It was the first day of Cannington today – or so we thought. Arrived twenty minutes late (we always seem to run very late when we first go back – out of practice!) to find the place deserted. Found someone and asked, to find Bob wasn’t even in today. Great, he’d forgotten to tell us!

I really didn’t want to go back home, so after pondering what to do we (mum & I) decided to be spontanious and go to Burnham-On-Sea. We had ice lollies and wandered along the prom – I even went right down the launching strip and let the waves lap (very gingerly) round my wheels! Not for long, obviously. Electrics and sea water don’t really mix…. – and then went into the centre and explored all the shops – I was ecstatic to find the best birthday card ever for Lyn, and got her present too 🙂 It was almost 1pm by this time so we went back to the car, collected lunch and went down onto the beach to eat it. I actually went onto the sand and even managed to put my feet in the sand! It was amazing, totally magical.

After lunch we finished our tour of the shops, went shopping in Somerfield and then drove home! Well, we decided to go back over the hills, entering via a route we’d never taken before. It didn’t work – we never found the hills and ended up with a tour of Bridgwater instead!

It really was such a nice day, not so much for where we went in that I felt so normal and totally free. Loads of overweight dogs there though 😆
