~*~ Fun Weekend ~*~
Who would have thought that I celebrate NSD by NOT scrapping?? Nah, me neither....
Seeing that I will be away for a week on another {transatlantic crossing} this coming Friday, and then only a month later I leave for a week in {hamburg} - so when Lyndon told me that on the 3rd of May there would be a {beer festival} at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, how could I say "well Sweetie that's really great but I am staying home and scrap..."
Uhm, yeah that would have gone down a TREAT, seeing this is what I do each weekend anyway.
And then there was the weather forecast, predicting only nice weather for Saturday and rain for Sunday and Monday - so, no choice really.
You know what? This turned out the be one of the best days out we had in a long time! The weather was wonderful (we even got sunburnt, even though the sun wasn't really strong) and we had such a blast. I had some real ale, which I actually enjoyed and we walked on trails we never walked before. I also got to see the Steam Railway for the first time and our day ended with homemade pizza...yum!
As we left at 11:00hrs we were already back before 21:00hrs, which meant I was even able to catch up a bit on NSD (and when Lyndon found out about NSD he basically told me off "why didn't you tell me, we would have stayed at home so you could have had all day to celebrate" - isn't he the sweetest?? But seriously, I wouldn't have enjoyed my day as much had I stayed at home. But now i am knackered from all that walking - the way back from the Railway to our house took us over three solid hours of walking....but we made some friends a
long the way
ahhh - he is the best!!! Hewy- and a beer festival- that is cool ;-) Have a wonderful trip!!!
