It's been a pretty uneventful week apart from Bonfire Night on Saturday. We have missed the last 7 Bonfire Nights as we lived in Australia and Dubai so we were really looking forward to this one. The weather forecast didn't sound too good, wet and windy for the whole weekend. I'm not a fan of rain but wind and rain together...yuk!
Anyway we decided to go to the display at the local rugby club, they had a bar, food stalls and a band on. After paying on the door we made our way to the bar and we couldn't believe our eyes they were at least 10 deep, OMG! Well we got into the queue and waited and waited and waited for about 20 mins. When we were about 3 rows from the front one of the organizers shouted that they were just about to light the fireworks and the bar would be closing until after the display had finished. I was gobsmacked...all that queueing for nothing...we were not very happy bunnies. So we went outside and watched the fireworks, they were fantastic, money well spent. After the fireworks we looked around for something to eat but the queues were ridiculous, so we decided to get a pizza and go home to the X factor. I'm guessing the upshot of this story is that sometimes we remember things to be better than they actually are.
On Sunday we plucked up the courage to go into the garage and get some boxes out to sort through them, but that was as far as we got before we decided to go over the road to our local the Kings Head for a couple of cheeky ones. We have booked a table for next Saturday to sample the food there as its supposed to be really good, I will blog with the verdict next week. The boxes are here still unpacked but I'm sure we will get round to it sometime this week.
There's a new addition to our family as of 9am 7th November, a little niece for us called Ella and she is beautiful.
I thought my beadmaker was on the blink but I have discovered that it was human error that ruined 2 loaves yesterday...anyway enough about that :)
I did say it was an uneventful week :)
