Could this be classed as a heavenly week end - I guess heavenly is in the eye of the beholder! Its been cold, dark and wet, but we've had a great week end. Yesterday morning was spent at Thomas Cook's - by the time we left two and a quarter hours later our holiday to Orlando was booked. It always pays to walk in with a plan, printed out on-line quotes and the patience to sit and wait till they go thru all their options and finally price match the quote you hold in your hand. But now we have something to look forward to and something to get us thru the winter.
The rain carried on into today to the point where local roads were under water and the whole world looked washed out and grey.  But we ventured out to the Pipeworks to do some Christmas shopping. The car park was a nightmare, and you have to ask yourself ......where do all these people come from? People would barely let you out of your parking space before trying to drive into it. If its this bad now, what will it be like nearer to Christmas?? But even tho it was a wet and miserable morning, it was one i got to spend with Mr Ivans - what more could I ask for!  Maybe only one thing.....that Subway served their breakfast specials till noon, not 11am - LOL!!
