Today we are going to visit a castle Mum said there would be a break in the weather and we should make the most of it. When we got to the edge of the village Dad assured us that he knew which way to go. Nice one dad. When the path disappeared into the sea we had to double back.

Mums second attempt wasn’t much better. We cut through the churchyard only to find that we had to climb a wall to get out. Finaly we got to the costal path.

When we got to the castle dad found a way in through the fences. I jumped straight through a hole in wall to get inside. Dad was not impressed because he said the floor was full of broken bottles and I could cut my paw. Well lets go round the front then.

The front of the castle dropped away into the sea mum was scared in case I fell over the edge. OK mum I’ll come back. We spent a wee bit of time exploring the rest of the castle.
