Half term break - the final part.

David Boyd left on the Wednesday to spend a couple of day in London before returning to Australia. He caught an early train from Weymouth. The children were exhausted from the first four days of the mid term break and were pleased to have a few days to do nothing - (i.e. watching TV, playing on the computer or iPod). They were so tired, they were concerned that they would not be able to wake up in time to say goodbye to David on Wednesday morning. He was catching an 8AM train so there was no chance of them missing him.

On the Saturday I finally got to go up the Weymouth Tower. It was not what I expected. It is actually a ride, where you sit down and then the platform rises to the top,  you go around twice and then the platform descends.

On the Sunday it was very cold and we went to a motor museum near Southampton as this was seemed a good indoor activity. The highlights for the kids were the Bond cars from the movies - (even though they had only ever seen one of the Bond movies when we went)  and the Top Gear car creations.









On the Monday, the children happily returned to school for a rest.
