Wells
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 ...

After breakfast, Jen and I took Kendra & Abigail over to the Village for a ...

... banging your head on the ceiling beams). We were joined by Geoff's other cousin Kathleen, her husband Mike, and their daughter, her husband, and two children, plus Kathleen's brother Tony. 13 in total! After lunch we headed two minutes down the road to Geoff's cousin Tony's farm where the kids pulled on their wellies and helped feed the lambs, had a ride in the tractor, fed the cows and horses, and indulged in some ...
