Complete with choccie?

Very small chocolate muffuns. I need Mum to lose weight as she's just getting too heavy for me to manage. That means not much choc for me either. Mind you, that's good as she's only one and a half stone heavier. It's just that I can look after myself, no one has to pull me up.

I could just eat a chocolate muffin.

 

Yes Nina. It was quite informative.

 

Then we went to the Trafford Centre and sorted a suit and shirt for Steph's wedding.

 

Not a bad day.

 

The motorway was bad on the way home with rain and spray.

I haven't yet and I'm about to cook dinner so, I wont yet. I hate the spray on the roads, that makes driving so difficult.

Bed. I seem to get distracted everytime I set off to go to bed. Dave didn't happen to be sitting by his pc this time.

Goodnight. I've just spent ten minutes trying to get a hair elastic out of Hayley's hair without pulling out too many strands. Managed it too.

They are a pest for that. My Mum can do that with hair rollers too.

Chewing gum in hair is worse (memories of battling to remove it from my daughter's hair)

I should be working in the garden.

I'm waiting to wash my father-in-law.

 

Did you have a good holiday, BT?

It's was a break in the quiet of beautiful countryside so that's always uplifting.

 

The weather was dreadful for the most part but Friday was beautiful and we seized the opportunity to walk all round the Lake and ha,d luch and dinner in favourite little places.

 

It's sunny here today but now the clouds are rolling in. I don' think I'll be doing much today. I guess I'll have to wait to see how it is after I come back from my lunch club this afternoon.

To be hoped you didn't walk round Windermere ! Miles and miles and miles!

I must try to get to the Lake district, it looks lovely, we have been most other places, we had the week in Somerset at Whitson, and visited Cheddar Gorge and Wookie hole, plus Longleat, which we had wanted to do for a while. Wookie hole did scare me though, - its huge..plus standng in a low cavern being told it took 2o minutes to fill up when it rained heavily- during that rain we had down there at the time! a boo to Edgar Alan Poe though, who had all the stalagtites taken to make his grotto !!

I'm not keen on caves at all. I went to that one near you. the one near Sir Francis Dashwood's (?) stately pile. It was a few years ago - something to do with The Hellfire Club, I think. I like to be able to see the sky.

Good to see you back BT :)

 

I should be hoovering and the dogs need to go out

I love the lakes. It makes me nervous driving up Hard Nose pass though.

It's nice to be back. You know, they didn't have any rain for weeks before I thoughtfully brought it down for them. The lake was at its lowest ever and all the little streamlets had dried up. There'll be a new plaque.

our hellfire caves are tiny and quite boring,compared with Wookie hole, and cheddar caves, we always seem to end up in a cave LOL..devon, wales..dont know why, as I get half way through them and always get this terrible feeling I need to run like a mad thing to get out, we went to one in France last year, expecting a group leader, only to be told to put on helmets and follow the lights when they went on and off along the route on our own..that was very scarely, especially as youngest daughter got scared half way through and wanted to go back..and we were alone and the lights had gone off behind us!

 

they'd have to drag me screaming into that one.

I think the screaming came later.

Glad you had a good break even if the weather was terrible BT
