Stratford-upon-Avon

This weekend I was away in Stratford-upon-Avon which was the most amazing weekend. We did Warwick castle on the Saturday, below is a picture of me being attacked by a rat!! It was a really good day out, they had jousting, a flaming trebuchet  display and warriors fighting but at the end of the day we got caught in the most massive thunderstorm and were drenched. This was extra frustrating as we had seen the thunderstorm coming from the top of the castle and hoped to beat it back to the car!

On the Sunday we went to Stratford-upon-Avon and did a walking tour (which was amazing), a tiny bit of shopping and then drove home via small roads. We really want to go back again as there seemed to be so much that we wanted to do but simply couldn't fit in/ couldn't do with the dog in tow.

Now I am back to reality, had my second lot of blood tests taken this morning for my fertility testing. The joiners are here fitting my new floor and making sure all the doors fit properly (they leveled the floor on Friday so the kitchen door wouldn't close!). I am feeling very on edge today as there is no door between here and the kitchen plus I can hardly get in and move around in the kitchen with them working. I will have to make sure that I have lunch when the workmen do! 

Oh and I have started learning English Paper Piercing, this is how far I have got so far, eventually this will be turned in to a cushion for my bedroom :D All the fabric was donated by a friend so this has only cost me the price of the thread I needed!
