It is ten years since my previous visit to the National Memorial Arboretum. The Memorial Arboretum is still as peaceful and moving as I remembered. There are now over 400 memorials so it is impossible to see them all during one visit.

Summer of Play
After my stint of volunteering in the visitor reception area in Attingham Park I was able to explore some of the newly installed features, ready and waiting for the school holidays.
I resisted walking the labyrinth until Mr C can join me. He always enjoys exploring a labyrinth of maze.

More coming soon…

A Post Shift Walk at Attingham Park
It was lovely that Mr C had the opportunity to join me on my post shift walk. He chose to walk one of my favourite walks in the opposite direction…
I like to walk clockwise on a circular route rather than anti clockwise. I wonder what that says about me?
