Yesterday

…I came back from a weeks holiday with my sister and my Ma. I have been up ‘north’  visiting family and gadding about the north east, visiting places i haven’t been to in years and also visiting a few new places.

I had a great time just relaxing, strolling about in the sunshine and enjoying the odd beer. I told one of my colleagues that the first little place we stayed in had 4 pubs but technically it didn’t-  it has one, the other are bars in hotels. I tend to think of pubs like that because in Scotland a lot of country pubs are attached to hotels as bars and I have never thought anything of it really. I will probably tell him tomorrow.

Apart from visiting pubs I did do some cultural things like visit castles, museums and go for walks on the moors… it was all good and I wish it hadn’t finished so quickly. As usual I spent a bit too much money, but to be honest it wasn’t a huge amount in the scheme of things, after all it was my holiday and I wanted to get nice things for my Ma and sister. The fact I spent lots of money on things for me- I am going to ignore

The weather was pretty lovely for most of the week, there was only one day where it rained a lot and we didn’t let it stop us from going out and investigating! I even managed to get burnt one day which is nothing to be proud of but kind of amusing considering the weather the UK gets most of the summer- I guess I a typical brit after all- get a bit over excited when I see the sun and forget just how pale I am and how easily I burn.

I am a little disappointed that I didn’t get any drawing done but I suppose it will keep for another time. I did manage to take a lot of pictures and I am really pleased how a few of them have turned out, I might even try and put some on here if I get the opportunity. I am bit sleepy now- going to work has taken it out of me! I shall try and write more soon.
