Stoke Bruerne was lovely.
It always seems to be push, push, push on trips.
A bit hurry up and wait.
This one went pretty smoothly. Not saying there aren't things I would change though. I wasn't going to moan, but really... don't fill the coach up from the front! That way no-one has to run the gaunlet of occupied seats AND you can let the known travel-sickers sit at the front because they are the seats that remain, rather than having to shout at every child getting on "No, not those seats!"

Anyway.

Was a sunshine and clouds day when we left Bierton, and continued to be apparently.
But in Northamptonshire it wasn't cold, but it was overcast.
It's grim up North.

We were split into three groups which did the three different activities in a different order. Each group was further split amongst teachers, TAs and parent volunteers.

My group went to the Museum first.
Only four out of seven wanted to try on the hats.
One chap in a cap and one with a scarf, simulating the mufflers that men on the boats wore. And our resident dresser-upper (usually in Disney Princess gowns) in both.
