A wonderful view
We went to Nibley Knoll today with our friends Milly, Tom and Mortimer (I've known Milly and Mortimer since I was a baby!). In the woods we saw lots of big trees that had fallen down onto the path in the winter storms. I climbed over the massive tree trunks, and fell off one! We explored the Iron Age Hill Fort and found lots of fossil shells in the limestone. We had a picnic at the foot of the tower (Tyndale monument) and climbed up the spiral staircase to the top - there were 121 steps. The view was amazing - you could see for miles - and we could see both of the Severn bridges. It was a hot, sunny day and the sky was clear blue. We saw two buzzards circling overhead. On the way back we played on a tyre swing hanging from a tree in the woods. It's been another amazing day.

That sounds like an amazing day out. I remember climbing the tower ( before I became Bionic Grannyy and the view was spectacular.
