So I've got my mask at the ready. I've got the sick bags. I'm definitely getting some
inspo from the house that we're staying in. Wow.
Guys, I'm going to cannonball. Three, two, one.
And I also wanted to show you our neighbors. He's swimming. Wee.
He ate my pinky.
Lincoln Cathedral. This is exactly what we need, just a few nights
away. Hi guys, and welcome back to my channel. Today,
we're off on a little staycation. We are road tripping to Lincoln for three days, because
the kids have officially finished school for the year. So we thought we would book something
as soon as they finished school, because we are still hoping to be moving house next month.
So we thought it'd probably better to go away sooner rather than later, and we went for
a staycation. We're staying in a barn, and so it's all self catering. We'll have our
own little kitchen. It also has a little swimming pool that I know the kids are going to love.
So I thought that I would take you with us, so let's go.
Where we're going, it's about three hours from our house. So I've got the sick bags
and Fraser is wearing his little travel sickness bands as well. So we're just about to stop
at the services, so I've got my mask at the ready.
So we've made it! This is our home for the weekend. It looks so lovely, so I'll give
you a little tour before the kids trash the place. So we're staying in a place called
Ashlin Farm Barns in Lincoln. I'll tag them in the description. The boys are already in
the hot tub in the garden, so I'll quickly just show you the rooms.
So you walk in here and this is the entrance hall, which is very nice. There is a little
WC, and then there is bedrooms downstairs, I think. This one... Nice double room. This
is the kitchen over here, and then there's also a big open plan living space. Here's
the dining area and then a little lounge over here, and there's also a log burner and they
give you the log, so I'm sure we'll be putting that on.
And upstairs that are four bedrooms all with on suites and they've done them so nicely.
And my favorite thing, look at those vacuum lines in the carpet, and there's some really
cool little features. There's an on suite in there as well. Another bedroom in here
with a view to the garden. There's such lovely views of the countryside as well. So this
is exactly what we need, just a few nights away, and I shared on Instagram that we're
in Lincoln, and so many of my followers are like, "You have to go here, you have to go
there." So we're going to have a few days out as well.
Aww. We've got our take-away tonight.
The sun was not shining in the street after all. It was raining and a big dog came down
the street. Mug ran. The dog ran too. Mug ran right around the house.
You swim across. [inaudible 00:05:11]. Hmm, go!
It's Saturday now, and it's a little bit overcast, so we thought we would come out into Lincoln
and explore. Loads of my followers said to go to Lincoln Cathedral. So that is what we've
done and see the cathedral, which looks incredible and also the castle as well. So we'll show
you around so far. It's a really, really cute little town. This cathedral is incredible.
Needs a bit of a jet wash.
All right, so we're back from Lincoln, and we had such a nice time. We went on a horse
and carriage ride. We saw the cathedral and the castle as well, and just wandered around
and it was really cold, but now we're home. The boys are having hot dogs, even though
it is well past lunch time, but we didn't really have lunch while we were out. And I
think we're just going to hang out, probably go back into the hot tub as well.
It's not a hot dog, it's a sausage.
It's a sausage? Not a hot dog?
Yeah.
And the trolls are over here, where are there?
And they're trapped in the cage.
They're trapped in the cage.
Unfortunately, it's raining. But...
[inaudible 00:08:03] a black flop.
[inaudible 00:08:11].
Nice and relaxing [inaudible 00:08:16]. You're swimming. Wee.
Caleb, I'm going to go backwards.
Cannonball.
Should I put the jets on?
No, I don't like it.
Back flop!
I don't like them. [crosstalk 00:08:34].
Standing underneath the lights, look into each other's eyes. Tired snowflakes are coming
down, collapse into water when they hit the ground. I hear the sound of empty streets,
and yesterday has gone to sleep. So all that's left is you and me. I can promise you're the
only thing-
Good morning guys. So it's Sunday now, [crosstalk 00:09:26] and it's 8:00 A.M, and they're already
in the hot tub. But they had their breakfast super early, so it has gone down and now they're
in there and Jackson was just saying, "I'm a Merman." Weren't you? [crosstalk 00:09:40]
You're getting good at swimming, Jax.
Quiet voices in the night, and time is running out of sight. The lonely wind is passing by,
tries to carry all the whispers that it finds. The walls are listening when we talk, and
making echos as we walk. There's no one left but you and me. It's like we made a place
that only we can see.
This morning, we've pretty much been hanging out at the barn, [crosstalk 00:10:36] just
the boys have been in and out of hot tub, they've been playing on the little bouncy
castle, and it's a beautiful day. So we've been quite happy there, but now it's after
lunch and we thought it'd be quite nice to go out for a little walk and blow off some
steam. So apparently there's a little nature trail, or woodland trail, or something at
the end of the lane. So we're just taking a walk down there now.
Wow. Wow.
Guys, I'm going to cannonball. Three, two, one.
So we've pretty much been in the hot tub all afternoon and we've just got the kids out.
We straight away put them into the bath and now they're in their jammies, even though
it's only about five o'clock, but I think we're now just going to chill out and make
some dinner. So today has just been really chilled out.
We had a homemade curry and we're literally just going to sit down and watch Dragon's
Den and Netflix and chill. But before we do that, I wanted to come out and watch the sunset.
Matt might put the drone up to show you guys because it's really beautiful here. And I
also wanted to show you our neighbors that I keep looking at, hold on. They're cows.
Don't worry, they're not people that I'm staring at, but let me show you. Hi guys.
I also wanted to show you this little barbecue area over here. I love what they've done with
the sleepers here. It's pretty similar to what Mrs. Hinch has just done in her garden.
So you have the little gardening area and then a little bench there, so you can sit
and chat to whoever's barbecuing. I just think it's really nice. I'm definitely getting some
inspo from the house that we're staying in for when we move.
The boys have loved this as well. Matt was like, "Maybe we could get this." But it is
quite big, I just don't know... But they have been in it nonstop. So yeah, it's very, very
peaceful here. Very quiet. We've actually loved seeing and being tourists in Lincoln.
Yeah, so although I don't feel like I've vlogged very much today, I think I will sign off here.
I hope you guys have really enjoyed coming on our little staycation with us and seeing
a bit of what we've got up to. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you guys are
all doing well and staying safe and I'll see you in my next one. Bye guys.
