This morning The Mister coaxed me out of bed with a cup of tea and we decided to go over to The Waffle House in St Albans for breakfast. I had the most fantastic spiced fruit an banana waffle which tasted of cinnamon and was crispy and delicious and finished off with organic yoghurt. It was just divine and of course I had a couple of cups of decent coffee to go with it. The Mister had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on a waffle. Fabulous. I can't believe I had never been to The Waffle House before. You would think I have lived around here long enough to find all the exciting food places! After indulging somewhat we went to the St Albans Verulamium park. It was lovely, but unbelievably cold and I decided I really should have put a pair tights underneath my jeans. It wasn't just cold, but it also was damp which made it feel almost cold to your bones. The lake was almost totally frozen except for a little bit in the middle where all the geese and ducks were congregating to have a little swim. So, we followed the path around the park, passed the Roman ruins and up into St Albans, briefly stopping at a charity shop which had a half price book sale. It was very successful as I managed to purchase three Alexander McCall-Smith 'Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency' books (about 75p each) and two books on making your own cross stitch samplers (£1.25 each). It was a lovely walk and I enjoyed being out and about. It has been quite strange to be back on my own again this week as I spent nearly two weeks with The Mister, only leaving him at his parents on Saturday last week as I had to get home to prepare for work. It makes me realise how much I miss him and how nice it is when we are back together again. I was ridiculously excited to see him yesterday and we have had a fun day today. Hurrah!
