Holiday at coop house

We're just back from our first holiday this year, and we had such a lovely time.  We stayed for 5 days at the Coop House which is another Landmark Trust place.  It's the first one we've stayed at with Risky, and although that changed the environment and robbed it of some of its peaceful charm, we still had a great time.

Here is our first glimpse of what came to be known by all of us as our 'holiday castle'.


"Lots of sheep!", "Ball".


Our living quarters from the gallery: pretty much the state it stayed in all week, with a cup of tea on the table and toys across the floor.


Some local wildlife from the river that flowed past our living room window - I'm proud to have identified these as Oystercatchers.


and this as a sheep, or as Marisca now knows, a lamb.


Coop House from across the river.  Elspeth and Marisca included for scale.


Marisca waiting at the window for Daddy to come back from his trip across the river.


I asked Elspeth to take a few photos of me and Marisca while we were away, since I'm normally behind the camera pointing it at one of both of them.  I really like this one.  "Catchme Daddy, catchme!"
