece as it was a bit chilly.  The second time was at Tatton Park during the short warm […]

As a family, we are members of The National Trust.  I saw this advertised in the toilets at Formby on a family day out and thought it sounded like a really good idea so we are starting from now to tick off as many fun things as we can! The National Trust 50 things
