England : Day Two

Today we went to Bodmin moor where the Cornish used to mine so there were heaps of awesome old buildings and deep holes in the ground that we could hide in. We kids got to hoon around and then the adults would come and find us. Ella, Finn and Maeve found an old passageway and hid in there and then made a wall out of rocks to hide where they were. Mum was looking straight at the opening and still couldn’t see them sniggering away.  I could see Finn’s face poking out of a gap in the rocks, so from then on it was pretty easy to catch them as there was only one way out.

We also saw a group of people taking part in a Celtic naming ceremony. They stood in a circle, some of them wearing kilts. At the end of the ceremony, they sang a song. It was a strange place to have such a ceremony, right on the moors.

After being there for a few hours we drove back home and had an early tea of Darragh's awesome curry and naan bread.  After lunch\tea we kids went on to start filming the movie that we had written. Although we didn’t get it finished before we left it was still fun taking photos of us in the car (: After wrestling on the tramp and enjoying dad’s scones with Cornish CLOTTED CREAM and homemade jam it was time for us to depart the Turley's and head to Anna Bananas. We arrived in Hitchin at 10, had some of Anna’s soup and went to bed.
