Saturday was a busy day; first thing we took mum to Wells as she hadn't been there before and it is very close to our home in Shepton Mallet. It was market day so mum got a chance to see what Wells is like at such a busy time and we all enjoyed a nice sit down in the square with a cuppa.
After having a nice play around on the Cathedral Green we went to the Bishops Palace and walked around by the moat. Nicky took some lovely photos of the moat, we were really lucky with the weather.
Back in Shepton Mallet it was Collett Day which is like a large village fete held outdoors in Collett Park. George did his usual pulling me in every direction when there's a lot going on so after an hour of helping out on Oscar's nursery's fundraising stand Nicky took him and we stayed there a little longer and had a bite to eat. It was a real mix there; along with the expected cake and plant stands there were an odd display of stationary engines, classic cars and, of course, morris dancers.
After a glorious day the weather turned at about 5pm; just in time for me to take George for his regular walk up to Barren Down via the orchard and cider factories; it really tipped down but we were well prepared and waterproofed up. Mum and Nicky stayed at home and Mum put her feet up while Nicky started on dinner. I've not recorded the track before so here it is on Google Maps;. Itturned out to be 2 miles in total which is probably why I get so tired with Oscar in the back pack...
