| This is going to be a megga blog--lots of photos from our recent break.......We went away early Sunday morning for a 2 night break at The Manor Hotel Yeovil..I love traveling over the Severn Bridge--got some lovely photos of it to work from in the future. |
 |
| Our room was lovely---huge 4 poster bed....and loads of room to put everything!There is always good WIFI at Old English Inns so I was able to keep up to date with bookings etc. |
 |
| Lovely bathroom..also had a huge corner shower as well as a bath..... |
 |
| A facebook friend told us about Ninesprings which is a huge park area just 5 mins from our hotel with some very interesting sights---I took over 3oo photos there--all sorts of things caught my eye.I'm getting more and more interested in photography and catching interesting scenes to snap...I just loved this tree stump complete with fungi.. |
 |
| A lovely place to sit and take in the views---the seat at the end of the steps... |
 |
| this pond was alive with fish,dragonflies and moor hens... |
 |
| I think the fish are roach but I'm not 100% we did have a couple in our pond once--not sure what happened to them! Haven't seen them for ages! |
 |
| really pleased with this snap--got the reflection of the swan just right! |
 |
| another favorite snap--more reflections... |
 |
| the tree roots are just great on this steep bank.....and the light was streaming through and making wonderful patterns on the ground.. |
 |
| admiring the view! |
 |
| lovely old fence.. |
 |
| this beautiful waterfall besides the steps was so pretty... |
 |
| more reflections! |
 |
| Looks like a ghostly figure in this picture.... |
 |
| this amazing tree must have been struck by lightening at some point--its completely hollow but still growing! |
 |
| another lovely place to sit and watch the world go by... |
 |
| I love a nice firm bum!!!!! |
 |
| The Manor Hotel |
 |
| an interesting view! |
 |
| After a long walk around the Ninesprings we went back to the hotel for a coffee and lie down before heading into Yeovil for a mooch round the charity shops--there are loads of them there--picked up loads of bargains.Then as the weather was sooo beautiful we drove to Weymouth which was just 27 miles away.It was heaving with people all enjoying the sunshine on the beach... |
 |
 |
| as The Manor is over 300 years old it is quite quirky and quite unlike a modern building!The sash windows just wouldn't stay up and we do like the windows open when its warm..luckily Bill had a brainwave and used an empty water bottle to jar it open! It was 8 weeks on Sunday since Ive had any booze---am feeling quite chuffed with myself! I'm enjoying ginger and lemongrass with sparkling water most of the time but occasionally like an elderflower spritzer as well! So we had plenty of bottles of water with us -that came in handy! |
 |
| After a full English breakfast this morning we we set off to one of our all times favorite places -Weston -Super-Mare.The weather forecast was completely wrong--it said it was going to rain a lot and it didn't-so we had a lovely mooch around more charity shops. I also managed to pick up some more canvas's.So the car was really loaded up by the time we got home... |
 |
| there is always something to see on the seafront..we loved this trike... |
 |
| the Weston Wheel-----never again LOL |
 |
| We sat and people watched for a good 30 mins--this living statue was soooooo good.I don't know how they do it--he earned every penny.We had a lot of laughs when he scared several people and children by moving when they dropped money in his bucket! |
 |
| a few miles from home we were caught up in a huge traffic jam--we feared the worse-an accident..but were relieved to see it was just an old steam roller en-route for Onslow Park this weekend... |
