Attingham Park was the ultimate family day out, and it seemed like the weather had decided to show off, bathing us in glorious sunshine. We were practically glowing by the end of the day—not from exertion, but from all the vitamin D we’d soaked up. I’m pretty sure we’ll be mistaken for sunflowers if this weather keeps up!
Armed with ice creams that seemed to vanish faster than Houdini, we dove headfirst into all the joys the park had to offer. Let me tell you, the 4x4 mobility scooter was an absolute game-changer. Forget hiking boots; this was mobility with style. I felt like the queen of the countryside. My crown for the day - free cardboard bunny ears, which I proudly wore. Nothing says “ruler of the countryside” quite like a pair of floppy, slightly squashed ears crafted from cardboard, which dont fit properly and kept falling in front of my glasses. If anything, it added to the hilarity of my regal mobility scooter parade as I zipped through the stunning grounds—no horn needed, just pure bunny-ear authority!
Meanwhile, the grandkids were having the time of their lives thanks to the circus-themed Easter extravaganza. With all the juggling, balancing, and other skills on display, it became glaringly obvious that Cirque du Soleil won’t be calling anytime soon. But oh, the determination! The giggles! The sheer glee! Their enthusiasm was unstoppable, and watching them master the challenges was such a treat. The final reward, an Easter egg, felt like the perfect cherry—or should I say chocolate?—on top of their efforts.
Taco also had a fantastic time. The off-lead area gave him plenty of space to dash around, his energy as uncontainable as ever. Watching him race across the fields and explore the woodlands was such a joy; you could almost feel the happiness radiating from him, especially after having his very own doggie ice cream
Attingham Park proved itself to be the perfect blend of fun, nature, and just a touch of silliness. As we left, I couldn’t help thinking this was one of those days that’ll linger in your heart, chocolate smudges and all.
Who knew sunshine, circus antics, and a very energetic dog could combine into such a winning formula? Attingham Park, I tip my imaginary crown to you.
It's fantastic that your mobility scooter gets you out and about to enjoy lovely spaces. I've got a souped up "walker" built for "off road" terrain which is great, except my grandchildren call it "Grandma's Tractor" and insist on jumping up on it for a free ride which makes my arms ache. Never mind, they're happy and that's all that matters.Thanks for sharing.
