  Hi Everyone! We went to visit a Welsh Castle! It was huuuuge! The towers were super high and vertigo-y. It was a beautiful day, so we walked around exploring all the turrets and rooms. There was old moat ditches, prison towers, stained glass, old fireplaces, a wooden throne, beautiful arches, lookout towers and even a replica stocks! It was super cool. On the map it said that the king's head was in one of the rooms and my dad, my sister and I were all expecting a skull or something, but no, it was a wire sculpture. Still cool though. The towers would have had multiple stories, but the wooden floor had rotted away. It looked super cool!!!! We took a cool pic where we could see a shadow on an opposite wall, and it looked awesome!  Write more soon, -Emily King's head! /\

  Hi Everyone, For my Mum's birthday, we went on a walk on the castle walls here in Wales and then we went out for high tea! The walk was really cool, the castle walls for so old and beautiful! We had such a good view of the town and the castle. There were some massive seagulls there too, which was half cool and half scary. The high tea was so yummy! We had little sandwiches, sausage rolls, scones (with jam, butter and clotted cream), teeny creme brulees, macarons, Victoria sponges and edible flowers! It was really nice and I think we are going to start an annual tradition of Mum's birthday high tea. Write more soon, -Emily

To a waterfall, up a biiiiiiig hill and to a cool cave! The walks here are really beautiful (very wet as well) and I loved walking through Ambleside. We even saw a few tree stumps where people have stuck coins in them! They are really stuck in there tight, too! In the water cave, we saw lots of little fishes but they swam away after a dog jumped in after them. In town there is a river (the water flows from the waterfall we went to see) and there is a tiny bridge with a small house on it! It's super cute so we went to have a look. Yesterday Ambleside had its annual lighting of the Christmas lights around town. Our apartment had the PERFECT view of it all! We watched the parade come down the street and "Santa" on the back of a truck throwing magic dust (glitter I think) which made the Christmas lights around the ...
