It was lovely and Spring like today so we headed out this afternoon to a local garden centre to see the rare Leicester Longwool breed of sheep and their lovely lambs. B took this lovely photo. Had to have a browse round the (rather unstocked) pets area and also see the fish (which B is desperate for). Took a look at the apple trees too as we'd like to have at least one in our new garden - still miss the five or six we had in a previous home.

After this we headed off to the lock - always wonderful to see the fast moving water. We were lucky enough to watch some enthusiasts racing their mini boats on the lake and see the steam train come past too. K and B had fun under the road bridge, climbing and running down the very steep support wall.



On the way home we picked up some cream as K and B decided they'd bake some scones. We've never made scones before and they turned out really well - they're so easy! Delicious but very filling.
