Sandsfoot Castle

Another lovely day for a picnic. We dropped Katharine off at the Nothe Tavern for work, then took ourselves down to Sandsfoot castle for picnic followed by running around playing hide & seek, well not me I just laid down and enjoyed the sun.

Over looking the sea from the castle edge.

Donkey's Everywhere

One place that we have been meaning to visit was the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary. Unfortunately I had to work, but surely a donkey is a donkey? well I have been told I am far from correct!

A donkey leading another around the pen.

 I wonder if the same ritual applies on this landmark, it should its hung like a donkey.

Cute

In the middle of the maze there is a Rebecca donkey.

Around ringstead

Picnic weather or so we thought! A trip to ringstead, the idea was to Park at the top  and walk down to the bay have a play & picnic then wonder back up, unfortunately the cold sea breeze did not disappear so it was a quicker trip than expected. 

Nice walk from top to bottom

Trying to find good firewood 

Settled for valcano building to keep warm. 

Easter holiday treat

Today was a holiday treat ! We decided to treat the kids to a meal at Katharine's new place of work. Great food and I feel I need to go up a belt buckle.
