Back in the good old home town too! It's so good to be home, even if it is boring and industrial-ly (yes, that is now a word) in comparison to the beautiful town I left in Kent.
I've been home for about a month now, and it's been adventures and larks galore recently. I came home and had a lovely meal with friends and family, to mark my return, which culminated in 4 of us playing the Catchphrase board game back at my house. I have to say, the Catchphrase board game isn't really as good as you'd hoped.
As well as that, I have seen friends for coffee, been for an adventure in the Peak District with the Best Friend, spent time going between the Boyf's new Uni house in Loughborough and home. The Elder Basons, the Boyf and I had a wonderful day at History Live! at Kelmarsh Hall. I had a couple of riding lessons back at Barleyfields on my favourite pony Jasper, accompanied by Mummy Bason and I worked overnight at Loughborough's Graduation Ball, which was a tidy £70 and a good, if long, night.
Also, one night we camped in the garden! My very good friend from Surrey came up, and he, Best Friend, the Boyf and I camped in the garden, but not before a very good evening of Bowling (with The Elder Basons, too) where #TEAMGIRL (Mummy Bason, Best Friend and myself) were amazing in comparison to #TEAMBOY (Surrey Friend, the Boyf and Daddy Bason). This was followed by coming home for a take away and two other friends popping round to say hi, they bought cake (this cake will be discussed shortly), they are welcome back again any time. The rest of the evening was spent with alcohol sat on the top patio with lots and lots of candles, as the Boyf had forgotten the fire bucket.
All of this was done in 2 and a half weeks, in the run up to a Major Life Event. The following day I received a Very Important Phone Call. That afternoon I was due at the hospital. For Open Heart Surgery the following day. I have to say I'm so glad that Surrey Friend and Best Friend were there when I got the call, it was a very weird, numb, scary feeling when it all suddenly became real. The whole of this heart adventure can be read about here. By the way, aforementioned cake was in the shape of a heart, which was wonderful!
Anyway, I am back home now, recovering better than anyone had expected and have many more adventures planned for the Summer. Since coming home I have already visited a place called The Mug Tug. I'm not sure if I've talked about it before but it's at Barton Marina and is Paint-a-Pot on a canal boat! I absolutely adore it's quaint and quirky feel and the lady who runs it is so welcoming. I went there to make Something for the Boyf's upcoming birthday and also decided to paint something for myself, when I've collected them after they've been finished off in the kiln, I will post photos.
I am planning on going to Shrewsbury Flower Show at the weekend, partly to go to the show, and partly to go and see Bellowhead! So very excited for this. Other upcoming adventures include visiting Bolsover Castle to see the 17th Century riding school, and the next Battle, which is the August Bank Holiday weekend.
Since I am actually doing interesting things at the moment, I do aim to actually blog about it. We'll see what happens.
