Rufford Old Hall

 Another weekend another family trip out using our National Trust membership. This weekend we didn't travel too far ( only about 25mins from our home ) to Rufford Old Hall. It was a great day out, the Victorian and Edwardian gardens are really nice to walk around, and looked great in the gorgeous weather we had. The Hall itself was smaller then I was expecting but really nice inside. The boy's liked walking around all the rooms because they were looking for an different animal in each one ( a paper they were given as we entered the Hall ).

   It brought back happy memory's of when my parents use to take me and my brothers around all Tudor, Victorian and Edwardian Homes, and got to look around ( but not to cross the red roped off area's ) just to see some of our history.
  I think the boy's enjoyed the gardens more because they got to play with some of the items that were out ( Chess, Swing Ball, Dominos and Connect 4, to name a few ). We will definitely go again, but next time take a picnic to enjoy the garden's even more.

Was a little hard going for me as I haven't done much running in the last few year, but with my eldest son on my shoulder all the way talking about the latest game he is playing it wasn't long before we were on the way to the finish line. :)  Ryan, mum and dog came in not long after at very reasonable times and I am proud of them all for doing it. Eldest Son: 30mins. Me: 34mins. Ryan: 47mins. Mum and Kylo: 50mins. So far we have raised almost £400 with still a few cash donations still to come in. The link is st...
