We first drove to Honiton and had a coffee. After that we went to the market and a chemists. Next we went to Sidmouth but it was very crowded and we couldn’t park anywhere so we left for lunch. The first place we went to wasn’t open but we went to a different pub. Finally we went to Beer, we looked around and the went home through some very narrow roads like in Jersey for dinner.

Today we went to Lyme Regis. I was looking forward to seeing lots of fossils. When we arrived we went straight for the museum where we got tickets and went around the museum. At the beginning of the walk there was a guide who explained the area. As we started walking he explained how they found fossils were the cliff falls off. Then they told us what prehistoric creatures you could find and to look for symmetry.

We started to walk and there was nothing for the first few minutes. Then we started to find rocks with fossils in then the guide got the fossils out but some we found couldn’t be opened. After a long time we came to a section full of ancient squid and we found quite a few bellonites and pieces of krinoid stem. At the end they opened some fossil rocks. Then we went fossil shopping and I got a replica icthyosaur head. Finally we had dinner.

First we got to the ferry and waited for an hour then got on the ferry to Poole. On the ferry we played exploding kittens. Then I watched some TV and ate a sandwich. When we got off we drove to a pub and had lunch.

After lunch we went to Milton Abbas to visit a cemetery. While we were there we saw two deer. Then we drove to the hotel and sat around. Then we had dinner out and went to bed.

First Dad left for work after breakfast. Soon Mum and I left for town for a hair cut. We got there and I started having my hair cut then Dad turned up and he got his hair cut. After we had lunch at Bastille – I really like the tempura king prawns and the sizzling sirloin. Then we came home and I played games and had dinner.
