What a great Family holiday! No sun tan, but we’ve all had lots of fun. Back in cloudy Royston now 
, all unpacked, the first load of washing on already and have done the weekly Tesco trip. Trace didn’t come as she didn’t have any ID to hand!
Here’s where we visited when we were in Dorset (click for larger view)…
Time to leave, so up very early (that’s 6.30 for those who think Jonny means 9am). All cleaned, fed, packed and tidied by 8.45! It’s bye bye Tanglewood…
“How come I’m shoved in the back here with all this gubbins” asks Baby Aimee. “Thanks for a lovely holiday though. Bye bye Dorset!”
Well, for you really Jemma. Here’s the insides of Tanglewood Barn (taken in the morning, at breakfast)…
The kitchen/diner as viewed from the front door…
A closer view of the kitchen (Aimee’s just had her porridge by the way, which is why she’s beaming?!)…
The living room…with some toys…
The main bedroom (above the living room) complete with travel cot for Baby Aimee Rose…
The main bedroom again (are you bored yet Jemma?)…
The en-suite bathroom, with nice towels - you can see the door to it in the bottom left of the main bedroom photo above….
The main bathroom, with more nice towels…
And finally the other bedroom, above the dining table, which was used as Aimee’s changing room!…
After the fun of Povington Hill Family Large headed a few miles west to the beauty spot called Lulworth Cove. Here it is in it’s panoramic glory. Click to be taken to a larger view…

Day 6 and the best weather so far. Typical - it’s our last day! So, we drove up to a viewpoint at the top of Povington Hill. 200m above seal level, it’s stuck bang in the middle of the MOD’s Lulworth Ranges.
The ranges are used by the Army’s AFV Gunnery School and are used for, amongst other things, live firing exercises. You can only get up there on particular days, and you have to stick to the roads…it’s all very exciting!…
We parked up and mummy gave Aimee her lunch. It was too windy to sit at the picnic tables…
Here’s one view of the range…
…and after lunch, time to give Aimee a good view…

For the views to the south and much more click on the image below…
As promised here’s some more cute swans and birds. First up though, here’s Aimee with her new cuddly cygnet…
So here’s the rest…click photo for more (you might need to click “view this album on Flickr” to see the rest)…
It was £7 for an adult but, do you know, it was ace. We spent a couple of hours there, and Jonny got some cracking photos…
Funny start thought. Nice welcoming sign, next to a World War II anti-ship mine - nice touch…
It’s spring, so it’s cygnet time. These had just hatched (we think?)….
Aimee about to take out a swan…
Close up to a mute swan…
Bless this little thing…
How about this for a ferry service…
More swan pictures soon…!
Whilst someone has their morning sleep…
…look at her fat chubby arms…
Trace cracks on with some Sight Training on the Nintendo DS…
…and she doesn’t really need to improve her score…
