Blue Planet

Sunday 23rd August - Blue Planet Aquarium, with Uncle Jon and Grandad.

Conwy

Saturday 22nd August - Uncle Jon took us to Conwy, where we explored the castle, walked along the quay and visited the smallest house in the country and a wonderful Elizabethan town house. Ellie and Uncle Jon walked round the walls before we met up again on the suspension bridge.

Rheged

Wednesday 19th August - tent packed away for the year (sob) we stopped off at Rheged on the way back to Meols, and played on the spacehoppers.

Zookeeper!

Tuesday 18th August - Oasis Wildlife Park. Ellie was Junior Zookeeper for the afternoon and fed banana to a Pacu, prawns to mudskippers and fruit to bats. Other jobs included looking after chicks, checking on a variety of reptiles (including Speedy the Biting Tortoise) and cleaning out the meerkats. A brilliant day out.

Grasmere

On the way back from Windermere we stopped in Grasmere for gingerbread supplies.

Windermere

No photos from Aug 16th as it was wet and miserable. With the flood alert still in place we stayed in Keswick, with retail therapy in the morning and a trip to the Pencil Museum in the afternoon.
Monday 17th August - we went to the Aquarium of the Lakes in the morning, ate our lunch overlooking Windermere before going over to Fell Foot Park and building a den with new friends Abbie and Edie.

Lanercost and Bewcastle

Later in the day we visited Lanercost Priory and Bewcastle Cross, driving past Askerton Castle. The sun came out!
