Going out is great fun even without the children. There is so much to see and do in the area and little gems to be found if you search for them.
Below is a picture of Donington le Heath Manor which is near Coalville in in North West Leicestershire. It is a lovely old medieval manor house set in authentic layed out medieval gardens. It free to go there and that includes the parking. During the summer they have loads of events again all free. It is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the summer sun.
On the same weekend there was a old car rally at Northfields farm in Rutland. I found out about from the local paper and although it was small compared to others I have been to it was very friendly and the money taken on the gate went to a good cause.
I never been to the farm before but I had eaten some of the pork from there and it is wonderful. I was lovely to find a tea room as well as a shop, but better still there were some one week old piglets. A great find that is sure to delight the girls.
This is a couple of the places I have visited this month. Hopefully if I have time over the summer I will post the places I go and see over the holidays.
