Berkeley Castle and butterflies

We decided to enjoy the bank holiday and visit Berkeley Castle as it was the village where my wife was born and she had not been there since childhood.

It was a very busy day with the overflow car park being in full use.

The bonus was a quick visit to the butterfly house small, hot and very humid to cater for the butterflies and moths from hotter climates.

We then had a walk through the house before heading to the rear garden where there were some re-enactors showing medieval clothing, armour and practices.

All in all a great visit with some good photo opportunities.

 

Chedworth Show

We attended the Chedworth Show recently as my wife had a stall there.

It is a small village in the Cotswolds but the show is always well attended, a day of mixed weather with some intermittent rain but not enough to deter those attending.

There was something for all the family to include live music, hot food, games for the children and even a traditional "Punch & Judy show".
