Having fun at Anglesey


One thing that we count as precious is the opportunity for our children to run! So public parks and open spaces are big favorites for us in crowded Cambridge.

We have come to love the National Trust properties all around this area for many reasons; one is that our children can explore and ramble to their hearts' content. We went with our friends Hunter and Laura to Anglesey Abbey today. This large National Trust home is on 36 acres of beautiful gardens and lawns, some very manicured, some very natural. It is stunning!

Do you notice these happy children?




As you can see with this picture of Julia, there are many statues lining the grounds here. We did happen upon a couple of odd ones however...

Here is one of a rather strange looking family~



And another of a mother in peace and prayer. . . . .



And amazingly, we came upon a statue of the same mother in full action! "Children, listen to me!"


All in all, a lovely afternoon...



Have fun with your family!
