today i went on another all day adventure. phew. i got up early with my dad at 6am. mom made me some breakfast time. i woke up dana bunny and gdad so they could get ready for the day. everyone scurried around the house. dad went to work. i went to the train station with mom, dana and gdad. today's train stopped right outside my window so we didn't have far to walk. we took the train to salisbury.
i like riding the train. i sat in my seat and just looked out the window. i watched the countryside go by. there were a lot of pheasants out today and deer. i saw deer. when i wasn't looking out the window i was asking mom to take me to the potty. i must have peed like 10times during the trip. i really just wanted to flush and push buttons for water and soap.
got to salisbury and mom marched us through town. we saw a couple old buildings and big churches. we picked up some snacks in a bakery. i got to pee in the kids library because- i had to pee again. i saw some ducks and swans in the river. after some general confusion we finally found the bus stop which is really what we were after. dana bought some bus tickets and we got on this big red bus. i wanted to ride on the top deck so we went upstairs. there were already some people sitting in the front seats so mom took me all the way to the back, that was just one giant seat. that was pretty cool.
i watched out the window while the bus took us through town and into the countryside. a recorded man came over the loudspeaker and said a bunch of stuff about this is this and that is that. i asked mom where we were going and she said- to see a bunch of stones in a field. the bus finally stopped and what did we see? a bunch of stones in a field. um, ok. 100's of people were milling about looking at stones. i wanted to go touch the stones but mom wouldn't let me.
i walked around in the field with mom, dana and gdad looking at stones. mom took a million pictures. i guess these are important stones.
after we were done looking at rocks we went to the gift shop. dana and gdad looked around for things to buy. mom found a sample tray and i got to taste lemon curd and elderberry chutney. both were tasty. we got out of the shop just in time to catch the bus back to town, whoo-hoo. on the bus ride back mom fed me peanut butter samiches. awesome!
back in town we found a little park to eat snacks in. the big people had their bakery treats and i got crackers. there was a little playground and i got to run around with some local kids for a bit before we went off on our next adventure.
we walked through town and visited an old church. it was only small so we didn't stay long. there was some kind of important painting to look at. i just sat on a bench and sang songs to myself.
after some more walking we ended up at a huge church- salisbury cathedral. it's got a big pointy tower and loads of little stone men on the front. we went inside to look around. some lad came over and asked mom if we wanted a free tour. mom said: sure, why not. so we ended up following this lady around the building for like 2hrs while she went: this is this and that is that. blah blah blah. the coolest part of the talk was when she showed us this clock from like the 1400's. i tried to touch it. i climbed under the ropes and was going for it before mom snagged me and dragged me back. no touching the old stuff. humph.
at the end of the tour mom made me look at this grey piece of paper locked in a case full of weird scribbles. she said it was some kind of important historical document, magma caters. whatever. we just had a quick look. mom took me outside to run around the cloisters while everyone else. finished the tour.
