Our Bridlington Holiday

Despite the weather, we had a wonderful time on our recent mini holiday to Bridlington! Me and Lewis and Kath set off to a beautiful cottage (barn conversion) in Sewerby, near Bridlington, on the East Yorkshire coast. Our cottage was wonderful, fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, very pretty and tasteful, and very warm, considering it was really really cold outside! On Monday we went into Bridlington town centre for a wander around, and to walk along the seafront. It was soooo cold and really windy and the sea was very choppy! On Tuesday we had our first visit to Sewerby Hall which is a beautiful stately home with the most amazing gardens and even a childrens zoo! We had a great day and it was only £4 to get in, and free for Lewis (children under 5 free!). Lewis enjoyed coming up close with the peacock in the 'walk through' aviary!
At 3pm its feeding time for the penguins! We braved the rain for that!
The penguins knew it was just minutes to 3pm and were waiting at the gate to be fed!
On Wednesday we went for a scenic drive as the weather was too poor to risk walking far. And on Thursday we took a trip to Bridlington Old Town where we had lunch in a lovely bistro calle Ellie May's (I think thats what it was called!).
On Friday, James came across and we took him back to Sewerby Hall as it was such a great day out!
James enjoying the facilities at the Childrens Zoo ...!
In the Childrens Zoo we found a pigeon 'loft' and we had great fun buying bags of pigeon corn for 20p to feed them!
Inside Sewerby Hall there are lots of really interesting displays ...
And some of the rooms are set aside for local artists to display their work.
These striking pieces are made up of rubbish that has been collected from the beach at Bridlington. We wondered where the artist stored all his different coloured pieces of rubbish before he put them all together to create his works of art!

This sign made Kath and I laugh as our trip to Bridlington was definitely breeze and bracing!

Aaah, looks like you had a lovely holiday and break away. Hope Lew is doing better now? Pretty amazing to wake up to a WHITE Easter this morning! We all loved playing in it! Hope we get to see you soon. Take care and love to you all.

The Lewis Jeynes Fund

The Lewis Jeynes Fund was established to provide care and support to Lewis Jeynes and the success of the Fund has meant that we have also been able to purchase specialist equipment for other children with undiagnosed neurologically degenerative conditions in Doncaster and the UK.

Lewis and his friends around the UK all suffer from acute and undiagnosed life limiting or terminal conditions and very often specialist equipment is difficult to afford due to the changed circumstances at home. This is where the Fund can provide vital assistance to those in need. All of the proceeds of the Fund go straight towards helping Lewis, and other children and families like him and us.

Contributions should be sent to The Lewis Jeynes Fund, 15 Kentmere Drive, Doncaster, DN4 5FL or by BACS to Nat West Bank, “The Lewis Jeynes Fund” Account No. 35662565 Sort Code 60 06 39. You can also go into your local Nat West Bank and pay into the Fund over the counter.

i love you much (most beautiful darling) by e.e.cummings

i love you much (most beautiful darling), more than anyone on the earth and i like you better than everything in the sky -sunlight and singing welcome your coming although winter may be everywhere with such a silence and such a darkness, no one can quite begin to guess (except my life) the true time of year - and if what calls itself a world should have the luck to hear such singing (or glimpse such sunlight as will leap higher than high through gayer than gayest someone's heart at your each nearness) everyone certainly would (my most beautiful darling) believe in nothing but love
