Back Home in Somerset

We made our return to Somerset this week, flying in Monday/Tuesday on a newer carrier, Norse Atlantic Airways. It was an overall good experience, and we saved a lo of money. We had to pack light and bring our own food, and we flew into Gatwick instead of Heathrow.

For the first time, the girls took the train with us back to Somerset. First, we took the Tube from Gatwick to Paddington, and on that ride, we caught this cool view of Tower Bridge.

Then, we got on the train to Castle Cary, where Dean and Nan and Pop picked us all up.

We had a much earlier flight in, and somehow, we all adjusted a bit easier to the time change.

On our first day, Stace, Vi and I took a bike ride to East Lambrook to see a watercolor art show I'd seen advertised in the local paper. It was well worth seeing. We enjoyed a drink and a cake in the shop after.

The River Parrett

Country views are the best.

We also went to the village shop and playground on our first full day,

Later in the trip, we took a walk to Thorney Mill, and walked home through the fields. We're up on the little bridge here.

It's so good to be together again.
