The First of a Few Posts
I just can't get myself into gear at the moment and I feel I have a lot of catching up to do. SO I am going to start here with a post about my week break in England. Back to the place where I was born and raised for 18 years, before I made my great escape to the big smoke!
After a three hour flight delay, which I suppose isn't too bad, but enough for me as my flight was less than an hour it was a big pain. But we got there safe and sound and I was able to get some of the rest I needed. It was great to be able to have afternoon naps, knowing that Emily was being looked after.
We still managed to fit in a good few things. Including a trip to the Black Country Museum, I think I must've been about 10 the last time I was there. It was great, like going back in history. I actually felt like I was intruding into peoples homes because everyone was in costume and taking their roles quite seriously! Emily had great fun playing with the old fashioned toys in the street and we even took a canal boat ride through the limestone tunnels and into the mines.
I think she liked the tram ride best though, as simple as it was. I suppose its a real novelty getting transport other than the car. We queued for ages for traditional fish and chips and let me tell you they were YUM! I would recommend visiting the museum for anyone passing through the Midlands, it was a great day.
The rest of the week we pottered about, relaxed and played games in the house. We managed to fit in a good car boot sale and a jaunt around a good few charity shops. So yes I did come back with more things - an extra bag in fact! But I will be posting about these separately as I hardly have the energy to do them all at once.
By brother and his family drove down to visit us to, much to Emily's delight. She just loves playing with Ciara and Sam and it was so cute seeing them snuggled up on the hammock together, both sucking their thumbs!
Well its not the best or most informative post I've done but its a start and one post crossed off the list of many things I have to talk about at the moment. I'll be back once I have built up my next burst of energy. x
