Well I am back from Wales... I thought I might be able to get web access whilst I was there but my laptop was a bit temperamental so you get the whole lot in one looooong blog instead!! I have had a lovely weekend and I have been thoroughly looked after. I was pretty tired and I feel like I have slept really well for the first time in ages. I have also realised that I have perfected the art of sleeping through any noise a 2 1/2 year old makes in the middle of the night!!!
Saturday
after my very late night on Friday evening I was absolutely knackered driving up to Wales and had to stop for a little sleep. So instead of getting there by lunchtime I arrived at tea-time. So that was Saturday written off.
Sunday
well on Sunday it rained for England (and Wales) so we didn't really go out. I couldn't be bothered with church and I can't really remember what we did for the rest of the day, other than I barely set foot outside the house. Oh yes I do remember what we did! Mr. birdie went out and bought Guitar Hero 2. For those of you not in the know it is a ridiculous computer game and you have a plastic guitar and you have to “play” the songs that come up on the screen (it's a bit like karaoke for the guitar!) I was pretty good at it, even if I do say so myself, but as there are no photos of me I will have to leave you with the rock legends that are Mr. and Mrs. birdie!! (please don't kill me for putting these up!)
Monday
Luckily the weather was better on Monday so Mr. b, birdie, The Groover and myself went on The Brecon Mountain Railway. I was particularly amused to find that it left from Pant Station. Well The Groover wasn't quite sure about it all but he seemed to have got the idea by the end of it... so here are some pretty pictures...
Tuesday
birdie, The Groover and I took a wander into town... very chilled day :)
Wednesday
Having deposited The Groover with the grandparents birdie and I went to Monmouth for a spot of shopping. We have decided that we are officially sad cases as our shopping consisted of craft shops, charity shops and a nice cup of tea. Mind you, we did witness our future when we were in a charity shop. There were these two women who were working there and they were pretty much making up their own rules as the bosses weren;t there. Sadly I can see birdie and I in 40 years being very like them!!!
Thursday
.... and today I drove home... via Reading for a spot of shopping. Much to my horror (oh well OK then, delight) I found a Lush shop so spent 'a little' bit of money in there :) It took me hours and hours to get home as there was a big accident on one of the motorways... but thankfully I am home safe and sound and now my cat is giving me the furry cold shoulder.
So, I am assuming that we all missed me, and I shall now end this monologue with my two favorite picture of the weekend...
The coolest Groover in Wales
birdie dressed in her best (the fab pinny was a charity shop buy... for some reason someone didn't want it!)
Ps) birdie.... did I get the title right?
