Hi there my beauties. I'm back! Well I was back Monday night but i was hidden under a pile of ironing, homework that wasn't done when the kids were with daddy !!!! ( grrrr saying nothing) and revision for both of them for ones gcse's and the other one has SATS ! So to catch up - The weekend was fabulous, he thoroughly enjoyed it , we stayed in a beautiful farm house in the Lake District and were spoiled rotten. We set off early and stopped for coffee en route then lunch we grabbed from a services marks and Spencer's - Sandwich each,reduced fat crisps, small pack of sushi, pear each, and half a Milky Way each.
After 6 hrs driving we were ready to drop into a deep sofa in front of the fire and enjoy a cream tea, and to his surprise that's exactly what I'd arranged - he was quite choked .
That evening we were recommended the local pub for dinner, I have to say sadly there was not one single choice on there that I could have stuck to plan with . So I had scampi and chips which I've not had for about a year I'd say. It was not only a gigantic portion but absolutely gorgeous.
Eventually we rolled like two barrels into bed and had the best sleep in ages.
Woke up Sunday to farm animals bleating and birds singing , and the smell of bacon cooking.
Cereal , toast and a full English later we rolled on further into the weekend feeling very guilty for indulging. We started driving back down stopping at the many Lake District towns on the way. Any excuse for another coffee.
I'd arranged a boat trip of the lakes which was lovely and luckily the weather was on our side. We stopped for late lunch in windermere and had a traditional hand made Italian thin pizza which was the best I've ever tasted - that's it I'm moving to windermere.
Heading home we decided not to stop mid way at another hotel, but to carry on home and then go out for the day from there on Monday . Still bloated from the previous 24 hrs we reached home, snuggled on the sofa,watched a film and loosened our waistbands lol.
Monday morning we got up, missed breakfast and jumped on the motorbike heading for London. We stopped in Chelsea on the kings road at Starbucks for coffee then sat watching the world go by for ages. The only meal we had that day was in my favourite place - the big easy , where I took Ben last month for his birthday.
The starter platter - was bigger than frank but he was definitely bigger than the platter afterwards !!!!!!
Then of course I had to have lobster
I got back on the bike but lord knows how , as I was fit to burst .
Yesterday we were back to earth with a large bang Breakfast at work was cornflakes , yogurt and blueberries,

Lunch was ham mustard sandwich , ALDI quavers , and fruit

Dinner last night, peas, jackets and pork loins with whole grain mustard and cheese
