So, after four days, we finally locate wi-fi in Cumbria, allowing us to catch up on our holiday so far…
Day 1 – 22-7-2011
Happy after another delicious lunch at the Rumblin' Tum in Moffat.
Scott: What are we talking about? Our day is it?
So?
Scott: (shouting) We’re on our holidays! We’re in our holiday house!
So are you having fun?
Scott: Yes.
Helen: Yes.
What have we done today?
Helen: We sponged lemons.
No, what did we really do today?
Helen: Went to a farm.
Scott: Went to our holiday house.
Helen: No, we went to a farm.
Scott: We played outside on the trampoline. Helen, what was the highlight of your day?
Helen: We went to the farm.
Scott: No, what was your favourite thing?
Helen: Having dinner.
What was yours, Scott?
Scott: Bouncing on the trampoline.
Helen: Me too.
Scott: Copy cat.
Helen: Copy cat.
What we really did was drive to Moffat and have lunch at the Rumblin’ Tum and a wander round the shops, then drive to Brampton and dump our stuff at the house and then go into town for a wander and buy some things. Fun?
Scott: It took 300 years, Daddy.
Helen: It took 100 years.
Scott: It took infinity years.
Day 2 – 23-7-2011
Burning off some energy after the brilliant fuggies at Shilloth.
What did we do today?
Scott: We’re on holiday for the first full day!
Helen: For two weekends.
What did we do today?
Helen: Our full days.
Scott: Helen made poses – ornamental. Whoever is reading this, I will never be listening because… Maybe we could do that! We could make a CD of the blog!
Why?
Scott: Then lots of people would buy it.
We went to great fuggies today.
Scott: Yes. If anyone doesn’t know what that is, we just mean it’s the amusements. I know I’m the strangest person in my class.
I think they were the the best fuggies ever.
Scott: And I got a gold bar.
Helen: I had it first.
Scott: I can’t believe Helen swapped it – they’re only £1.50,
Then we had fish and chips in the park.
Helen: It was warm.
Then we had ice cream.
Helen: Scott had sweeties.
Was it a fun day?
Helen: Yeah.
Scott: Helen, you should be eaten by a Tardigrade.
Day 3 – 24-7-2011
Bew Castle. Destroyed by llamas apparently...
What a busy day: car boot sale, village fayre, lunch, castle and then fun day. What did you like best?
Scott: I liked the car boot sale because I got the Lego there.
Helen: I liked the lucky dip – it was lucky, wasn’t it?
What did you get in the lucky dips?
Scott: I got a bag of sweeties. Can I tell you what it usually is? Toy and sweeties. If you’re really lucky, a small bear. Black bags are rarer.
So what was the best bit of today?
Helen: Eh… The lambs.
What lambs?
Helen: You know – the lambs we saw in the field, silly.
Scott: Car boot sale.
Helen: Farm and Car boot sale. No, lucky dip.
Scott: What’s your 3000 favourite things in the world?
Helen: Spinning tops and spinning tops.
Scott: So you like spinning tops, that’s one. Give the numbers as you go along.
Helen: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18…
Scott: You missed 15.
Helen: No I didn’t.
Scott: I’ll tell you what you were like: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18…
Helen: No, I wasn’t.
Are you having a good holiday?
Scott: Yes.
Helen: Yes.
Oh, you also saw a magician today.
Scott: It wasn’t magic.
Helen: It was magic, but Scott said it wasn’t.
Why wasn’t it magic?
Scott: It doesn’t matter.
So it was magic?
Scott: Yes, it was. I don’t know how he did that thing when he made the Rubik’s Cube disappear…
Day 4 – 25-7-2011
Scott enjoying one of the fantastic slides at Walby Farm Park.
Today we went to Walby Farm Park – fun?
Scott: (unsure) Yes.
You don’t sound very sure.
Scott: We were satisfied.
Helen: And Baddest was there.
Scott: Mr B Addest.
Tell the readers who Baddest is.
Scott: Baddest is the goat that ate Helen’s finger last year, and it’s still there.
Helen: That’s untrue.
Who is Baddest then, Helen?
Helen: Eh… It’s a part of soap.
Scott: It’s a goat that ate Helen’s finger.
Helen: It’s a tap.
What were today’s highlights?
Helen: Eh… perfect.
Scott: I’m thinking…
Helen: Slides.
Scott: I’m thinking…
The big slides?
Scott: I liked going down the big slides at the soft play.
What about the maize maze?
Scott: I got a pound.
Why?
Scott: Because I found a map and then I returned it unopened and I got a pound.
Then we all had ice creams. Fun day?
Scott: Fun day.
