Today I came back from my Nan’s house where I have been staying for the past 4 days; after going to a wedding.
On Sunday we went to an ice cream farm which is around 10 miles from my Nan’s home in Winsford, Cheshire. I had a cone of ‘Mal Tease’ flavour which is their own version of Maltesers. My sister had Banoffe flavour but in the end we went home with a tub of strawberry and cream flavour ice cream, it was delicious!
On Monday we went to Ellesmere Port boat museum it was a fantastic day out and here are some photographs I took with my phone.

On Tuesday we went to Jodrell Bank, the site of the Lovell radio telescope unfortunately I was unable to take photographs of the telescope as all phones on site should be turned off. Sorry!
