Seaside

Burnham-on-Sea and Western-Super-Mare


We had been to Burnham before for a day trip from another place. We didn't realise until we had been there for a while. I even thought we had been in a cafe similar to the one we were in. Then the penny dropped!

SS Great Britian

We have been down to Bristol to see the SS Great Britain.

SS Great Britain is a museum now, designed by Brunel. We have been before but you can actually go underneath now. Actually under the water and get close enough to touch. We knew this was a feature before we went, but I didn't realise that we would be that close.




It was a damp wet day, but thankfully most of it was undercover, as in, inside the boat.



Goods waiting to be loaded unto the boat.




See what I mean, actually underneath the boat.


The air supply is controlled to remove moisture from the air.

A Day by the Sea

This isn't really by the sea, its a day at Abbey Pumping Station - Seaside Special.

Along side this event Leicester Heritage Bus Running Day takes place as well.



You could go for a ride around the City on these buses.




All the fun of the fair.







The weather was kind and a good day was had by all.
