I used to love Chessie around 2011, but sadly it was indeed dreadful last year. Going to Legoland, which can sometimes feel like a mistake for geeks our age, improved the day. There lay the issue with South as the Merlin park only meet it was; one park was always rubbish, and you either needed to drive or arrange for someone who could to ferry you about, as you didn't know which one it'd be this time until you went. I'm looking forward to trying somewhere different this year, especially with the new Vekomas to justify the distance to Paultons. Can we find a Nando's again to repeat last year's Beaconsfield Nando's sosche?
