There are a couple of extra days this week as we headed to Butlin’s last Friday for a weekend in Bognor Regis. POD loved meeting her favourite characters and we had the best time. Having arrived home on Monday, the rest of the week was business as usual.
Welcome to Project 365: Week #18.
Day 115
It was wet on Friday afternoon but we couldn’t resist having a look at the traditional fairground when we arrived! POD got to meet Angelina Ballerina, listen to Billy & Bonnie’s Storytime and we saw the Scooby-Doo show too.
Day 116
The sun appeared on Saturday so we were able to explore the resort following a parent and toddler swim. We tried out the carousel, the helter skelter and squeezed in a walk to Bognor beach.
We also discovered Scoop, an ice-cream parlour with the most wonderful selection of flavours including crème brûlée, coffee and pistachio.
POD was almost beside herself when she met Fireman Sam!
Day 117
Sunday was glorious so we made the most of the outdoors in-between shows. I love this photograph of the helter skelter.
and this one of POD having fun in the play area!
Day 118
Once home on Monday we got to enjoy some outdoor fun before the working week. The highlight was Daddy mowing the lawn and POD pretending to do the same next to him.
Day 119
It was an absolute delight to discover these humbug-like snails are back. They hide at the base of our Red Hot Poker stems but travel upwards when it rains.
Day 120
Little time today so it was a quick capture of our ever changing seedum.
Day 121
Dandelion clocks seem to be everywhere. I found the perfect one to photograph but sneezed and lost my footing. This was the result!
Day 122
No complete dandelion clocks today so I made do with what was available. They’re such pretty weeds!
Day 123
Another speedy capture today, this time of a fern unfurling. They’re so interesting close-up!
