Wells

A travel blog entry by the_eads

This morning Graham and Christine (old family friends of the Eads) joined us for breakfast. It was a full house with Nicky, Ben and Abigail also staying. Poor Ben was all upset when he had to go off to school. Must have felt like he was missing out on all the fun. We headed over to Wells markets and wandered over to feed the ducks and swans in the moat. I never get tired of visiting Wells Cathedral. It's so pretty. It was freezing again today and I thought for sure ...

Nicky's 40th in Bath

... the bus in and went to Bath Thermal Spa. We met Christine (Jen's old friend) and her daughters Sharon & Sarah as well. There were four floors you could use and we started with the rooftop pool. It was soooooo warm. It was like a spa. But when you first stripped off, the pavers were absolutely freezing, so you had to rush on tiptoes to get into the water to get warm. Next was the third floor which offered spa treatments, but none of us had anything. ...

Glastonbury & Shepton Mallet

A travel blog entry by the_eads

We ran past a few people as we went along (said good morning etc), then Steve found out later in the day (when he was at the pub) that someone he used to know years ago had seen us and recognised him. After breakfast, Jen and I took Kendra & Abigail over to the Village for a ...

Cornwall - Bodmin, Lanlivery & Dobwells

A travel blog entry by the_eads

Today we set off from home at 8am (still hard to get used to it being pitch black in the morning) and headed to Cornwall for the day. Even though it has been cold each day, it has been lovely sunny, crisp days with clear blue sky. First stop was the Bessell's house (Geoff's cousin who is our age and used to live in Australia) for morning tea of homemade scones, fruit mince pies and gingerbread men. Delicious! We had been warned ...
