After a crazy drive down country lanes in the pitch dark, we made it to Swallow Cottage near Bucknell in Shropshire. We pretty much managed to keep the whole thing a secret from the boy, though he claims he knew what was going on. The evening was spent catching up with family and eating coffee and walnut cake. We also popped outside in hats and coats to gaze at the stars. Words cannot express how utterly dark and quiet it was there. Great views of the Milky Way, many constellations and so many more stars than we are used to seeing at home.
We were very ready for our beds that evening =)
