Worcestershire

For February half term, we went to Worcestershire, England (yes, like the sauce). It was a lovely little getaway in a nice little cottage by a river. We spent three relaxing days there.



On the back of the cottage was a very large deck that went right up to the river. You could jump in or catch some really nice fish if we would have had any equipment.... 

This is a view of part of the cottage from the deck.

While in Worcestershire, we went to a place called Bliss Hill which is a working Victorian village with dress maker shops, a bank, a bakery, a chemist and many other shops to browse. You had to change your money into Victorian money to buy anything. Pretty fun! Abby had visited this village on her Year 6 trip last year and when I heard about it, I thought it would make for a nice day out, so that is the reason I chose Worcestershire as our destination.   

This picture and the one above and below is the dress maker's.

This is the Victorian school house. Unfortunately, we missed the lessons they had that day. We did get to go on a coal train into a coal mine.

Charles was unable to go with us to the Victorian village because Alex got the tummy bug while we were there and was vomiting every few minutes. Fortunately, she got it after we arrived so she was not throwing up in the car and she was over it before we left for home. It was a good holiday to be sick because we didn't have much planned, just some chill time. It would have been much worse for her to be ill at Disneyland Paris last year. So you see, it wasn't so bad...

Hooray for little getaways!
