Lucy and Grandad take the Fort

There is a big fort at Belton House. It is really for older children so Grandad escorts Lucy around to make sure she is safe.

It's exciting.

After a while Lucy takes the lead. "Come on Gwandad!"

Grandma tells a story

Another trip on the train. Grandma and Lucy wave to their adoring public.

Grandma asks Lucy if she would like to hear a short anecdote.

"No Grandma! No!"

"...blah blah blah...fish and chips in Robin's Hood bay ... blah blah blah... oooh and it was lovely...blah blah blah...bus pass...blah blah blah..."

When will it end!

P.S. only joking

Climbing Frame

Lucy is on the climbing frame. Grandad makes sure everything is safe.

Wow! That is pretty high!

Daddy stands next to Grandad in order to look slimmer. Grandad, on the other hand loves to stand next to Daddy in order to show off his luxuriant mane and lack of a receding hairline. One all.

Swing!

Grandad is giving Lucy a push on the swing.

Lucy is quite amused.

Mummy gets in on the act.

What a push from Mummy! Luckily Grandad is there to stop Lucy just before she achieves escape velocity.

See Saw with Grandad

Hang on - surely Mr Newton would have some quibbles with this image. Lucy is certainly quite chunky for a two and a half but has she really reached equilibrium with Grandad?

Phew! Natural order is restored.

Bridge with Grandad

There is a bridge over the miniature railway.

Grandad takes Lucy onto the bridge so she can see the train go by.

It's very exciting!

Train with Grandma

Part of the reason that Grandma and Grandad chose Belton House to meet up was because it had loads of fun stuff for Lucy to do. This included a miniature railway.

Grandma is going to have a trip with Lucy and Mummy.

Lucy spots that Grandma is there

As soon as Grandma turns her back Lucy sticks her tongue out. Cheeky monkey.

Everyone is having a lovely ride.

Grandma and Grandad

Grandma and Grandad conme and join us for some top food at Belton House.
