A couple of hours on a Sunday, takes in the cinema and Garfield, then here, the Telford Steam Railway Museum. Then on to Ironbridge. From the archive:
This Summer's open day at the Museum
May 2003

We're a bit early for the cinema, so spent a half hour at the Telford Sunday car boot sale and market. I like to buy cheap batteries there, and sticky tape, this makes me happy. While the kids like to look at the spreads of toys, though I always say something like, "too big, we've got no room. " Or, "nah, it's junk." This doesn't make me popular with the kids nor the vendors.

So, I buy the kids some magnifying glasses, and Bradley a little battery hand fan, which come with two suspiciously branded batteries, soon enough they run out. But the magnifying glasses, ah, these cause hours of fun.

Looking at the path's gravel, close up.

So, I'm going to have to swap over to these penguins. For sure they'll be there for decades, which is my desire.

Bradley counts the elephants.

Moa birds would stand up to 3 meters tall. They became extinct when the Polynesians landed on the islands of New Zealand 1,000 years ago.
