I had to repost all of the links for the Big Bang – World Record posts, as the original posts had over 500 links and it appears WordPress 2.6 cannot support this, so it deleted all the post content.

Family tree success – Henry Hedges
I had an email when I got back from holiday that hopefully will allow my brick wall to crumble.
I have written about it on my family tree blog – My Brick Wall is crumbling.

We got up and packed this morning. I collected the car from the car park. I’m glad we weren’t up and about on Friday when people were leaving, its mad out there! There is a 10 mph speed limit and cars are supposed to give way to cycles and pedestrians – unfortunately this is reality, its a wonder there hasn’t been an accident.
After squeezing a quart into a pint pot, (well that what loading the car felt like,) I took the car back to the car park and rode back to the villa. We locked up and took the keys back to the Information Centre. I handed the keys back in at about 3 minutes to 10am, 3 minutes to spare, no problem. As I was heading back to the bikes there were still cars coming on-site, I think they would be pushing it to vacate their accommodation by 10am.

It was a dry day this morning and I was in the bird feeding hide down the road before 7am. There was a fair variety, but nothing new. I had commented to Jo a couple of days ago that some of the greater spotted woodpeckers had different markings on the head; one of the woodpeckers I saw this morning had a red top of its head. It may be than this is the opposite sex to the ones we saw earlier or maybe an immature bird. I was in the hide for just over an hour and then concluded it was time to head back for a coffee; it might be a nice bright morning, but it was still chilly.

Another lay-in this morning, well we are on holiday! It was bright with blue skies this morning, so maybe the forecast of rain all day across the country was wrong. We decided to head into the village to find a booking point and see if we could book some archery for today, however, as we were unlocking the bikes it started to drizzle. By the time we got to the village it was raining and so we agreed that there was no point in trying to book anything. It was about 11:30m by this time anyway and the kids had been on at us to go back to Forestors’ Inn, so rather than hang around we headed out there before the rain got too heavy.

Another slow morning today. At least it’s stopped raining. After people leaving on Fridays had gone and their cars were out of the way, we went went up to the Nature Centre again. We were going to sit in the centre and watch the birds a bit, but as the weather was bright and sunny, we went down to the hide again. After we had been down there a while we came back and went to Forestors’ Inn in the Country Club for lunch. Jo and I had steak and ale pie and the kids had breaded chicken and chips. The waiter we had was the same one we had in Strada last night, I joked we had found him on his day job. The atmosphere in Forestors’ Inn was very relaxed and the food and service was great. The kids had a lot of fun in the play area at Forestors’ Inn and enjoyed their food.
