On the Thursday D and I went to Marden. I was surprised at how close it was - only 31 minutes by car. I have wanted to go for ages as there is a church there with a mermaid legend and a holy well. But first I had promised to take David to the Pumpkin Patch on a farm to select a pumpkin for Hallowe'en.
Not too many words as the photos are self explanatory!
This moving gargoyle was absolutely terrifying!
We walked to the pumpkin field to select a pumpkin. It would be a good day out if you had young children as there were lots of activities for them.
There was a maze there but to be honest as I really wanted to visit the church as well I didn't want to get lost in a maze for hours!
This is the pumpkin D carved that evening.
There was food at the farm but, as there were queues and also thinking it might be expensive, we had lunch instead at Farmer Jacks - a farm shop and cafe in the village.
I had bread pudding and D bought a cheese sandwich.
I'll write about the church visit in the next post.
All photos taken by me with the Panasonic Lumix FZ330 bridge camera and D with the Canon SX50HS bridge camera. (I don't particularly rate my photos but if anyone wishes to use one of mine or my son's I would be grateful for an email first - thanks).
