Boxtrolls & Caves - a tale of two trips....

So Saturday morning was a bit of a washout but it didn't stop our hardy Spanish boarder from venturing out to play hockey on a dampened Upper (along with Mr. Ward). But never fear, not even the rain can stop Bath's Best Boarding House from having fun! Boxtrolls was the film of choice as Mrs. Higgins and Mr. Murphy escorted the group (with popcorn and all the trimmings) to the cinema on Saturday afternoon. Everyone enjoyed the film and they even managed to get on the bean bags near the front! The weather in the afternoon turned out to be glorious and it was just the trick as we stayed out playing football, swinging on the swing or bouncing on the trampoline until the night drew in - but the fun didn't stop there as the boarders enjoyed watching (or laughing at!) Strictly Come Dancing on the TV!

Sunday was an altogether different trip as Mrs. Briggs and Mr. Dixon drove the children to another country - but passports were not needed (only £12.80 for the bridge!) as Wales was the destination and a visit to the beautiful Clearwell Caves near Lydney. The children had a fab time and enjoyed their visit, playing on the various items that were there to showcase the iron mining industry. After a quick walk, there was time to visit the cafe and the gift shop before a swift return home for well-deserved fish and chips. And then for the surprise.....an end of weekend dip in the pool to make sure that everyone was tired out and would sleep well! We hope that the pictures below give you a little taste of the visit to Clearwell on Sunday (it was too dark to take photos in the cinema and too wet in the swimming pool!!)
