Bank Holiday day trip out

The weather forecast for the Bank Holiday weekend was not brilliant and we luckily chose the Saturday for our day out. We had lovely weather and enjoyed our visit to Shugborough Hall, a few photo's below reflect our lovely day out! (yes, I did manage to find "crafty" bits and pieces too which brought inevitable sighs and much rolling of eyes!)






We had a very expensive cake and pot of tea while there, taking with us a small picnic and when we returned home we ate out at the local pub before rushing home (joke) to sit through 3 hours of Eurovision Song Contest! (apparently we've got a full weeks worth of solid viewing of Britain's Got Talent to look forward to too!). We like to sit through and share with our children any particular programmes they enjoy and I'd promised our younger son I'd watch the semi finals with him, I hadn't realised it would take a whole WEEK to watch them!! Still, its a good opportunity to get my pins out and start cracking on with my knitting which has been very neglected of late.

Sunday was disappointingly pouring with rain which rather ruined plans that the local tennis club had for a charity "do" involving an afternoon of tennis tournaments followed by an evening's entertainment by a band; we didn't go in the end and have no idea if it proceeded or not.

I doubt we'll do much today, Bank Holiday Monday, other than a celebratory birthday drink with Graham, step father no.2, later this evening.
