Daniel's Mum, 1st Stop...

Good Morning,

We arrived at Daniel's Mums Monday 8th March. Always to a huge welcome of lovely food and welcoming hugs! We have been "Non Stop" since we arrived and we didn't even get there until after 6pm. So we had a chilled out first night and went to bed early.

Since we've left work the sun has followed us around with blue skies and glorious sunshine, i feel honoured that we've been so lucky not to have rain.

While we have been staying at Daniel's Mums we have been to York, Whitby and Brymore Ice Cream to meet the Jersey cows and eat some of the delicious ice cream! It was incredible! We have also done loads of walking to get in to the swing of it for our travels. Truly spoilt with fantastic home cooked meals and day-trips out we set off on our way to the train station on Friday 12th March. A date we had in our heads for travelling since booking the tickets in October! On arrival at the train station we were bemused to realise there was no train at the time stated. Daniel checked again through the tickets and we got on the nearest train to the time. We arrived in York in no time at all realising that there were no further trains and on inspecting the tickets further we realised we should have been leaving on the Saturday.. Option A: £110 Train fare and admitting we were in the wrong to a snotty women at customer services. Option B: Staying a night in a B&B at £50 and having to fork out for food but getting a nice nights stay in York. Option C: Swallowing our pride, paying £12 on the train back to Northallerton and getting another home cooked meal and good nights sleep in free accommodation. Yes, we chose "Option C" It was all good fun and made us giggle, although Daniel looked surprisingly grumpy for a while!

After an adventurous week and a silly little mix up we arrived safe and sound at my Mums yesterday! Woohoo.

The plan today is: Going for a nice long walk and then a pub dinner...Perfect :) Happy Mothers Day to all you Mums. I hope your having a day of being spoilt rotten!

I'll try and get around to doing another entry soon...less than 3 weeks until we fly!!
