We have wiifii - what ever the heck that is. Anyway, I am back, temporarily at least. Here is the show so far and in no particular order
Old steam train trip. I could hear the Narnia theme music the entire trip. It has been years since I have been on a steam train. It really was enchanting - I am now desperate to read The Philosopher's Stone just to read about the Hogwarts Express all over again...
The obligatory cream tea. This one was particularly delicious, the scones were still warm, the jam was home made and the clotted cream was meltingly rich...
The steam train stopped off at an animal rescue centre. There were so many of my favourite animals there. Owls, call duck and goats. There were hedgehogs too but I was so enchanted with these that I forgot to take a photograph. They were gorgeous, believe me...
Look at this nosey one. Isn't she gorgeous? I do so love goats.
Rose got some fishing in. She didn't catch anything but really enjoyed the afternoon. V did not find it riveting though, so next time I have volunteered to supervise and get some serious knitting time in...
And of course we have visited a castle. Only one, but this is a beauty. Berry Pomeroy, home to the Seymour family - Jane Seymour, the third wife of Henry VIII. Her brothers led truly knife edge lives in the court of the following Tudors. I believe their father was executed by Bloody Mary. I loved studying the Tudor period, so colourful* and dramatic, absolutely fascinating.So it has been a great trip so far. If my airtime lasts I will pop round to see what you lot have been doing while I have been away.
ttfn!
*scarlet usually - she wasn't called Bloody Mary for nothing...

A castle! I'm envious :)
