Well its been a great weekend for us both; no running ,no studying, just chilling with our friends. Our friends, who we met when travelling to Antarctica a few years ago, managed to find and get safely to us (no mean feat when we've been trying to arrange a mutually convenient date for a year, and considering that whenever we meet up something tends to go wrong at the travelling stage).
On friday night we had a leisurely meal, and found out that Jennifer from our group was the first ever female finalist on the Krypton Factor - wow! On Saturday we had a wander around Rufford Country Park and Abbey, its an amazing place; sculpture park, ruined abbey, orangery, and lake, in the Saville Restaraunt we saw an Ilkeston and Beeston clay jug which tied in quite nicely, as we'd pick some of our friends up from Beeston, and we live in Ilkeston- neat!. Our meanderings over the weekend helped us to see many birds (we went to Attenborough Nature Reserve on the Sunday) and had a walk along the river trent and then back to the tea shop. And we think we've managed to persuade Marg, another of our friends, to do the Yorkshire 3 Peaks with us in the summer - Marg also has an interesting story (well to many to mention really) but we'd never realised that shed been held up at gun point in an armed robbery - makes the Krypton Factor Assault course sound enjoyable!
sorry to see everybody go on sunday afternoon, cos we had a really good time, good laugh and it makes us realise that we have some really special and interesting friends.
