Since Alex's family are in the area, on May 30th (I think it was. Hard to keep track of dates when you're in vacation mode.) we went to visit
Warwick Castle with the kids. One very cool thing was their
Trebuchet demonstration.

| 18 metres tall . . . that's about 59 feet! |
 |
They used men in these "hamster wheels" to wind it up taut. Very, very dangerous job!! Watch a real hamster on his wheel, and take a guess why. (clue: Hamsters are better at landing on their feet.)

| As you may have guessed, Cousin Sam was a bit more interested in the demonstration than was Cousin Emily. |
