Plymouth

We had a lovely couple of days in Plymouth starting with a trip out to Tavistock where we went swimming before stopping at the 'Big Rock' at Yelverton. This is somewhere we went quite often as little kids and got a big kick out of climbing this big rock which turns out to be not quite the size I remember! I was expecting snow capped peaks and oxygen masks but it was only about 30 feet high. It was difficult to get down though because its been climbed on so much, the surface has been worn smooth over the years and you just slip down too fast if not careful. I did manage the whole climb having made base camp first and befriended the local sherpas.

We also played hurkey which involves one seeker trying to catch the the others before they make it back to the hurkey post. We played it again at Plymbridge today hiding behind trees and along the river bank. Rochelle is peeking over the bank unsuccessfully trying to hide. You can see how pleased she is to be caught.

We've arranged to work on Morag's garden next half term so there will be plenty of pictures of more gardening to come. I bet you can hardly wait.
