Our last day away saw us head up to WWT Slimbridge. David
and I are members of the WWT so we get free entry to their sites. I don’t cope
well in the sun and despite my big wide-brim hat we had to keep ducking in and
out of bird hides to get some respite from the heat.
The highlight of my whole day was finding a flamingo feather
on the floor (!!!). I LOVE flamingos and
have done for a very long time (this whole flamingo trend that’s happening is
not helping, as I also love tat and now have multiple flamingo-themed/print
everything). Now I have a feather from an actual flamingo and I shall treasure
it forever – in my new flamingo print glasses case.
We decided to avoid the M5 coming home so had a leisurely
drive up the A38 stopping for a Maccies. Their mango & pineapple crushed
ice things are SO refreshing in this weather.
I took my crochet away with me as I always do but didn’t do
a thing with it. Too hot/tired/exhausted from the heat to do anything in the
evenings. I thoroughly enjoyed our little break. We have decided that we
absolutely must have a seaside jaunt once a month every month next year, so we
will.
