SOMERSET
This weekend my course friend Sean and I took a little road trip to Taunton to visit our friend Emily, recreating the town mouse and country mouse story. After predicting a horrible traffic ridden journey we were pleasantly surprised by the lack of cars and had an enjoyable road trip (got to see stone henge at sunset!). On arrival we got a tour of Em's beautiful house, and appreciated the night sky in the countryside - not something Sean and I are used to!
On the Saturday we ventured out into Taunton town and got a cheeky Greggs for lunch, and purchased all the BBQ food. Then travelled on to a tiny village called Denton where Em generously funded way too much sugar for one days intake haha (coke float, milkshake, fudge, icecream, flake). We went to the coast, and saw Wales! (the country not the animal ;))
After many unforeseen complications (BBQ broken, outdoor lights broken, parents coming back earlier than anticipated) later that evening a group of us including Em's friends from home dined alfresco under the stars and sat round an open fire pit. I had a lovely weekend, saw shooting stars, met loads of new people (and animals) and can't wait to go back!
