i have a lovely pair of walking boots that i have had since the sixth form – 20 years oldish. i have had periods when i have barely worn them, but wearing them again more recently at helmsley remindded me how beautiful they are in fit and comfort [scarpa asolo, cost a fortune at the time!]. anyway, i wore them yesterday as it was nature walk day.
we went to meet up with the manor borns for our nature walk. it was a bit parky in the weather department, but we took soup with us to eat when we got there [it takes 3/4 hour] and then waited. Marcus cycled there, and looked pleased to see us [and soup] and the michelle and chloe. we got walking and did the hill fort route this time. its fairly newly opened. it was a good walk actually, in the end. but we all still prob like the quarry route best! we did think the walk might be doomed, but the girls all cheered up – in part helped by santa sleigh gold coins that were dotted about.
Back to the manor borns for a lovely tea [as always] and then we were dreadful guests – well sort of – because we game napped marcus and had a fab game of agricola. michelle was a resigned game widow and ‘putered away and provided drinks, one i spluttered over then game as marcus made me laugh just as i had taken a mouthful 
is anyone a game player at centreparcs?
anyway, lovely evening.
today we have been to the panto, and all really enjoyed it, organised by the brownies. the girls thought it totally fab, and me and chris enjoyed it to, the same place as we went to last year. i think they do a good panto. don’t try to be fancy or clever, and stick to tried and tested panto success!!
came home and watched the second harry potter followed by the second dr who, and bb still bumbling about as she slept in the car.
you’re all making me want to buy games!! Lol! Been thinking about Memoir 44 for ages and might take the plunge and buy it. Hoping M will like, but suppose if we all hate it we should be able to sell on again fairly easily.
Thanks for being there with the soup for him! ’twas a lovely day. Thank you.
I quite like a bit of game-playing but shall need instruction in all these new-fangled ones!
I loved games as a kid as it was a rare chance to interact with adults on the same level, if you see what I mean. Any sort of hierarchy disappeared whilst we competed on the same terms under the same rules. Have enjoyed playing some of the games we got from Christmas. Like the idea of a cooperative games such as Pandemic. Must go to our excellent game shop.
Also must decide whether a Dad’s Army board game actually existed or whether I made that up.
