My Summer Holiday - Tuesday Day 10

Boo! This was the last day of my holiday away, but, Hooray! I got to spend it with Granny and Grandpa and Mummy and Daddy and Lottie at Alnwick Castle and it was great! First of all we finished off Alnwick Gardens with a tour around the Poison Garden! Then we went to see the castle. I got to dress up as a knight and Mummy dressed up as a maiden. We went through a scary thing called the dragon's quest and I'm glad I had Daddy's neck to snuggle into and I'm glad I am still in nappies!

There was time for coffee and time to play with Grandpa and Daddy had a go at archery and did very good. Daddy says it's still the law that an Englishman should do archery practise and he likes to keep the law. Daddy got an arrow right in the middle of the target - he's like Robin Hood! We went for lunch at a little pub and I had fish fingers. I was sad when it was time to say goodbye to Gran and Grandpa. But I did have a lovely holiday!

My Summer Holiday - Monday Day 9

On Monday on my holiday I got up and ready early as me and Lottie, Mummy and Daddy and Granny and Poppy (Grandpa) were going to Alnwick. We were going there to spend some time in the gardens and to visit the castle. Grandpa has a big car and we all managed to fit in it together. When we got to Alnwick we went to see the gardens first. I like playing on the tractors and Granny took me to fill the bucket up with water.
I like playing in water lots and so does Grandpa! After spending the morning in the gardens we went a got some food in Alnwick. We then took it back to the gardens to have a picnic.
Later in the afternoon we went to a book shop called Barter Books. I like it because it is in an old train station and it has two little trains that run on a track over the book cases. then we went out for dinner - I had fish and then we went for a walk round a park. Daddy was my horsey and I rode on his shoulders for a bit round the park. Then I made everyone go for a run as it is good to get rid of all that dinner!
