beth1 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Well I had a busy day on Sunday, we went to Keswick the lake district. We it was busy with lots of people, quite a few dogs around. And I kept triping over dogs, yes I mean dogs not people. Apart from that its been a quiet weekend. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hello all, arrived back from Barbados on Saturday 7:30am (british time) after an 8 hour flight!. We had a fantastic time, really chilled out, I didn't think of work or study for a whole 10 days. The resort did have internet access and I was momentarily tempted to log onto FSC but resisted with a Banana Zakery ( Rum, Banana shake ) Weather was actually overcast and rain for most of the time, but this didn't stop the suntan ( even with factor 50) or me dancing in the rain at the beach parties.!! The last two days the skies cleared and the sun was scorching. Enjoyed a 4 X 4 tour of the Island, swimming with turtles, reef fishing, snorkeling and partying. I've had my hair braided with beads which I hope to keep in until I return to work on the 16th. A very luxurious yaught anchored just by the beach, we think it may belong to raoyal family as Prince Harry was visiting the Island whilst we were there. (see pic) Hubby enjoyed a day out on a charter boat and caught Dorado and Wahi Wahi fish ( excuse spelling) 19 fish in total. Jetlag has taken it's toll since arriving back, or maybe it's the continued holiday mode at our local pub. Easter Egg hunt with grandson who was also really excited with his holiday present, a small bag filled with Barbados coins. Weather grea here in Kent. We had our back garden done whilst we were away and came back to a totally non-gardener friendly beautiful slabs which cover the whole area. All I need to do now is set up the trampoline again. Now all I need to do is catch up with 10 days of missed posts. , start my degree work, and get ready for the new term. Peggy Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 We've been choosing wedding invitations today - and amazingly haven't disagreed once! My mum is excited as she has been single for over 9 years, and has her first boyfriend since my dad died - so she now has someone to take to the wedding!

Guest Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Ahhh... Tuesday morning, husband back to work, son and guest still sleeping!!! The long week end over & done with but what a long week end it has been, we are all worn out! We manged to do all we had planned, the jet sking was great fun but really cold ( like you could see your breath!!!), meal at my out laws was going well untill my 13 year old son was being very rude in front of his mate and created one of those moments when you wish the ground would open up and you could just disapear. The chinese was great ten of us went, loads of grub and drink and lots of laughs even when..... the waiter quite a sweet guy came to the table to shread the duck ( which i am pleased to say i do not eat at all) and dribbled on to the edge of the plate the whole table had seen this and as we all had been on the chinese beer all of us just laughed & laughed untill we all had tears rolling down our faces. Needless to say the duck did not get eaten. But who would belive that a table of ten people could just roll about laughing and not one of us was in a fit state to return the food!! Still it was a all you can eat resturant so we moved on to the mains quite quickly!! Yesterday my family came over lots of little ones playing in the garden looking for the easter eggs, a great family get together to finish off the week end well!! Back to paper work now Hope you all had fun !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
