Tuesday, left Jax behind this time, and took three children out for the day.
Collected Lily from Halifax and set off for St Leonard’s Farm (former setting for Emmerdale apparently).
Fair collection of animals, for petting, poking and feeding, derelict ride on toys, a playground and an aerial runway. An overpriced cafe serving second rate food. All in all not a patch on the last of its kind I remember visiting (Easton Farm Park), but the children liked it a lot.
At lunch time we headed into Bradford, and went to the National Media Museum, which is well worth a visit, lots to see and do (including a blue screen).
To wrap up the day we finished up with a visit to Shibden Park. Unfortunately, the adventure playground is undergoing extensive rebuilding (looks like it will be pretty fabulous when it is finished), so we had a rethink and headed for the rowing boats. Had the usual waily fit from Big when confronted with actually stepping into the rowing boat she had been so keen to go in. But once in, she took over the oars from me and really enjoyed herself rowing up and down the lake.
Finished off with ice cream, I do so like wearable food.
