Roundheads and Royalists at Battle

We were blasted with loud cannon and musket fire at last Saturdays re-enactment by The English Civil War Society. Quite a spectacular display by around a thousand people and twenty horses. There was also an encampment of families well informed and willing to talk to us about life in 17th Century Britain.

We had a much quieter day on Sunday with friends in the wonderful Quantock Hills in Somerset enjoying a picnic in the sun and a walk to the highest point at Will's Neck.

 We picked and ate Bilberries and could see for miles across the Bristol estuary to the Welsh mountains, amazing! must go again.
