Took the kids to a P.O.W. camp!!!!! (but had to bring them home)

Feeling much better today, so we went out for a family day out. We went off to Harperly Hall,with the plan to see the military vehicle display, although, driving past Paul was quite disappointed with the 'appalling lack of massively tooled up vehicles' (his words not mine!!).
So we headed straight to the prisoner of war camp, which I had seen on the BBC's Restoration programme a few years ago, (then a derelict collection of buildings ready to be demolished)
The first Buildings we saw had been restored and used as sales outlets, garden centre, craft shops, gift shop and restraunt. All this was obviously funding the rest of the restoration project. The girls had spotted the adventure play ground, so, they burnt off a little energy before we looked around the rest of the site.
There was a 1940's house which I thought was fascinating, mostly for the textiles, the bed coverings, the hooky mats and the clothing.
We then had a guided tour of the rest of the site, we had a talk, saw a short film then were taken to a couple of the huts, one of which had been transformed into a mini Theatre, with a stage and orchestra pit, made by the prisoners. I could go on but my descriptions wouldn't do any justice, so you will have to go and see for yourselves, it was certainly well worth a visit.(The girls lost intrest after a while, but they did enjoy the play ground!!!!)
