England – Last week sum up…
So yeah, I didn’t get lazy with my post’s, I just was rather busy for the rest of the week. I just got back to Saintfield this evening so I thought I would give a sum up of the last 5 days in England. Thursday was spending enjoying the lovely weather and spending some time pottering around Aston with Kendal and Ashley – however this was cut short due to the iminent arrival of Ashleys better half back into the country – so we spent the rest of the day watching X-Files. I might as well explain now that in general this is what we did with our free time…Season 1 and 2 are now watched and out of the way…
But Kendal’s totally not into it…
Friday we took a ncie little top-down trip to Morley which is just North of Derby where Kendal used to live. Was nice taking the car out on the country roads…however there was a lot of driving up and down and up and down becuase we got lost…We did however end up in a town called Stanley, which I though rahter approprite, what with it being my name and all (pictures to come).
Friday night involved lots of trawling around Derby, avoiding the local whores (YES I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU GIRLS DRESSED IN SWAT OUTFITS THAT SEEMED TO FOLLOW US AROUND!! First at Revolution then at Scream…). We started off the night in a bar called Revolution (Club upstairs, not my type of music but seemed like a nice place anyway), then moved onto a very crowded pub called the Beddington Carriage (good music played here but lots of people). From there we went to Mosh, which is 3 bars, each on a different floor. Rock/pop punk on the ground, metal on the 2nd and sorta old skool on the 3rd. Just to point out though, the 2nd floor (Metal/Industrial) was one of the best Metal mixes I have ever heard. From there we headed to Screm, which definately wasn’t my scene at all, so I spent most of the night in the beer garden (not drinking due to lack of monies) and avoiding the public in general. Scream clsoed at two so we headed back to Mosh for an hour of seriously heavy metal and headbanging before heading home at 3am. Over all was a rather good night.
Saturday and Sunday involved X-Files and Gaming (we got a 14 – day Wold of Warcraft trail and decided to try it out together… Really enjoyed it despite being warned off by several people. Kendal loves it too!!) although we also took a trip to the Melbourne resevoir, where we paddled our toes in the water, admired the swans and generally enjoyed each others compnay.
Monday = lots of walking…walked to Elvaston, then to Elvaston Castle, Then round Aston (wood carrying ensued) but finished off the night with a chimnea and everyone all huddled round it.
And today I’m home… And Kendal is joing me on Thurday – but before then I have to get 4 teeth ripped out, so I’m going to be in hospital for the next two days…only one night though thank goodness…
Maybe I can blog on my phone…
