My Holiday - Day Five

I had Kippers for breakfast for the first time and they are lovely. I also had my porridge, toast with honey on and some of Mummy's Rice Krispies. Today we all went to Alnwick to see the gardens there. It is a great place as there is lots to see and do. There is a maze made from bamboo, lots of water falls, a rose garden, a poison garden with scary plants - some in cages, but best of all there are tractors that you can ride on and if you take them to a waterfall you can fill the front bucket up with water. The weather was also lovely today.

First of all we played on the tractors and because Daddy was pushing we tried to soak Mummy, but she was too quick for us!

Then we went to explore the maze, but there were lots of school children there and it was busy so we decided not to go in today. Then Daddy, Uncle Chris (H) and Auntie Dawn went on a tour of the Poison Garden. Daddy learnt that rhubarb leaves can kill you if you eat them and is worried as we have them growing in the garden! Daddy was also impressed with a plant called Hog weed which can give you a nasty burn like touching the oven or something, except this burn will come back when you go in the sun! I'm glad I stayed outside with Mummy, Amy and Lewis and ate yogurt coated raisins as it all sounds quite scary!

After that we walked around the rose garden and then the walled garden and I got to smell the lovely flowers and bushes and to paddle in the water.

Daddy and Uncle Chris (H) took lots and lots of photo's.

We then had a picnic with crisps and my jam sandwiches and ham rolls and afterwards the Mummy's and Daddy's tried to play frisbee. Sometimes they threw the frisbee good, but were pants at catching, then sometimes they threw the frisbee bad and were catching great! At least they had fun.

Before we left the gardens we went to a tree house and I got to walk on a very bouncy bridge which was so much fun I had to have a second go!

Then we went to a second hand book shop which was huge and was called Barter Books and it had a train that went around the top of the book cases.
