School Holidays and the need to take the kids somewhere... Away from the sofa and MTV. Spring lives right round the corner from Longleat and if we walk and ditch the car we don't pay the entrance fee... Just each ride.
So we walked. And boy did we walk. This drive way seemed to go on forever. The journey down was ok but on the way back and uphill part of the way nearly killed me off.
Maybe I should get some sensible shoes and not the slip on rubbish cheap things I wear.
Here are the intrepid walkers helping each other along. If you could have seen Spring's face... It was pure pain. Those girls won't leave the poor man alone.
The first attraction in there was a bat cave. Except it didn't say it was a bat cave but Old Joes Mine. First I thought it was a ride. We got in there, opened a blackout curtain, and a 100 bats flew at me. I was terrified and had to leave via the entrance. Spring thought them most wonderful.. He said they were cute. It took me and the girls an hour to calm down
Au naturelle... Spring finds a Railway. This thing took us all round Longleat with a puff and toot on it's bell. 5 of us got in one small carriage and somewhere had their knee in a most precarious place. Good job we didn't crash.
In the gift shop father and son find matching hats.
He also got wulf 4 packets of sherbert which he immediately dropped down his front and was attacked by a swarm of sherbert loving wasps. Cute.
