It was grey and overcast when we got up this morning but DRY!
We went for a drive to Minehead, saw the steam railway, walked along the promenade and to the harbour. We had a picnic at a posh park that indicated was a "quiet park" - no ball games allowed and no swings or slide for the kids. Anais and Roman amused themselves by playing hide and seek in the bushes instead.

After lunch we went to Watchet, had an ice cream at the harbour and walked along the harbour wall which made me feel ill as it is a very high sudden drop with no railings with the sea on the other side! There was a statue in memory of Samuel Taylor Coleridge "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" - something I remembered I had to study at uni (and didn't enjoy very much!) Last year when we came here we visited his house which is now looked after by the National Trust.
This afternoon the owner, Margaret and her grandson very kindly came to find us and ask if we would like to help to collect the fresh eggs from the chicken coop which we thought was lovely of her as we were unable to do so yesterday due to the heavy rain.
She gave Anais and Roman a box of fresh eggs which they carried proudly and very carefully back to the caravan which we will have boiled for breakfast with soldiers!

We went for a walk around the farm before tea today in case it rains again after tea like it has the past two days.
Staying on a farm is an assault on the senses! We have the fresh farm smell, the sound of animals, we can go and stroke them (touch), fresh eggs (taste) and there is an abundance of colour everywhere (sight).

It was actually brighter after tea than it was before tea so we went for another walk and went to feed the donkeys and stroke the lambs.
Roman rescued two pop bottles from the rubbish and made a jet pack.
Anais did a picture of fairies and started her cupcake latch hook (picture to follow tomorrow).
The caravan in pitch two left today but another caravan has arrived next to us.
You can just about see the generous size of the pitches on this photo.

Mark has finished reading "Dracula" which he started reading when we went to Barnsdale Hall in February, to be fair he doesn't get much time to read at home.
I am now on book three of The Hunger Games - "Mocking Jay" and am LOVINGTHEM! Mark has started reading book one now "The Hunger Games" - we have said once he has finished the first book we will buy the film on dvd to watch.
