Trip to the Shard

For a birthday treat we went up the Shard.

Never have seen so many staff doing pointless jobs. There were staffed lifts, and you have to change lifts halfway up (due to the weight of the lift cable preventing really long lift runs). There were people standing outside the lift to guide you around the corner to the other lift. There were people to take your ticket and touch it to the reader. It just went on and on!

Open Farm Day at Wookey Farm

We had a great day out at Wookey Farm last Sunday. It was Open Farm Sunday. The weather was warm and sunny and this no doubt helped but the response was amazing. I think over 200 car loads of visitors came along and enjoyed a few hours in the sunshine.

Apart from a general look around a working farm including all the animals, Wookey Farm offered:

  • Milking Demo
  • BBQ
  • Tractor Trailer rides
  • Welly Wanging (Charlie came first in the kids section!)
  • Official opening of the Farm Shop by Tessa Munt
  • nature trail
  • seed circle
  • artisan tree stand

Fantastic day put on by Sarah and Ian.
