On Thursday the kids and I had the car so off we set on another adventure. This time we headed to Quarry Bank Mill and Styal Estate which is an 18th century working cotton mill. Very fascinating to see the mill in action. The gardens are extensive and the kids were given tracker packs with binoculars, compasses and magnifying glasses which they enjoyed as you can see. Corey was so well behaved...phew. We even had a civilized lunch at the café. Yay!!! They had kids lunch boxes which was awesome. It is so brilliant when these places cater for the kids.

Some things I don't like so far...
:-( Trying to book accommodation for a family of 5. Most places cater just for 4. I think this is the case worldwide though. Guess we will be camping in Edinburgh and London.
:-( The roads here are crap...so many pot holes and bumps and the lines desperately need repainting everywhere that it is sooo confusing.

Have I mentioned that Air New Zealand was terrible. The stewards were rude, no manners and were not understanding at all. I was quite disgusted with their service. I will be emailing them don't you worry.

Until next time...
