Freeport family trip

Charlie was waiting for me this morning and got on my small leather chair, making him seem even bigger than he actually is!
I went into the church with Tina to be second person on site while she caught up with some paperwork in there. Took a couple of pictures of the same window at different times, amazing how the light outside alters what you see.

The family arrived later in the morning and after a tour of the garden we went to Hornsea Freeport.
We went into lots of shops and bought quite a lot as well, then we all had a very nice lunch. Had to wait a while as it was very busy, but we were ready for a rest and weren't in a hurry. Darren headed off home as Tina needed him as second person at a wedding rehearsal. The rest of us went into Bugtopia. Butterflies , a few birds and stick insects. It was a cold day so the insects weren't too active, but it was fun trying to spot the stick insects.

I asked Isobel if I could take a picture of her by this sculpture!
Not many butterflies about and I couldn't get very close, but got a couple of reasonable shots.

A couple with budgies, the second one they were on Louis's arm.

Then to the play area, Anya went in with Isobel and then I was talked into partaking!
Then fairly pleased to be out again!
We came back here for a bit and then all went out for fish and chips, very nice it was too.
Back here for mince pies, cake or shortbread, and then the family set off back to their holiday home.

    That’s a lovely window. It’s amazing the difference the light makes to it. Don’t think I’d ever get bored of taking pics in and of churches.
    They must love you at Freeport. Not only do you buy stuff every time you go, but you take others with you so they can spend too! Bugtopia looks like a nice place too. Not so sure it’d be wanting to crawl through the adventure playground, but you do like a challenge!
    The pic in the fish and chip shop makes it look like Tina has a ghostly hand! I like the sound of the mince pies, cake and shortbread. Talking of cake, I’m down to about a quarter now :-(

    Hadn't noticed that had, very spooky! I never tire of churches either, so many different buildings.
    The bug place is quite small but very nice, the do senior discounts in term time weeks, so will probably visit again.
    The cake hasn't lasted too badly!
