Country Stuff

Yes, is actually quite lovely. Does go on a bit though.How much lovely can there be? Are there degrees of Loveliness? Must admit , when we were in Salisbury, was a bit more excited to see a Wagamamas than the cathedral.

Dennis

This is Dennis The Horse. He is a Morris Dancer. They are all certifiably mad as bloody hatters.

Holiday signs

Never stop finding them.....

Stonehenge Weekend

Well, Stonehenge itself was fabulous, the weather was OK, and even quite pleasant.

Much to my surprise there also is a Woodhenge. Anyone ever heard of this? No, didn't think so.

Is less than impressive, especially seeing as the wood no longer exists and has been replaced by concrete bollards representing the previous wood. Is really stupid. Not as stupid however, as the 'Mounds' Nobody actually knows what these 'mounds' are, or why they were erected. Google 'Silbury Hill' if you really need to know why the sissy baby poms feel the need to immortalize mounds of man made chalk covered in grass.

Have decided that The Country is a place to visit, but not a place to live. There are no decent restaurants for a start. We went to a place called Tandoori Nights. The chef has never been to Durban and has no idea how to make a curry. The town we stayed in..town? Did I say town?

The street we stayed in may have no cuisine but bloody hell do they have Karioke! Three bars, till 2 in the morning.

Nonetheless, let me not whinge. It was a fabulous weekend away, we ate all the cookies and laughed ourselves stupid.

houses again...never bloody ending

Houses D E F G and H ......mostly crap. But, now, House whatever the hell we are down the alphabet is FABULOUS. Oh, it is soooo wonderful. It is in Beckenham.

I got there, but actually have very little idea where it actually is, but it is not terribly far from where we live now. 108 bus, and then 54 bus. (Dude, where's my merc???)

There is the issue of traffic noise, which The Hubby hates. But, as I pointed out to him, he is old, and getting deaf, so how bad can it be? He did not seem to like this. But, is true, and we can turn the TV up.

So, apart from the noise, it is as perfect as it gets. It is a terrace...which I like to think of as a townhouse. Perspective is all.

I LOVE it. I love it more than the Dear Wee Cottage.

It has wooden floors and ...get this.. THREE bathrooms!! Ok, the third bathroom is just stupid as for some reason it is in the utility room, but we will ignore that.

FOUR bedrooms. Actually, 3 bedrooms, and a wee wee study. But the bedrooms are BIG.

No cupboards, lets not go mad here......but , indeed, actual space for cupboards.

Designer, fabulous kitchen and bathrooms, even a garage (of sorts, garages are a bit odd here, more like sheds with big front doors.)

Absolutely no work to be done, it is the best place I have seen.

Oh, did I mention...is a tad over budget?

Kak

Stonehenge 2

Have given this some thought.

Have baked. Special cookies

Hee hee.

Have sampled baking.

Lovely.

Fuck the rain...will be fine.

Cookies actually were a kid's kit and the writing is supposed to say Tom and Jerry. With a wee Tom and Jerry sticker.

Hee hee hee. How funny is that??

Stonehenge

We are going to Stonehenge for the easter weekend, upon reflection this may be a bit like going to Rome over easter, what with all the pagans and all. Never mind, The Hubby has a new camera, we can take lots of pics. Of course, the weather is crap, which to me, is a big surprise, seeing as it is actually spring. Seems not to be much of a surprise to the rest of the population.

The Gorgeous Son is coming with, so I think we will have fun even if we have to stay in the hotel if it bloody rains all weekend, or indeed, snows. It has snowed in Scotland and Ireland this week, so who knows? Personally, I think it would be quite nice if it snowed. Better than rain.
