🐄Lazy Friday Mornings🐄

Whilst we were taking these pictures around 15 minutes ago, the speeds that we saw cars travelling past the cattle, who were originally up on their feet, were astonishing.

We cannot say it enough… PLEASE SLOW DOWN.

If you aren’t too worried about killing a cow, then slow down for your own safety and because you don’t want to have the issue of buying a new car 🚗 ... See MoreSee Less

If you’re stuck with what to do with your Easter Monday, head to Freemans Marsh.

Yesterday, whilst out taking a walk, we saw canal boats go through the lock and open the swing bridge. There were 6 geese circling the marsh finding the best place to land. There were so many different birds using the river, including this duck!

Head down there and see what you can find!
