Yesterday we had my eldest son, Steve, his wife, Yu Lee and her mum, Ai Seng to visit for the day. We had planned a trip to Bekonscott model village as Yu Lee had wanted to visit it for ages and had obtained some bargain tickets. Her mum wanted to come too and see our chickens.
We had such a lovely day and the icing on the cake was that it was sunny too. Steve and Yu Lee live in Cambridge and Ai Seng in London so they stayed with her the night before and travelled from London.
We had a few things for Steve to help me with on my computer and took Ai Seng to visit the flock then decided to have some lunch before setting off to the model village.
I had taken my boys to Bekonscott when they were children but hadn’t been back for many years. We were all really impressed with the place, there was lots to see and it was really well maintained.
I took a photo from the viewing bridge.

We were so lucky to have such a sunny day and when we returned home we sat in the garden and chatted and laughed a lot. Later we went to our local pub and again sat in the garden to catch the last of the sun. We were going to eat there but found they don’t do food on a Sunday evening so we came back and put together some food at our’s.
It was just a perfect day and we all agreed we must have a day out together again soon as it was such fun.

I just love Bekonscot.
When the children and grandchildren were small we would go but take the car to Wycombe and then take the train to Bekonsfield and it would be their first train journey as it was only a short distance and long enough for small children .
I know Richard was interested in the train layout there .
Richard found it really interesting because it’s like a giant version of his layout. He said that the trains going round and the various moving parts on the layout were what really added interest.
Steve and Yu Lee said that it was better than they had expected it to be. Having the one really warm and sunny day of the week added to it too. We felt really lucky with the weather. It was a really fun day.
