We
were at Revolution
House plotting against the king for last week's Sunday Snap. I
asked which King and Queen came to the throne after the Glorious
Revolution and the answer is
William
III (William of Orange) and Mary II
We're
off to Windsor for this week's Sunday Snap but not to visit the Queen
this time. Between 1969 and 1992 this site was home to Windsor Safari
Park. The company running the park ran into financial difficulties
and the park was closed with the land being sold to a Danish toy
company. Four years later the new theme park opened to the public. It
was based on an existing park in Billund, Denmark. Situated on the
side of a hill the only thing that remains from the old safari park
is the funicular railway known as the Hill Train. The above
photograph was taken in the Miniland section of the park. This
is a miniature village featuring towns and cities across the world. In
this section alone over 40 million plastic bricks are used to make
the exhibits. Such is the popularity of the park that with over 2
million visitors a year it is the most visited theme park in the UK.
This week's question is
What
is the name of the theme park?
We
were joined last week by Susan
with face painting and sunsets. Kara has been at swimming
lessons and seeing the new
born lambs. It's been carnival time in Dunkirk for Cheryl.
All the family were getting involved with the jigsaw at Anne's.
In Belgium Sofie
has been capturing sunsets and signs of spring. Dressing up and
getting fabulous was Laura.
Finally, Lisa
has been exploring the Pura Nature Reserve.
