Last weekend
Jun. 28th, 2004 03:04 pmLast minute plans saw us visiting friends in Frome, Somerset for the weekend.
Initial fears that 2 children + 2 dogs = chaos were thankfully unfounded. The dogs (a Staffordshire Bull Terrier mum and her 4-month-old pup that our friends were dog-sitting) were totally adorable, and both children are totally smitten with them. As is DH. (As am I, but we’re not having one, OK? Got that, family?)
Went out for a walk in the woods in the rain on Saturday (it was Glastonbury weekend - of course it was pouring with rain). Climbed a folly (Alfred’s Tower) - 205 steps to the top - and then went searching for the nearby geocache. Kids and dogs and adults all had great fun bashing through undergrowth looking for the cache. Finally found it, signed our names in the logbook, and took the Sigma the Scorpion Travel Bug we found inside away with us to hide somewhere else. When we got back to the house we checked on the Net and found out that Sigma started his travels in Florida, visited Alabama, New Mexico, and Texas, then headed over the Atlantic to North Yorkshire a couple of weeks ago before moving down to Somerset. We’ll probably put him in a cache in the centre of Cambridge, where he’ll stand a good chance of being moved on by a visitor to who knows where?
Sunday morning I went out for a run. Now, I’m used to running in Cambridge. Cambridge is flat. Frome is most decidedly not flat. My legs ache.Probably Almost certainly good for me, though.
Drove home through the most incredible thunderstorm and torrential rain. Kind of like being in some sort of submarine...
A good weekend.
