We're all going on a Summer Holiday

Fee and Nik took me to Weston Super Mare for the weekend. We were supposed to be going to Big Green Gathering, but the Police and Mendip Council scuppered our plans...

So...as Fee and Nik had already paid for our travel, we went to the seaside for the weekend.



We travelled by train, and i spent most of it asleep on the table...except for the small baking break on top of a post box in London.

We went to a campsite in Kewstoke, just outside of Weston Super Mare. I found out that Nik's sleeping bag provides the perfect camouflage for a small gingerbread man!

But i found a bigger one that i preferred...




The next day we went to Glastonbury. It was a long long trek from Kewstoke - took us 3 hours to get there! (i think they went wrong somewhere, but i didn't dare tell them that...). When we got there, a nice long drink and a sit in a fairy garden was in order.

After Glastonbury (where Fee spent a fortune on some really heavy books that she had to carry all the way home...hee hee), we went to Bristol! We went to The Little Co-Op

And then, we met Mr Andy Hamilton!! Co-Author of The Self Sufficientish Bible - Fee's favourite book - she has a mention in the back...




The rest of the weekend was spent meeting Ishers. Ishers are apparently very special people, Fee loves them. I met Andy (above), Eccentric Emma and her OH, and Gigglybug. I like Ishers too!

And here is the complete group of FestivISHers!

After a busy weekend, we went to the aquarium on Sunday. Fee and Nik had had enough of my complaining by then (gingerbread men can't get wet...ok?! Get it?!) so they threatened to feed me to a shark...!

Then it was time to go home...i slept most of the way...

Next trip: York for the weekend. No Smurf, Bert and Kidlets this time though - they're moving to Cornwall :( I'm sure that Fee and i will visit them when we get back from our Adventures round the world!
