Well on Bank Holiday Monday, Becky, Brett, Kelly, Tyler, Harvey & myself, spent a great time at West Lodge Farm Park, about 5 or 6 miles from Kettering. I was the only one that had never visited here before, but the car park was heaving as this place is very popular. I imagine that there are quite a few of theses farms around the country, that have diversified from being "just a farm", for all sorts of different reasons. This is their website. http://www.westlodgeruralcentre.co.uk/ The weather wasn't the best so we took brollies just in case, which proved to be the right idea later on.
The entrance to the park.

At a certain time of the day, there is a Piglet race, with the names of Pony McCoy (red), Lester Piglet (yellow), Wonky Donkey (green) & Walter Swinbaan (blue).

The farmer guy top the right, is an old neighbours son, who has worked on the farm for over 11 years, & was like the Race MC.

This is a short video of the race, won by Lester Piglet, they have a turn of speed.

We then all went on to the Piggery, you had to hold your breath/nose,  fainting  where again we saw some of the biggest pigs, all with ladies names like Beryl & Muriel.  scratch

Then he went on the barrel ride around the farm with his Dad, & as it was raining a bit more, we decided to go home.

All in all, it was a fabulous day out & in the summer it would be well worth a full day there. I thoroughly recommend a day out at one of these farms,which might be local to yourselves for the kids/grandkids.  Thumsup
