SOMERSET

Ello everybordy, Oi be in zummerzet!
'Avin a smarshin' tyme!

Arrived Saturday night about 10.30pm after about a three hour drive down the motorway.
Big Bruv and Sis'-in-Law had called to pick us up and bring us down here.
Didn't do too much on Sunday, just sat in the sun in the garden and relaxed, later that evening we had a barbeque.

Went to Longleat on Monday, took a walk round Lord Baths grand house, (makes mine look like a matchbox! My whole house would fit in just his entrance hall!) the rooms were enormous, some of the paintings were taller than my walls! Everything was so ornate, mirrors, paintings, carvings even just a door to get to another room was intricate and inlaid with marquetry! Absolutely stunning! It must take the window cleaner months to finish all those windows! Even Little'Un found it amazing. We will be going again tomorrow (Friday), this time to see the safari park.


On Tuesday we all went to the cinema to see Wall-E, (it was a bit dull and rainy that day) Little'Un had wanted to go to see Wall-E from the moment it had come out. Can't say I was too impressed with it, most of the story went over the heads of the kids but it didn't seem good enought for the adults so I was quite confused as to which kind of audience the film was supposed to be aimed for?
The rest of the day was spent playing bowling and tennis on the Wii sports. Whooohoo! Muscles ached that I didn't even know I had! Quite proud of myself, I did quite well even with my dickie knee!

Wednesday we went to Sedgemoor 'Splash' in Bridgwater,
a pool where they have flumes, whirlpools, fountains and a wave machine, had a fantastic time in there, then after we had come out, we did a bit of shopping
and called to a cafe for a snack.


Today (Thursday) is a lazy day, Little'Un is playing on the Wii again, I have just got back from a lovely long stroll along the river Parrett, all by myself! (I can't go anywhere by myself! I always have Little'Un or Max the dog, or mostly both of them, stuck to me like my shadows) it was sooooo peaceful. I sat on the grass for about an hour watching the clouds roll by and the house martins and swallows skimming the surface of the water, sometimes drinking, sometimes catching insects, the only sounds were the grasshoppers, the bees and birdsong - .........Absolute bliss........!


Saturday is the day we are travelling over to London to see 'The Sound of Music' at the London Palladium.

Then Sunday morning we set off back home. Me all the way kicking and screaming....... BOOOO!!! WAAAAHHHHH!!!! SCREAM!!! DON'T WANNA GO!!!!! LET ME STAY!!!!!

Will update this post more at a later date and will add some photos. That's all for now, don't want to waste time sat inside at a computer when I could be out with nature strolling along a river bank.
