GLASS WINDOW


THIS WINDOW HAD A PICTURE OF FISH IN THE OCEAN AND THE SKY AND THE SUN ABOVE. IT'S ONE OF THOSE YOU HAD TO BE THERE PICTURES.

YES, WELCOME TO MY NEW HOME!


CAN YOU IMAGINE LIVING IN THIS CASTLE? JUST IMAGINE THE SLEEPOVERS YOU COULD HAVE!

Cool landscaping


Right outside the caslte, I wish my hedges looked like these!

Inside the Amusment Park


Let the fun begin! Okay so this Park is built around this castle on 500 acres. Sooo cool. The Earls of Shrewsbury occupied the castle from 1412 to the 1920's. The 15th Earl Charles Talbot tamed the landscape around the castle in the 1700's. It is so beautiful take a look!

DAY TRIP OUT!


ALTON TOWERS!


WE DROVE OFF TO ALTON TOWERS , 1/2 A TANK LATER OF GAS WE ARRIVED WITH THE DROVES OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAD THE SAME GREAT IDEA AS WE DID, IMAGINE THAT!

BY THE TIME WE ACTUALLY GOT MOVING IN THE PARK IT WAS PROBABLY 10:30AM OR SO. IT IS ONE OF THE BEST AMUSEMENT PARKS IN ENGLAND AND DESPITE ALL THE PEOPLE WE WERE ABLE TO LEAVE THE PARK BY 5:30PM AND EVERYONE WAS READY TO GO HOME.

HIYA !


Hiya (British greeting),

Sorry I haven't been to the blog but I've been busy just doing errands and running the kids back and forth to the base.


We spoke to Corey and he's doing fine. He had an accident at work which involved him and the driver of the golf cart tipped over and his ankle dragging under the cart. He's okay but not making money and his ankle is still swollen with blood blisters. Yummy!


Kimo finally has 3 days off and we are planning to take the kids to Alton Towers tomorrow to the amusement park. It is the only thing I think they will be doing this summer. If there Essays they turned into the Youth Centers get picked they will be able to go to Wales on a 4 day camping trip to water raft, rock climb and do other outdoor events for free. I of course volunteered to be a Chaperon but I'm wondering now if that was a smart thing seeing that it requires all this physical stuff.


I have been hitting the antique store and boot sales and just having a little bit of shopping fun collecting English things for a few quid (bucks) here and there.


I will post pictures this week of the Alton Towers trip. Should be fun lots of roller coasters! Until then, CHEERS!

Love to all,

Candice
