Cheddar Gorge

Aunty Jane needed to go back to work, so we decided to go and visit Cheddar Gorge.  It was a gorgeous day, the sun was shining, it was hot, we were together, I really enjoyed it.  The caves were beautiful, and blessedly cool (I said it was hot, well it really was!)

When you get inside the caves you are given a hand set, you type the number in and it tells you information about the thing you are looking at.  

 There were loads of reflection pools.

 They still store the cheddar cheese in the caves, so lovely and cool down there.

 Then back outside again, we went on an open top bus for a tour of the gorge.  It was really interesting to hear all the stories about the different rocks.

 Caught on camera...

 We decided to brave Jacob's Ladder, it has 274 steps, and at the top there is a tower - more steps!  I got to the top fine, and thought I was doing well, but when I started to climb down my legs started shaking!  (Not so fit after all, must work harder in Aerobics)

The SeaQuarium

We went to the SeaQuarium in Weston-Super-Mare about a 45min drive from her house.  The building is built on a pier on the beach, it was really lovely.  Michael and Jodi met us there too.

They have a ray tank in the one section, you have to clean your hands and then you can touch them!  They are slimy on the bottom and bumpy/rough on the top.  They seem to love being touched and keep coming back for more stroking.  And in perfect keeping with Murphy's Law, I didn't get any footage of us actually touching them...

Afterwards we walked into the town to get some McDonalds for lunch.

Our Holiday in May/June

My Aunty Jane lives in Bridgewater, near Bristol.  We decided that we wanted to go and visit her for a holiday.  She was kind enough to make room for the 6 of us, thank you Aunty Jane!  

We went for a walk along the canal near her house.

It is a lovely walk and it is quite near to her house, she is lucky to have something so beautiful nearby.
