Weekend jaunts!

I spent over an hour yesterday writing an entertaining blog...which then crashed on me! I can't possibly remember all my little gems ...I feel I've lost an essay...so apologies if this blog is not as good as my first efforts.....just imagine how good it was, please!

Maitland Gaol.

This place obviously appealed to Chris and his interest in the macabre and serial killers. It really was a fascinating place and I can't believe it only closed in 1998...so it had an eerie feeling of some history being far too recent....we walked into cells where murderers had been only 8 years ago! It showed prison life and conditions dating right back to the mid 1800s; our guide was a jolly chap who delighted in telling tales to scare the children and us! He appologised for one cell block that he showed us which stank of beer; he said that a rather rowdy party had been staying in there the night before and they were still clearing up. ( the funny thing about this was that when Chris went to school on Monday, one of the other members of staff said she had been to a surprise venue hen night......guess where? Chris teased her although she declared it had been the other, boys group! (oh, yeah!)


We warned them not to misbehave!!
