Yesterday morning the kids were worn out from our London trip, actually, we were all pretty tired. The girls were arguing with each other, daddy and I were losing our patience with them....it was time to go out and do something before chaos ensued. So we decided on a visit to Tatton Park. I had briefly mentioned this park in a previous post, it is an estate house, garden and farm in Knutsford. We walked through the estate house, being rushed along by an impatient 5 and 2 year old who spotted a merry-go-round before we walked in. I am always surprised by how large these estates are. This one even had a wine cellar, two beer cellars and three kitchens. They also had people dressed up pretending to have lived there - someone baking scones, a few people playing cards. We walked through the flower gardens, the fern house and the Japanese garden. We all loved the beautiful Japanese garden...we felt more at peace just walking through it. Tatton Park also had a lot of family activities. They had a very large play ground, carnival rides, ice cream and the above mentioned merry-go-round. Tatton Park is a really scenic and relaxing place and it was exactly what we needed after the fast pace of London...just a low key day and some fun activities for the kids. It did make us sad to see two Scottie dogs at Tatton yesterday though. We miss our stubborn little Scottie dog.
