My Life on a Plate

Back To Business

I wonder why the time we spend enjoying something out of the ordinary seems to just fly by and returning to normality seems a much slower process?

I had a wonderful couple of days with my sister in Staffordshire where she lives, but already it seems ages ago and quite surreal. Today, she and her hubby are travelling by boat to Prague and I'm left looking at the photographs of my visit and feeling rather sad it's all over. But as someone once said - 'We need to come back so we can look forward to going again.'

On Thursday we enjoyed a swim, shopping and eating out, then spent the evening attempting (and failing) to iron out some of the problems she's having with her new computer. There were many giggles and refilling of glasses and two rather delicate heads the next morning.

On Friday we visited a local park called Trentham Gardens and had a thoroughly enjoyable day in long overdue spring sunshine. We perused the shopping outlets and garden centre, then ate lunch outside, before a long walk around the lake. Too soon it was time for my train to come home.

Back to normality and humdrum this weekend and nothing to report I thought. But it seems I've been doing some astral travelling and am now helping CC in preventing da hula hula dark lord from recovering his evil Dirk duck. So, I better get my brain cell in gear and think what can be done…

Here's a few photos of my visit.
