This morning the boys ventured out to meet friends at Oliver’s Castle. It was here that the Royalists trashed the Parliamentarians back in 1643 but today we decided against any battle reenactments, settling for flying kites instead.

The weather men predicted at least a 6mph wind which would have been perfect but sadly it was not to be. My kites were too heavy for the little wind that decided to show but the Godfather brought along a cute little butterfly which Charlie had a bash at flying with great success.

We also fired up the Geocaching App and starting hunting for hidden treasure but sadly the box had gone missing, probably pinched by those no good Royalists! Still, a fun and muddy time was had by all.
