What a beautiful weekend we have just had, the weather does strange things. I was thinking about those poor people that had weddings etc booked when it should have been nice in August then you get a weekend like this in the middle of October (serves them right get married I suppose Not high on my list of recommendations). It wasn't all good on saturday though, that awful performance by England on Saturday night wasn't great thankfully they improved near the end. Ashley Cole should go and sit on that crap singing show with his missus, coz he was no no good at playing football. In the words of Ann Robinson "You are the weakest link Goodbye".
If I got booed as much as him I would not play for England again, heres hoping hey!
Sunday here in the Sunny South West was a busy day, we had a food fair here at the Barnstaple Pannier Markets, that was really good for sampling food including a very nice Paella which was cooked by a good friend of ours ex wife (see what I was saying earlier). She has a resturant in Barnstaple that we really should try. It wasnt the same for buying though, some of the prices were very steep, we bought a Guiness and Beef -Pork pie and that cost £2 and some Tomato soup in a bag that cost £4.
In the afternoon the dogs needed walking so we took off to Westward Ho! along with what seemed the rest of Bideford and Westward Ho!. The place was packed, one of the main attractions being the waves splashing up over the sea defences. Really good to watch but i really didn't feel the need to feel the waves on me too. Unlike some of the muppets in this area.
The Tea on the Green does a very good Cream Tea and even though I am trying to be good at the moment, it is just to much to resist. Row is great she only ever wants to buy one scone and says I only want a half of an half, Yeah really!! good job I never listen and buy two scones as they always go down very well. The Tea on the Green is a really nice place but unfortunately only opens in the afternoon, I am sure they would get a good amount of customers for evening meals if they opened longer.
Well its Monday evening now and although the afternoon improved it was a wet and miserable start to the week here, and the weather forecast dosent look much better, so maybe the summers not here after all.
