A Mini Arthurian Adventure

magog_83It was a sunny Saturday morning and Mini Arthur was perusing his usual pages of interest on the internet when he spotted something very exciting.
That was all Arthur needed to know.
Immediately, a plan was formulated to investigate this exciting new discovery and claim it for the Love of Camelot.
The so-called 'AA Atlas of Great Britain 2010' was the oldest map they could find in the archives.
I was duly summoned to provide transportation, since Merlin flatly refused to walk the requisite nineteen miles and threatened to delete all Arthur's internet favourites unless he got a lift.
We set off, but Arthur was a little over-excited.
After the first ten miles, I was forced to strap him into the back seat along with Merlin, so I could actually drive in peace.
Arthur gave a whole new meaning to the term 'back seat driver.'
Finally we arrived at Glastonbury Tor.
Arthur was quick to make his claim.
Merlin was not impressed by Arthur's Tower.
But the Quest was not over until the Tor had been scaled. The path took some time to find, but finally they were off.
The sooner they climbed it, the sooner Merlin could start making comments about Arthur's Inadequate Tower.
However, as it turned out, the tor was Really High.
Being 4 inches high had never seemed such a challenge
But they kept going for the Love of Camelot (and because the signs said they couldn't cut up through the grassy bits).
And eventually Arthur's Tower was in sight.
Merlin knew it wasn't really that big, it was just the angle.
For which they were both somewhat relieved.
Relief
It was time to pose for the Celebratory Photograph as proof of Camelot's new territory.
Merlin had done some reading up too, and there was no way he was staying here with Arthur for eternity.
And so ended the Arthurian Adventure :D :D

I'll stick a link in at the top to their past adventures, just in case anyone follows the link from the newsletter and wants to see more of them ;)
Thanks!
