On Sunday, as it was such a glorious day, we packed ourselves off again and went to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park at Bretton Hall. http://www.ysp.co.uk/view.aspx?id=3 I think it is one of my favourite places to go - up there with Newby Hall and Edinburgh Botanical Gardens.
Ben sitting on a very expensive (I would have thought!) Henry Moore sculpture.
Ben really got a lot out of it this time - he was looking at the sculptures, talking about them, asking questions and generally having a great time. In the past when we've been, its really just been a big open space for him to run around in.
There were a series of sculptures of 'lady hares' which I found most bizarre. They reminded me of the dream sequences in Watership Down - 30 years on and I'm still traumatised by that film!
We had great fun in this field - I don't know if you can tell, but they're giant cylinders of asphalt with a metal tube through the middle - there were about six of them scattered through the field and we had a great time running round them, shouting through the tube and shoving bits of stick through the tube. Probably not what the artist intended, but never mind!
I love this picture - this is Ben looking through one of the tubes through the middle of the cylinders :-)
All in all we had a great day.
And in case you were wondering, Zoe decided to go to sleep in the end, but it was a close run thing!
