Where can we go?

How often have you heard that? How often have you asked that of a weekend day when you're not sure what you want to do; when you want to please but no one seems to know what they want.

Well, here is a site that may solve that challenge.

It did for us today. We came up with this.

The venue was about five minutes away from our home; boat rides on the canal - we went on two, vintage cars, face painting, the water mill - a weird Willy Wonka steam driven oddity, a survivalist giving lessons on how to make fire - all sorts - and it was all free too. Granddaughter seemed to find the Blacksmith the most interesting thing; he taught us about tempered iron. He made some pincers; even piercing a hole with a hot punch thingy. He was enthusiastic but not that good; kept dropping stuff.

There is so much to see around us and so much of it is so near too.
