We went to Colchester, day three

When we got up today, we noticed we were on Bob's calendar!!!  Huzzah!

We had toasted scrumpet and salted caramel sorce for breakfast.  It was yummers!!!

After breakfast, we helped Arnty Helena jazz up her living room table.

First she had to measure out some soft foam to put on the top.  We sat on top to stop it from slipping while she cut it down to size.

Once or twice, she pulled a bit too hard and we fell over!!!!

She's exhaustipated now....!

Yup.  That's well chewed....

Then we got the fabric out and staple gunned it to the bottom.  Arnty Helena did "Hospital Bed" corners on it, and everything!!!  We're impressed!!

Then we all had a frolic on it!!!

....by which time we were hungry so we had some chocolate Hobnobs.

Arnty Helena had the last Pistachio Macaron from her birthday box we got her!!

She loves those!!

I also had some of that spiffy goats cheese we got the other day!! Mmm-MM!!

Bob gave Tango a new scarf!!  We've all got one now!

Then Uncle Kevin came home and he drove us somewhere!  That's Tango and Bob navigating!

We came here!!!

Flatford!!  Where's Flatford??

They got a totum pole over there!!

OH!  That's fun!

Oh wow!!!  That's where Constable painted the Hay Wain picture!!!!!

We made a video of it!

We all sat down for a good look!!

We had a wander round as well!  Arnty Helena had to help Andrea cross the bridge though, because it has holes in the sides.

Made another video

Then we decided to go for tea

We came here!!!

Well??  Where's the tea??

Ah!  We have tea!!!

AND SCONES!!!!  Wiv strawberry jam AND clottid cream!!!

EXCELLENT!!!

Arnty Helena does it properly too - jam first then the clottid cream.

She's sensible.

Bob licked out the cream container because there was a bit left.

Then we had a little walk around - I left a CD on a railing!

When we got home, we studied our shopping.  Salted Caramel hot choccy and Mango chutney.

MMMMMMmmmmmmmm!!

Arnty Helena put a hat on later and cooked basketti bolognaise for dinner.

It was proper YUMMY!!!!

Then we were so exhaustipated, we went to bed!!!

We went to Colchester, day two

Today we got up and went to the Breakfast room!

We started off with cornflakes, orange juice an coffee....

....and then had bacon, eggs, tomato and mushrooms.  Yum!!!

That's the view up the road!

Then we had to pack our stuff up to go see Bob and Dilly!!!

We had the chap at reception call a taxi for us, and we made a video of the book-bar thing!

And a short while later, we were at Bob and Dilly's House!!!!!

Bob made us a cup of tea in his Bear Pot!

And then we all gave presents to everyone!!!!!

Because it's Arnty Helena's birthday soon, we got her a box of Macarons as her birthday cayke!  Half of them are bear colours (brown) and half are sessy wagon colours (green and pink)

I got a bear one!!!

And Tango got a new hat!!!

Later on, we had a ride into town.....

...and we had a look round the shops and met a frog!!!

We stopped for tea too.

And then came across a cheese and pie stall.  We got some scrumtiddlyumptious goats cheese that was proper yumbo!!!

OH!!!  BOB'S KNOBS!!!

There used to be a craft market place in that church but they've all gone now.

Then we got on a bus round to Arnty Helena's Mummy's house.....

And when we were there, cat came round for tea!!!

And then we came back to Bob and Dilly's house!

And we had Pizza and Chips for dinner!!!  It was FAB!

Later on we were all exhaustipated so we went to bed!

What fun!
