Plans for a Rainy Day

Yesterday, we looked at the weather forecast and thought we'd better plan for the first rainy day of our holiday so far. But by mid-morning the sun was shining once again. But we had fun doing our rainy day activities anyway. This morning we went to the swimming pool and this afternoon we painted penguins.

Later this week the two penguins, 'Joanna' and 'Penguin' will be fired in a kiln and will be ready for collection next Thursday, by which time we'll be back in London.

Cricket

Today there was time for cricket practice. With the decisive Fifth Test starting tomorrow which England's men must win if they are to regain the Ashes it is maybe worth remembering that England's Women's Cricket Team are champions of everything this year. And here are future stars in the making!

More time at the beach

Bicton Gardens

Yesterday we enjoyed the day at Bicton Gardens - which involved yet another train ride. And lots of running around in gardens that are kept almost as well as mine!

Today we're off to the beach again.
