Alton Towers-half term break

We all had a fantastic (but very cold) day at Alton Towers. I'm afraid Jodie takes after me and is terrified of the 'big' rides, but she did go on 'Air' which was very brave!
Mum stayed back at the bungalow we were renting and dog and budgie sat and horror of horrors had a visit from the bailiffs!! It would seem the owners of the house hadn't been paying their council tax!! Poor Mum was in shock when we got back, they hadn't taken anything, but it wasn't an enjoyable experience.
