Hello!

Another week gone already! I hope you have days off from work for Easter adventures!

I took Mam on a day out to London on Tuesday, we had a marvellous time! We started off with a trip along the Thames on a boat, we got off at Canary Wharf as the boat got shakey and Mam started going a little bit green, I didn't want a reenactment of ferry trip to France so decided to get off! We went to Portobello road, I don't know why me and you have never ventured down there it was amazing! All sorts of treasure shops! I was looking for a chest to use as a coffee table, I found some but couldn't get them home so maybe I'll have to go back! We found another hummingbird bakery and brought cakes before heading off to Covent Garden. We wondered around there for a while and then went to a nice Italian in Leicester square for tea. The Waiter was Italian and kept calling me Miss. Mam laughed at this a lot. Our last part of the adventure was to see dreamboats and petticoats. You would've loved it, they all had amazing swing dresses and continuously sang 60s songs!

Work hasn't been too bad, mainly because I had Tuesday and Friday off. I've been shortlisted for a place at uni next year, I have to have an interview and that! I'm very pleased! I feel as though I may actually have an idea of what I'm doing for once! This is all good, but Ive worked out I need to save about £10,000. By January! (I've brought a lottery ticket!)

I met up with Christine on Thursday, we went for Nandos and whilst I was there I saw Becky, with her husband (still makes me laugh- imagine us being wives, we'd be so bad at it) anyway, she's cut her dreads off and now has short hair, I almost didn't recognise her. Anyway Nandos was, as usual, immense, I didn't steal anything though!

I saw Tasha on Friday, she's still got a mega bad back but we had coffee and tea and chatted for a while. I gave her the cake mixer to give back. I am heartbroken.

I've been out on the bike. When you come back we have to go for a walk near mine, there's a park with random sheets of metal dotted about and you can pick them up and look underneath for creatures. I saw a shrew and a snake.

Dads been having arguments with the gypsies because these have rocked up in our field. Along with about 10 horses and a Shetland Pony. Personally, I like them, A lot.
We're having Easter lunch at Mams tomorrow. I think it's going to be another Christmas dinner, I'm hoping for crackers!

Durham has Snow.

There's a hosepipe ban.

Titanic had been re-released in 3D. Had you been here, this would've definitely have been cause for a halfway meet.

Lots and lots of love,

Happy Easter
