Well this weekend wasn't that exciting. Alex, poor love, worked all weekend Saturday and Sunday and I pottered, mopped floors, cleaned and dusted the house. Then me and Alex met on the sunday after he finished and went to Brindley Place by the canals and had a very late lunch at Cafe Rouge. It was lovely to finally meet up and spend a few hours together.
Then on Monday me and Laura and little baby Emma went on a road trip visiting wedding venues. It was great to have the day off and we spent the whole day driving around country lanes and the Warwickshire/Worcestershire countryside is beautiful. We went to Charlecote Park Hall, part of the National Trust and opposite visited a hotel that was very lovely called the Charlecote & Pheasant. The village is the most idyllic also, and we were very impressed. It was great having Laura because she works in a hotel as a wedding coordinator and asked questions that I wouldn't have thought of. We went on to Droitwich - that town is like a mini bermuda triangle - I always get lost! Then Bromsgrove and Redditch. The other highlight was The Rectory. It is the most beautiful little hotel ever - each room is individually done out and it's family owned. I fell in love with the place. Then the lady sat there and cooly said the cost would be around £6000 and I lost all the feeling in my legs!
Ok so, we're progressing...
On another note, yesterday was Pads' first anniversary. We don't know her birthday so this was our chance to spoil her! We also made pancakes as it was pancake day (Shrove Tuesday). So it was quite a momentous Tuesday!
Now the computer is back in the shop so blogging's been quite difficult, apologies! I'll let you know what happens with that - the computer guy forgot to connect the floppy disk plus we've had more virus problems... evil viruses!
El lunes pasamos, yo y mi buena amiga Laura y su preciosa hija Emma, conduciendo entre hoteles para organizar la boda... hay tantas cosas que no habia pensado... pero tenemos dos sitios que son muy especial, y Alex y yo iremos a visitarlas pronto. El dia duro 8 horas y Emma fue un angel - casi no lloro durante todo el dia!
