It's been a lovely weekend, we were both off of work on Friday and enjoyed an impromptu day together. We took Boo out and had a wander up and down the sea front (with the camera of course) and made the most of the nice weather before having a quiet evening in front of the box, making our way slowly through the One Foot in The Grave box set.
Dan saw his boys on Saturday which meant an early start, but he had a wonderful afternoon and I had a good read in the car. The journey to and from Barnsley was quite quick and as always us nattering away passed the time wonderfully. Dan's ex was polite and pleasant which is a fantastic development and we can only but hope that this is the start to a new chapter in the interactions between them, after all the boys don't need to see their parents at each others throats. I'll keep everything crossed that this is the shape of things to come!
After a long day we were planning a lovely, long, big fat lie in, but we were so shattered we were in bed before midnight and I was up and awake by 10am! Unheard of for me! As Dan had joked his way to getting another addition to the retro gaming collection we had a leisurely breakfast and then made our way to a local village, Martham to collect an original Playstation.
On our way we passed through Ormesby St.Michael, a small village a few miles away which sits on Rollesby Broad, after spotting how picturesque is was we decided to stop on the way back. The various wild fowl were happy to pose, and I got many pictures of Swans, Geese and Ducks - although they were probably disappointed that we didn't offer any bread in payment!
As the broad was next to a Garden Centre we popped in there for a browse and Hague was tempted by the aroma from the cafe, so we stopped there and he had a lovely lunch....with no less than 8 veg, that's some going, and probably more than he'd have in a whole week lol!
The FA Cup match this afternoon shall be glossed over as the only downer of such a lovely weekend, and as I type I have an evening to look forward to of a nice, hot soak in the bath and a film to wind down to. There is something so simple and satisfying about letting the day take you wherever it may - and I think we might just take the car out and explore the local villages a bit more often, especially now Spring is around the corner, and who knows what we might find??
