Ham Farm Coaley

We travelled to Gloucester on Sunday.  It has been a bittersweet journey since we are minus one dear family member, Uncle Mike, who passed away on the 31st January.  Sadly we were unable to make the funeral but we were present for the interment of his ashes on Monday morning.  As usual Uncle Andy came and stopped for a quick overnight visit and it was good to spend 36 hours with him.  

Our accommodation is situated on a working farm and the log cabin is fully accessible.  It is currently lambing time and the young farmer and his brother are working round the clock shifts making sure the ewes are OK.  They are expecting 250 lambs and so far 50 have been delivered.  Pip even saw one of the Ewes deliver twins!  Our accommodation is opposite the multiple births maternity wing :-)

Gloucester city centre was incredibly busy so we were unable to visit the  Regiment museum as per previous visits.   However we did  manage to visit Hubble Bubble which was appreciated by all :-)  Uncle Andy then took the kids in search of an outdoor shop whilst Dave and I popped in to Gloucester Cathedral (and we thought about the sad state of Notre Dame) and I visited nearby wool shop to buy some sock yarn to commemorate the visit.

Here are some pictures of the visit thus far:
