They cashed in their tickets for prizes: Fairy wings for Tahlia, lollipops for Ptolemy, car race track for Zachary, sword and shield for Jory |
|
Enjoying Minehead beach on the last day |
|
Paddling fun |

|
Tahlia admires the view from the top of Hound Tor |
|
On top of the world |

Jory pauses for a well-deserved rest after all that climbing |
|
Cuddle time |
|
So many rocks! |
|
More furniture in the corridor - ready for Hospiscare to collect |
|
On the deer train at the World of Country Life once again |
|
The deer became quite aggressive and a little too close for Ptolemy's liking |
|
Waiting for the bird to come back during the falconry show (it disappeared for 15 mins!) |
|
Zachary lost his first tooth! |
|
He found this under his pillow the next morning |

We never found his tooth - perhaps he swallowed it in his sleep? |
