Tour of the West Country
Last weekend was a “re-introduce myself to my family” weekend which involved lots and lots of driving, coffee, chats and meals. The occasional dog and cat bothering too.
Friday down to Bath (Corsham/Box really) then down to Bristol IKEA with Mum then onto Weston-Super-Mare to see Grandma, then further down the M5 to Brean Down way to see Granny then back to Corsham to see Dad then next day back over to Bristol to see Nat, Cath and family. Around 450 miles of driving, one nail in a rear tyre, one engine light on and plenty of stops at motorway services. Think we’ll space it out a bit more next time. As usual a few photos were taken, all have been sent off to Photobox to print and put in my shoe box but here’s a few I like. Rest of the shots are on Flickr.
Tesco, Weston-Super-Mare. One of the only colourful things I could find to take a picture of.
Dad’s cat whilst we were on the way out to the pub – she even has her own chair.
Grandma’s House – nothing has changed here for years which is perfect.
Sweet shop in Weston-Super-Mare, next to Diva’s premiere strip club and a chip shop.
The GRAND PIER. Burnt down a few years ago, now resurrected. Used to come here with my Grandad and ride the train up and down the long run to the fun fair at the end.
Nat, with my old D70. Hope he learns as much I did from it. Bit knackered but still just about works.
A conversation about cats and their whiskers ended up with this scene demonstrating with plastic forks. Elsa made a far better model than I.
