Thursday

It's our Uncle's birthday and I think we are going to the beach with our cousins, but I'm not sure.

Granny's

We went to Granny's for lunch and then went on a walk to the park. One of our cousins needed the loo when we were at the park and had to be taken home by Granny.

Trip to Beaulieu

We had a mass family outing to Beaulieu and I think it is fair to say that a very good time was had by all. Everyone (even me, which was surprising) enjoyed the motor museum and the Top Gear and James Bond exhibitions. Almost everyone enjoyed the monorail ride (Adonis suddenly decided that he might now suffer from vertigo - I shall remind him of this the next time he tries to persuade me to go on a ride at a theme park) and the open top bus ride. See pic above of two very well-behaved boys on the top of the "olden days" no. 11.

We finished off a rather good day with some fish and chips. And beer. More pics will probably follow.

BBQ Sunday

The rain held off and we had a barbecue lunch with vegetable kebabs. Except for MightyShark, who has a deep-seated aversion to BBQ'd vegetables. But had no problem demolishing several lightly toasted marshmallows.

I then indulged in yet another round of hedgecutting and MightyShark and Twinkletoes had to clear up the hedgecuttings this time. Two of the Shark's long-lost toys were found in the hedge, but this did not stop him whinging about having to do "so much work".

He will be cleaning the chimney tomorrow...

Sunday

Granny is coming back from her holiday in France today and we are probably going to her house tommorrow for lunch.

Saturday

We went to see Toy Story 3 in 3D at the cinema with our cousins (the same ones who came with us to New Barn field centre), and I ate too much popcorn! The film was really good and the younger ones must have enjoyed it aswell, as none of them made a sound throughout the whole film (which makes a change!).

Friday

We visited New Barn field centre with our cousins and ate our lunch there. There were some animals (rabbits, chickens and turkeys) and lots of iron age buildings. Afterwards we went to a cafe in Poundbury and had some drinks; I had a chocolate milkshake.
