Today has been alright day. One of those ones where no one really knew what to do, so we just gave this a shot and it ended in this, yeah. Unfortunately, my camera killed out before we got to the really pretty place, so I don't have any photographs of interest for you. Just a couple of what a wonderful day it was, weather-wise though!

and of course, shots of the caravan so you can see where I'm spending my week. We left at around 10ish and got on the train at Holton Heath, headed along, got off and then took a train heading to Gloucester. We didn't go to Gloucester, however. We got off before that at a place called Bradford-Upon-Avon. At first I thought it was that Shakespeare town but no, it wasn't.
But it was absolutely beautiful. Everywhere was pretty greens, gorgeous buildings and it all looked so natural and cute. There's the river Avon running through, but there's also a canal so we had our picnic in the country park, and then headed to some tea rooms beside the lock, where we watched a canal boat come through. Was all nice and relaxed, apart from when we killed a wasp and I felt like I was going to throw up.
Bradford Upon Avon for you. Very, very pretty. :)
We looked around a couple of churches before heading back to the station where we got a train to Weymouth. As a kid, Weymouth was one of my favourite seaside towns and as we got off of the train, you could tell it was everyone else's, too! We nearly got swamped by a crowd as we got off! I'd fallen asleep on the train, so I wasn't exactly sure where we were.. until it sunk in. We went into a pretty fish and chips restaurant, where I had half a chicken and barely managed it all! Haha.
On the way home there was a bit of a struggle, however. The trains were being cancelled because of a fatality at Pokesdown, about seven stations further from where we wanted. Could've been a suicide, an accident. I don't know. But it meant our train stopped at Wareham, a station before the stop we needed, which is bloody gay if you ask me! The train was waiting at least an hour, as we tried finding a bus to take, or something. Luckily, we got the Taxi back, even if it was like.. two minutes away!
Then got into our cars, got to the caravan and now I'm here, writing this for you all and talking to Aaron on facebook.
But, heading off now.
Hopefully doing something decent tomorrow.
Toodles.
