Holding Page

Welcome to my blog!
I've decided to set this up to share a little bit about the walks that we do, what books I read and basically our life in general. I intend to keep adding different links and information along the way, so please come back from time to time and see what there is, and feel free to comment on anything.

Wedding Anniversary

Yesterday was our 18th wedding anniversary. After DH agreed that we weren't going to exchange gifts, he went out and bought me something anyway!


A lovely charm to add to my bracelet. 

And because I knew that he'd decided to buy something, I thought I'd have a go at making some cuff links for him, using photos of Molly and Oscar!


And, as DD was going to see her boyfriend for the night, we thought we'd have a night away too. Not in the van this time - in a pub/hotel. Foolishly we started looking for something available in the Lake District, on Friday, to find a room for Saturday. No chance! Everywhere we looked was either full up or really expensive.  I finally found a place just outside Penrith - The Strickland Arms - a pub with 2 rooms. And they had one available when DH rang them - and they take dogs! 

After making sure DD got her train to go off to Leicester for the night, we headed up the M6 to Great Strickland. 


What a lovely pub! The owners were really nice, the room was lovely, and the food was fantastic. We both went back to our room feeling very full! What more could we ask for! 

What a lovely way to end our Anniversary ...
