Well Friday arrived and we gratefully left the Wardonia Hotel, again only one night spent there when we got back from Paris, but NEVER AGAIN!!!! We caught the tube to London City Airport to pick up the car - that's another story, suffice it to say, I said after our last trip I would never hire with Europcar again - I should have bloody well listened to myself!!!
Anyway we finally got in our car and headed off for the 4 hour trip to Mick and Sue's in Somerset. The trip took us 5 hours, but we arrived safely to be met with the warmest of welcomes.
Over the weekend Mick drove us to various places including a willow farm and Sheppy's Cider as well as a couple of pubs!!!
It was so nice to just relax and be pampered, Sue and I sat up late each night going over family history and enjoying a glass of wine. Terri and Mick very sensibly left us to it!!!
M&S's place is absolutely devine, their home is so warm and welcoming, the gardens are beautiful and the outlook over their neighbours small holding which is alive with the most friendly farm animals you will ever meet just signals relaxation.
Terri and I met the sheep, the alpaca's, the goats, both normal size and pygmy, the guinea fowl, chickens, geese and the pigs who I fell in love with.
It was a wonderful weekend and so very special to spend more time with my cousin.
On Sunday afternoon we walked to the local church that was built in the 1400's, it is beautiful.
