Trying to create this blog has proven to me I am not up to date with the 21st century and all the cool kids – blogs? categories? pages? What??
Thankfully Tom has helped me out so I can fill you all in on adventures thus far:
We have travelled abroad to Scotland and Venice as well as driving around the UK, notably to Whitby, York and the Lake District.
We went to Edinburgh for the Easter weekend and absolutely loved it. Even though the city was undergoing pretty extensive earthworks we loved the size of the city and the history of it. We did a night tour walking around the old town where actors popped out of dark alleys trying to scare us. I was on edge a bit but it was fun especially using Tom as a human shield. The highlight was a day tour into the western highlands of Scotland. The driver was really funny – I think I smiled and laughed at everything he said. Was pretty awesome.
In late April we flew to Venice to meet up with some friends who were on their honeymoon. I didn’t know what to expect from Venice as I had never wanted to actually go there but it was good. Basically a small island with lots of bridges and tourists. I gorged myself on gelati and we found a great pizza café were we had the most amazing small, square pizzas for brunch 3 out of the 4 mornings. The copious amounts of pesto wedged in my teeth was a small price to pay for the greasy deliciousness.
In between all this I have taught myself to crochet. I joined a local knitting group where one of the ladies can also crochet. I go once a week and the ladies are very impressed with what I do with my crochet hook. For any crochet peops out there I am using cotton yarn to learn the ropes and am mastering the granny square – oh yeah. I will get some pics up of my handy work soon.
Now Tom has helped me work this thing out I promise to be all over this blog
