Summer was definitely in the air this morning and, as it always does with me, it instantly lifted my spirits and I just knew an outing for Nick and I was in order. Kerry recommended Washbrook Farm to us which is in the village of Hurstpierpoint, approximately 20 mins or so from home and as we had never been there before I was keen to go and explore.

What a lovely lovely morning.....Washbrook farm is home to a large number of farm animals including a big barn housing all the new arrivals - although a bit hesitant at first, Nick soon got into the swing of things and was running around making animal noises and pointing to all his favourites.

He could only just see over the edges on the enclosures

As well as the "farmyard" they also have the most AMAZING playground I have ever seen and we literally spent 2.5 hours playing in the sand, climbing on all the different jungle gyms and enjoying a tractor ride.....one exhausted little boy was finally carried to the car, but we will returning before long I am sure.

What kid wouldn't LOVE a sandpit like this one

Would love to know what he is thinking.....although maybe not, probably evil thoughts about his mother and the damn camera lol

Nick played in this little house for ages, it was up a little hill and he kept running down, collecting sticks and taking them back to stash away....so sweet to watch

Lunch time like a big boy, no more baby cups for me :0)
