Best of British - Day Six



Half way through my UK trip now (and almost at the end of July). I was so excited because this was the day that I got to see my niece for the first time in six months, it was her 3rd birthday.

Before heading to Cambridgeshire though, we stopped at our old 'fish n chip' shop on the way for lunch and ate our food in Woodthorpe Park. This is the best chip shop ever! on a Friday night, there are always queues around the corner.



After lunch, we headed towards my sisters and had a pit stop on the way at Rutland Water. The sun was shining so it was quite busy. It's a beautiful place, I would have liked to have longer here but I was keen to get to my sisters and see my niece.

My niece got a trampoline for her birthday, but she had to wait for daddy and uncle Rich to build it first. She was very impatient (just like aunty Row!) but we got there in the end.

We had take away again that night, more fish n chips! and then I read Caitlin a story before she went to bed, her favourite is Go Dog Go which is an old book of mine that I passed on. We had a lot of  "Do you like my hat" before she would go off to sleep.....she is such a cutie.

Do you still have any of your old books?

  2. Rutland Water is so pretty but I've not been there in soooo long! Looks like your niece loves her trampoline - my three-year-old nephew loves his too, but then so does my 31-year-old hubby, lol! xx

    1. I would have loved to hire bikes and have a little cycle round Rutland Water if we'd have more time. I quite fancied a go on the trampoline too but you had to be under 12 stone and I'm probably close to that! Must lose some weight x

    2. Ah they say that but my hubby is not under 12 stone and he didn't break it, although you can't jump on it fully - you'd end up in the neighbours garden!

  3. Okay as I am reading backwards - I see Caitlin is your niece. Still a cutie and still adore her name.
