A walk along the Avon
Arnold having a lazy afternoon
Frisbee!
Arnold gets his own ice-creamWe arrived around lunchtime and tootled off for a stroll along the river to let Arnold stretch his little Border legs. We ate lunch and then spent a lovely, lazy afternoon playing games, reading and doing the crossword. And what trip to Bidford would be complete without a trip to the chip shop for tea. By the time we left for home it was around 8.30pm which meant we were treated to the most beautiful sunset throughout our journey.
The following night, although cloudy, we enjoyed a smashing barbecue in the garden followed by an evening around the chiminea. Many, many games of pictionary and uno followed then lo and behold the cloud shifted and we were left with an evening of star gazing.
'A' & 'P' enjoying a night in the gardenSaturday saw us taking a drive out to Mom and Dad's caravan as they'd decided on a short break near Enville. Another leisurely afternoon ensued with an attempt at our 2nd barbecue of the week. Unfortunately the wind had other ideas leaving us to use the small caravan oven to cook for 7!
I've only just realised that I've not yet told you of my new addition, so now seemed a perfect opportunity. Her name is Glinda (as in 'Wicked'/'The Wizard of Oz') and she's a beautiful Ice Blue Mini Convertible. She arrived just before our holiday so I'd not had much chance to test drive her. However, Saturday's sunny trip to Enville was a superb opportunity even if it did mean we had to take two cars to enable us to transport all of our junk! It was worth it though, nothing more exhilarating than powering down the country lanes with the wind in your hair.
