Great week..

.. really great!

A change is as good as a rest they say and that was definitely the order of the week. Col and I spent few days in Southampton area, eating, drinking , wandering about and had a fab time together. It's been a long time since we had few days away without a background worry to distract us and we promised to do the same again soon, there's so many places we've never been to so close to home and seems the best way to do stuff is to make the plan and GO! 

We went to the Submarine Museum (honestly...really interesting, and nicely not too busy on a Tuesday in term time) and later went down to Lymington, where I reckon you have to own a Helly Hensen T-shirt to even wander the streets!  We ate at the Ship Inn, our first swordfish steak of the year! (mental note: go to Trelawney Fish tomorrow and buy lots more, and tuna.. it's barbq season after all).. and I got to realise why the kids are all drinking cider!

I travelled back on the train, (well the slow boat to China in train's clothing.. 3 changes..) but it was nice to just have time to read and actually be on my own, it doesn't happen much!  Colin set off for a few days visits, quite a variety, composites, print works and an Olives company!

Jordan went off on the Sail Training week yesterday and is in Weymouth this evening, cooking the roast..hope she's having fun, says she jumped in the sea today... hope she's taking lots of photos... need to get busy with some more scarp pages as I've had rather a famine of late!

Just in case he or Deborah is reading this.. Happy Birthday for tomorrow Uncle Bill.. hope it's a fun day, with the family I guess, and that we all get together again soon...xxx
