Southsea Castle

on July 24, 2011

Fri­day brought a break from the heavy rain that had poured down all week.

We joined the home ed group at South­sea Cas­tle for a look around.  Most of cas­tle was closed for repair so there wasn’t actu­ally much to look at.  But we played with the stocks.

And went up into the Keep, where they watched a video about the his­tory of South­sea Cas­tle and posed with Henry VIII.

We had a pic­nic and the kids played around the court­yard hap­pily until we par­ents were scared off by the evil looks we were get­ting from a mem­ber of staff and retreated to the field outside.

Then it was Gun­wharf for an ice cream and treat­ing Sam to the Gap hoodie that he has been cov­et­ing for months so he could join the ‘club’.
