Feb 29th only falls on a sunday every 28 years so the last time I experienced one I was only 19 days old. Had to make this one special then so I went on a walk with Tom Smith, Paul, Emily and a new person called Yvonne. I think she is Irish/Greek/German but couldn’t quite work out which. We walked The Strawberry Line, a disused railway from Cheddar to Yatton.

Got on the Chew Valley Explorer bus to Cheddar which took 90mins and took us through proper countryside and little quaint villages…..(wow…..Tom, look at this cool website I just found about buses……)

Lovely walk, great picnic, Yatton was a bit rough and all the boys drive their cars to the Somerfield car park to chat and wheel spin. Haven’t they heard of car sharing?

We thought Yatton had it’s own language when we saw this bus information:

Actually I still think Yatton has it’s own language. Apparently Top Scaur means ‘from the bus stop on the opposite site of the road and up about a mile to the T junction’. Silly us thought it meant ‘from the bus stop opposite this one’. Which is why we waited there an hour and missed the bus a couple of times.

Fun. Couldn’t have done all that when I was 19 days old. Mum – what was I doing?

We have to make this day special as it only comes round ever 4 years….

I am going on a walk (hence posting before 8am again, on a sunday…) on The Stawberry Line, a walk from Cheddar to Yatton of about 10 miles. I am taking a picnic bacon sandwiches, brazil nuts and a flask of coffee and I am going to Cheddar on a bus which takes 90mins for a journey that can be no longer than 20 miles.
