Our time lately has been spent exploring. Harlan is currently fascinated by castles, knights, and buried treasure. We've also been making the most of the improved weather to spend time outdoors. One trip to feed the ducks resulted in a bleeding head as Harlan tripped and fell onto a railing, but he has healed well and we've had more successful duck feeding trips since!

We've planted our potatoes that we got from here and have also put some seeds down for salad leaves and herbs. Next week I am planning to create a time capsule with Harlan, to bury in our garden. I want to include a note about our family and when we lived here, a photo and a few little bits and pieces that Harlan feels are important to him. We will then make a basic map of our garden, indicating where we buried it.

Here is Harlan at Raglan Castle, near  Abergavenny. My mum made him a sword from cardboard and tin foil, and he played at defending his castle from invading knights!

Digging for buried treasure at Brampton Park. Later we went into the museum, Harlan particularly enjoyed the room full of antique toys.

Apedale Heritage Centre. We went here with a group of friends and found frogs in the pond. Hoping to go pond dipping here again during the Summer.
