We started the day with Mum trying to find a big enough bowl for her cereal.
We then drove to Chester Zoo. There were lots of baby animals.
There was a giant animatronic bug exhibit.
On the way back we stopped at Flint Castle.
Once we got back to caravan park we had dinner and looked around.

We left at 9am and drove to Harlech Castle. We had to drive over a small rickety bridge and we got stuck in traffic as a small town was having a sports festival and it was blocking the road.
We then started to drive to the caravan park but the sat nav decided to stop working. We had to use my iPhone for directions and find somewhere to stop so we could find something to plug it into the cigarette lighter so my battery didn’t die. When we got there we checked in and went for dinner.

Here are a few layouts I’ve made from sketches over the last few months and not shared.

Echo Park Photo Freedom – I thought I’d try a layout just using the Photofreedom range. I love it

I have only been back since 3pm yesterday but I have already managed to upload the 1600 pictures we took – deleting the blurry and odd pictures, they are all tagged with people and places. I have rated the 164 that I want to scrapbook.
I even managed to get the last two weeks of Project Life up to date.
I’ll share some of my pictures over the next few days after I’ve done all the laundry.

I went to university at the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham. I haven’t been back since I graduated 8 years ago until last Saturday.
I caught an early train or two to Cheltenham Spa. It was like I have never been away.
I googled the directions to the university but I managed to get there ten minutes earlier than it suggested it would take since I know the short cuts.
This is the refectory where I ate – I was really partial to their cheese and bacon Panini's with curly fries.
This was the dorm I stayed in my first year – Cooke Villa Room 101
And this is where I had most of my lectures.
After reminiscing I walked into town, using my remembered short cuts.
Some random sights.
I walked through the Regents Arcade and found Auntie Anne’s. I love their pretzels and so did my family when they came to visit.
It was 24 degrees – which is boiling in the UK.
Then I went to the Everyman Theatre – I saw Emma and Godspell here while I was at Uni.
And before you say I know I have a problem but I saw Save the Last Dance For Me again (I also have tickets to see it in Blackpool in ten days).
I sent one of the cast a tweet and they responded.
I had a great day. It was nice to go back.
Shanna.
