A weekend apart

So last weekend Benny went on a boys weekend to Newcastle to watch primarily a football match. Sadly Liverpool lost. They also went on a stadium tour. Those on Facebook saw Ben being checked into a lot of pubs and clubs along the way. Ben returned safely on Sunday night with only the slight essence of beer smell.

I on the other hand opted for something quieter. I spent the weekend with Melissa. We went to Salisbury which is famous for having the highest church spire. I couldn't believe how many germans were there to view the magnificent church. It was huge.

Salisbury is really pretty. We spent the day wandering around the shops and had a lovely pub lunch outside for a change.












I went back to Lee and Melissa's house on Saturday night. We had went to a great seafood restaurant. I had craved fish pie since returning from Australia and really needed my fix. I'm not sure what I'll do when we go back home as a never saw fish pie on the menu anywhere.


On Sunday Melissa and I went to see the sales at House of Fraser. I sadly wasn't as lucky as Melissa. After parting with Melissa I went back home and went for a long walk in the sunshine. I couldn't believe the number of people having picnics in the park, drinking at the local pub and kids playing soccer and riding their bikes. I can't wait until summer really arrives as this was just a nice sneak preview of what is yet to come.  I walked all the way to Hammersmith Bridge and then good a tad bit lost. Lucky for the GPS on the iphone I found my way back.


 


 Tonight I'm off to an awards dinner which should be a lot of fun. It is being held in a very fancy hotel close to Hyde Park. We fly early to Spain in the morning, hopefully beating the airport rush for Easter.

Happy Easter from Benny and I.
