31/OCT/2010 part two.

This is the where I went today, it's called: Bowes Museum.
It's known for a mechanised swan (below)

This is a swan that is controlled by three clockwork mechanisms, the swan head, which made from thousands of pieces of metal, moves around and eats a fish from the water of rotating glass rods, while playing one of it's eight original songs. The cycle takes 33.5 seconds.
It's pretty beautiful

Today I went to a lovely stately home with my parents, my Dad and I bought these. 
It was a very nice day.
I was fairly excited about carving my mini pumpkin, it didn't turn out too well though..
This is the mess I made of my pumpkin, he's called Jerry.
I put holes in the back to that when there's a candle inside and it's facing the window it looks sweet... Shame that the back is the best angle.
