Our first trip was to the lighthouse, standing on top of the world and waving across the miles to America. I was thankful Hector fell asleep so we didn't have the worry, he is like a whippet and moves so fast not the ideal place for him.
We had a ball exploring the castle and grounds, the museum although small was a delight to stroll around and suitable for children. They had fun with the dressing up clothes, sadly the camera had run out of batteries so not a lot was recorded but I do have lots of lovely memories.
A stroll around the harbour was wonderful and had the added bonus of seeing several seals swimming around, much to Wilbur's delight.
Grandad had lots of tales to tell, tall ones I am sure.
There was an amazing film which you were immersed into and taken through the seasons of the year on the Island, it was quite extraordinary. We were on the look out for Granny's cottage but we didn't see it.
We had a great time making up a castle and re-enacting some of the scenes from bygone times with knights in shining armour and Granny the damsel in distress.
They were Farmers of the sea, not sure what that is maybe a fisherman?
Treasure hunters...
Fossil hunters...
Hungry boys...
It was a joy to spend quality time with them and immerse myself in their imaginative play.
Long may the memories of this wonderful week last. I will take you on some of our trips in my next post.
A very warm welcome to new followers, I hope you enjoy my little adventures through life. A big thank you for all your comments and support. Our little cottage looks like a tornado has hit so it will take awhile catching up with the washing and cleaning but I will visit and catch up with you all as soon as I can. In the meantime, a woolly picture to finish, have a wonderful day.
See you soon.
