After a long week, travelling over 700 miles, the weekend brought a further 400 miles as we went to see baby sister and mum for the weekend.
I must admit I could have done without the drive, however it was great to see them both.
We arrived in time for brunch, after the curse of matrix boards and the Stoke section of the M6. We have bacon and eggs then headed into the city for some shopping.
In most shops Drips and I went one way and Mum and Belle went another. The end result was I was a lot lighter in cash terms by 19:00, but I did get some very nice stuff.
We then headed for a meal in Café Rouge, which was one of the best meals ever. All four of us, liked all of our courses, and the service was great too.
We returned back to the newly decorated Castle LIRU, which looks so much bigger with the new paint and flat walls, and played a game of find the sister, due to her new slim line packaging.
Some wine, and chat, and holiday planning and it was time for bed, which was where the problems started. Belle and I managed to keep each other awake with snoring, moving and various other things that meant we shared about 5 hours sleep each.
Sunday saw a leisurely morning, roast chicken for lunch, and then the drive home (with more M6 C**P). We arrive home tired, but having had a nice weekend.
I am just please tomorrow is not Monday, Doh!
