On the airplane. Euey watching movies and Aoife and Euey having a nap. The naps were not very long but we got more sleep than we expected.
At the hospital on our 2nd day here. Aoife had gunk coming out of every orifice and had just finished a course of anti-biotics so we thought we should have a doc take a look at her. The only way to do that without havin registered with NHS was to take her to a hospital and risk picking up a super bug.
On the way to do our Xmas shopping we passed a camp of gypsies beside a round-a-bout. Gypsies, real gypsies! They had three clydesdales pegged around the round-a-bout.
The gypsy caravans.
Today we went to the Snow Dome. A huge indoor place where you can toboggon, go around on little sleds and generally play in the snow. The only guaranteed snow in England. No snow photos (I think Will got some, will post later) but part of the deal was a show with Santa and Sooty. Good ol' Sooty, didn't realise he was still alive and kicking. Euey and Aoife loved him, we'll have to find a few videos on YouTube for them.
Then we went to the animal part where we saw REAL REINDEER! Highlight of the trip for me. I never imagined I'd get to see a real reindeer. They have such soft fuzzy antlers, and the antlers are warm. Not what I imagined at all. No red noses in sight though, guess Santa must keep Rudolph for himself.
Shannon looked after Aoife all day, I hardly had to carry her at all. Another besotted cousin.
Euey thought the rabbit enclosure was like the one at home where you could get in an pick up the rabbits. Lucky we caught him before someone less forgiving did.
Euey and Will checking out the rabbits from the right side of the fence.
That's it for the moment, will post more as we go.
