Lenny's action-packed Welsh adventures

The great thing about having such a big extended family (so to speak) as Lenny does, is that they can take him on all sorts of adventures. For instance, Jean's son took him climbing up Snowdon in August:



And back in June, he went kayaking in Anglesey with Pete:



He's a busy li'l fellow, that Lenny!

Remembering sunny Egypt

As the days grow shorter and shorter - in fact, today's the Autumn Equinox, when day and night are equally long - we like to think back on the summer that's just gone past, and what we did then. When it comes to Lenny, his summer holidays were spent in far sunnier climes than ol' Blighty. He went to Egypt with Jean, and he came back a slightly darker shade of blue from all that swimming in the sun!

Lenny and the Chocolate Factory

Lenny was so excited when he found out Jean was taking him to Birmingham. He thought they were going to go shopping at the Bullring, so imagine the look on his face when he found out that they were in fact going to a chocolate factory - Cadbury's World!

Lenny goes to Cornwall for the April holidays

Lenny went to the north coast of Cornwall for a few days with Jean after Easter to stay at Doyden House, near Port Isaac.

This was the view from his bedroom of Doyden Castle:

He went to Boscastle to see how the tiny village and harbour had been re-built following the tragic floods in August of 2004.

As you well know, Lenny loves swimming and here he is at the water’s edge at Trebarwith Strand. He was a little bit frightened by the waves though!

He then visited Padstow to see the boats in the harbour (he thought he might get to swim there as well!).

Instead he went for a cup of tea to the famous Rick Stein’s café!

His last visit was to The Eden Project for a quieter and more tranquil day amongst the Tropical Rain Forest and the Mediterranean Biomes (the world’s largest greenhouse!).

Jean brings Lenny to Matlock Bath

Lenny spent a lovely sunny Sunday evening in Matlock Bath. Having visited the amusement arcade and lost all his money, he then wanted to cool off in the river. However, because the railings were so high I (Jean) managed to persuade him that eating freshly cooked fish and chips would be a better option. He enjoyed them immensely!
