Easter Treats
Monday, April 17, 2006
Easter weekend has been quite civilized. We have managed to do some of the things we had planned whilst managing to take time to chill out.
Good Friday really was our chill out day, Richard and I bummed around the house just relaxing really.
Saturday was out planned house blitz and boy have we gone the whole nine yards! We were both up at the crack and continued sorting the house until mid afternoon. Our house wasn't filthy, we just needed to give the place a decent spring clean. This was also an opportunity to get rid of loads of crap that has hoarded up (paper work etc).
Yesterday we spent out and about. Sadly the weather in Cambridgeshire wasn't as nice as it was here before we left but that didn't stop us. We started our days excursion at Anglesey Abbey. I was not too keen on the Abbey the last time we visited (about two years ago) and those feelings still remain. There is something about the house that just doesn't gel... It's a lovely house with fabulous gardens but it just doesn't feel very welcoming to me.
After a spot of lunch in the picnic area (yes we were prepared), we decided to take a drive to Wimpole Hall.
It was quite a journey as we ended up travelling through a torrential down pour. This obviously caught out one unlucky driver as his car, trailer and car which was being transported were rolled into the siding. Not doubt he was driving to fast for the conditions and lost control. Thankfully he was climbing out of the car when we passed...
It was still raining when we reached Wimpole but that was a great excuse to duck into the restaurant for a spot of afternoon tea ;)
Today (Easter Monday), I am off to my local Apple Store to get a Genius to look at my iBook and Richard is off to the gym...
Strike that! I didn't get to the Apple Store, I had to cancel... When I went to fetch my spectacles, there was a chip in the right frame. Brandy or Jerry must have knocked them off the mantle last night. Therefore I didn't get to drive (as I need my glasses) and have been stung the best part of £300 for new spectacles :(
At least I have managed to get a podcast online, even if Garage Band is misbehaving!
I cannot believe this four day weekend is nearly at an end.
Oh well, roll on May Day.
