Saturday and I wake in a strange bed in Cinderford where I am visiting my youngest daughter and her son. There are croissants for breakfast to go with my morning meds and a young child who wants to join. As a unit we are pretty organised which means by just past 10 o’clock we are on the road with two cars and on our way to Over Farm for their Spooky farm and pumpkin experience. We get in with our two bags of animal feed and some trail completion cards and set off. Immediately someone offers to take our photo for us, and obviously we cannot refuse.

There is lots to do and animals to feed as well as a tractor ride to go looking for the farmers lost pumpkins. When we were tired of donkeys, sheep, pigs, llamas, ostriches, chickens, goats, horses and pumpkins we had warm drinks and watched the show put on to entertain the children. All in all a really good time. Having exhausted the pumpkin spookery we visited the farm shop and bought pasties and other local goodies to eat back home. A thunderingly good time for everyone.

We return home and eat some of our farm goodies and then sped time playing with the young grandsons toys, until I break ranks to watch the rugby international, which England lose. There is time to take in the Amazon delivery of the new power socket I am going to put in tomorrow and to drat the blog before the youngest grandson goes off to bed and he rest of us eat and settle down to Strictly for the evening. We are all tired so for me its an early night and early night meds. Its been a day out which for me has been very good, it another step to getting back engaged with things.
