England Day 4

by capricorn30 on Aug.10, 2009, under Blog

Hey all, had yet another fantastically warm, sunny day in Tea-and-Scones Land which was great for me if not so nice for the boyfriend. I hadn’t quite appreciated the sense of freedom one has with a car, so we took the Street KA down to Elvaston Castle for a couple of hours to soak up loads of Vitamin D and poddle round the woods/gardens/lakeside.

It was also my friend Caroline’s 18th birthday so we (mainly I, actually) got all dressed up and headed down to Melbourne for lots of lovely stuff to eat and a bit of banter. It was all v nice and clean so I think we were all rather apprehensive about spilling drinks on the carpet. Despite that there was excellent service from Caroline’s two younger brothers which was v surprising given what we’d all heard about them!

Stan told me I should mention the sweet champagne about now, which was ‘amazing’ in most people’s opinions. Personally I thought it tasted like crap, but then champagne isn’t to my taste. Probably because it isn’t electric blue and an alcopop.

We also saw a bit of my friend Ashley who got the tattoo last Thursday. It’s looking a bit icky at the moment, but as soon as it scabs properly and falls off then it should be a beautiful, inky black. Can’t wait and it isn’t even etched onto my skin.

Talk soon, love.
