A nice week off

Have had a lovely week off, even thought the weather has not been as good as the past few weeks, done quite a bit too.
* Went to Malton show - a small version of the great Yorkshire show, there was a fur and feathers pet competition, sheep dog trails, steam tractors, you know the kind of thing. Bit disappointing on the food front though.
* Went to Stratford-upon- Avon, stayed in a lovely 16th century hotel, wandered, fed the swans and went to see The Tempest at the Royal Shakespeare Company, with the bloke form star trek in it.
* Had a BBQ in the rain in Birmingham, archers jacuzzi etc. Great.
* Went for a very nice Thai meal at the Sweet Basil on the A59.
* Went to Hunmanby gap with Rum and Disco, Kelsey and Morgan, had a picnic and a lovely day, then argued over Monopoly.
* Celebrated what should have been one of my best mates wedding day with a picnic and Toffs, had a great time, and we all agreed it was a narrow escape ;)

Without rubbing it in, i am actually on hols till the 3rd sept, but I am going to do some shifts to earn some much needed dosh.
Also, big, potentially very good, life changing decisions being made this weekend - watch this space, and no, we are not having a baby!! (although Puppy discussions are more frequent :))
