It’s our final day in our wooden cabin, and the hottest day so far (30 degrees). As we visited all castles and manors in a 1 hour drive distance from our cabin, we decide to take a day off from our castle run. We do the laundrey and enjoy all the park has to offer – we put a baby bath on our balcony, explore the playground, the lake, we’re feeding seeds to the ducks and apples to the horse.
At eleven, we get our swimming gear and go on a short trip to buy lunch and go back to the Shropshire hills. The parking is already full, again with school busses, and the poor kids have to messure things again in todays heath. Luckily we can still park our car. We take the lunch and swimming gear with us into the mountains. We follow a small stream uphill for 15 minutes before we make it to a refreshing lake. Some school kids seem to have escaped the measuring tasks and enjoy the cold water. Tim and Cleo join them and swim to the opposite side. Zeno wants to have his hummus bread first.
When Tim and Cleo are done, Zeno and Olga give the water a try. Zeno does not want to swim, but enjoys throwing stones into the water, luckily without putting other swimmers into danger.
As the sun is burning and there’s no real shade, we pack our stuff again to go back home. We spend the rest of the day playing around our cabin as it’s a really nice place to be.
