Candy Factory

Alan and I went to vist the Candy Factory and we took a tour it was very interesting as the candy is made by hand and not automated it seems that it takes quite a few years to learn the skills. This was my favourite part the candy ws put on the spinner and depending how long he left it the colour would change. 

At the end of the tour I had to buy some of the candy and they sold special candy to stir into drinking chocolate looking forward to trying these.

Tea Factory Boulder

We went to visit a tea factory in Boulder it goes all over the world and is sold in Yeovil. My favourite part of the tour was in the peppermint room it made your eyes water and cleared your head.  They employ a lot of people but most of the process are done on conveyor belts especially the packaging.


After the tour the shop had so many tempting things so as you can see I made quite a few purchases including tea.


Celestrial Seasonings most popular tea is sleepy time.

Tyler made a Bear

On Sunday afternoon we went to the Mall to build some bears Tyler was very excited but Cody was not interested at all.

Mummy would have liked him to pick a conventional colour but Tyler had his heart set on the blue bear.

Tyler had chosen his bear and was helping fill up the stuffing machine.


Cody decided this was fun so got into the act


Tyler had chosen a heart and a special noise and it was time to put the stuffing in the bear


The bear was ready to have his bath


Mummy was busy preparing his birth certificate and Tyler had his bear's new outfit ready.


The bear was dressed his name is Fluffy Mills and he was ready to go home to live with Tyler

A fun Evening Out

As a treat for the children and Alan we all went to Chuke cheese a fun place for everyone. Tyler and Cody did not know what to go on first there were so many rides.  We all had pitza to eat then it was off to try out the rides.  Unfortunately the rain turned to snow so it cut short the evening but I think everyone had enjoyed the experience.

Cody thought Bob was cool


Tyler trying out the horse riding


the snow was getting thicker so we had to make the ride on the bus our last one of the evening.
