Sunday at the Chapel was a lazy day, there isn’t much to
report and I wasn’t a fatty eating all day either – surprising, I know!
Monday Mike, his Dad and Brother in law Andrew went to the
Bovington Tank Museum so us girls went to close by Dorchester to go to the
Dorset Bear Museum. Beth, our niece, loved the almost 6ft bears as much and the
tiny ones; it’s a small yet sweet attraction and because of our under 3 and
carers discounts an inexpensive one too!

After some lunch at a place called Taste in Dorchester we
headed to Yeovil and a soft play center called Rug Ratz to amuse Beth whilst we
waited for the boys to return. As Mike’s sister Emma, is 7 months pregnant and I’m
well… me (i.e. crap) chasing Beth was left to Andrea (i.e. Grandma!). When the
boys came back all testosterone fueled from the man toy exhibition they took
over with play duty then we headed to Ask for dinner.
One of my best friends, Helen, moved the Ivybridge in Plymouth
in July and since we were close by we met up in Exeter today. Staying in town
centre, we took Beth and Helen’s son, Alex to another play centre called Dinkys
which was two minutes’ walk from the cities Cathedral. With the little ones in
tow we decided not to go inside, it’s such a beautiful building but currently
covered in scaffolding – annoying!

Exeter had just a huge city centre, Southend is looking remarkably
small and dull now. Exceter has such a wide range of shops and they’re all huge
– there’s a 5 storey John Lewis and a Cathy Kitson store… I may just be tempted
to move here myself!
Lucky for
Southend, I come home in three days’ time!
