Half Term Visitors…

I’d not been back long from Wales as my next two Grandsons arrived – Ethan and Elijah – who were to stop with me for the week… ready for some adventures !

I started gently with them, going to the Museum of Science and Industry http://www.mosi.org.uk/ in Manchester… one of my personal favourites, and although busy with lots of other half term visitors, still a good day out …. and well worth the travel in and out, and whilst we were on our way home discovered something for later in the week… However the next day the boys ‘insisted’ on a nice walk up onto South Head in the Autumn ‘sunshine’…or was it wind and rain ?

What could be done in the Autumn rain… something that even Grandad was looking forward to …the BMX track at Platt Fields in Manchester !http://www.nationalcyclingcentre.com/bmx/outdoor-track/ I collected Little Lol and his cousin on the way there, and the five of us turned up ready to ride ! I’m not sure they were all too pleased to see Grandad ready to ride…but ride he did, and what a great time…and they all kept racing, determined to eventually beat me…so I had to give in eventually …didn’t I ?

All too soon, the week was over, and we all drove down to Wiltshire and back… for me to put my feet up !!

Castles and Jacuzzi’s

A nice invite across to Wales from Anna,Gavin ,Tristan and Lincoln, had us all sat in a Jacuzzi…in the rain in Snowdonia… well it would be a shame not to, when it looked so inviting !

We were stopping at a great Holiday Park up in Snowdonia, and not only was there lots of things to do there, we were only up the road from Caernavon Castle, where we had great fun climbing…and imagining ..

and had a great daytrip up to the top of Mount Snowdon…. although the youngsters took the train !

So, a flying visit to Wales, saw me leaving them all there as I returned home… to prepare for the next bunch…
