Recently, I wrote a local guide for Lichfield for tots100 – if you have not seen it, click here.  Barton Marina is one of the places I mentioned.  It is a unique Trent & Mersey canal-side attraction with fantastic cafés and restaurants, shopping and fabulous walks around the beautiful lakes and woodlands.  We love to take our children there for a bike ride around the lakes and to eat ice cream.

Yesterday, we had our photo shoot to update our blog photo with our regular photographer – Susannah Conway Photography.  I am so excited that I can’t wait to update it soon!  After that, we drove down to Barton Marina for Thai food!  It had been a long time since we last ate Thai food!  They had a buffet menu and there was a good selection of foods.  It was very delicious and I would recommend going again.
