Well how about I start with some of the things you already know... If you're following me on Instagram then you will be familiar with 99happymoments :) Yes, I followed the craze and of course put my own little twist on it - I have managed to post every day, and I am trying hard not to repeat ideas too, so for example, I used the pretty blue sky as one of the days, I won't be using it again; I kinda want them all to be a little bit different. Challenge accepted!
The beginning of April saw Vernon getting a new friend -Vicky fell in love with a hand made bear when we went to Arrow Farm and walked away with Felix :) From then on the two (and us of course) have had all sorts of fun getting up to mischief and being as random as possible.
I posted briefly, about what was (up to that date) the most spontaneous I had proven to be, when I went to Cleethorpes, and was very impressed with myself at how little planning and thought had gone into it :) Terry and I had chips on the beach, played in the arcades and went for a walk on the sand. Vernon sneaked along too of course and got in some photos - although it was Terry who photo-bombed him, not the other way around... We even laid and looked at the stars for a bit and Vernon had to get snuggle in my hood because it was getting colder.
The following adventures are in the last blog post - My trip to Horncastle to see Momma and Squeak, my horse riding antics, of which I haven't done any more yet as the bruising on the bottom of my back has only just disappeared, and the most amazing act of spontaneity yet - the trip to Bolsover Castle!
The day after we went out again - a little more planned, but not by much - and visited Kirkham Abbey - a beautiful little set of ruins out in the middle of nowhere! We even managed to score a decent day weather wise and enjoyed playing on the ruins. Vicky even found a hill to roll down!
The second week of the Easter Break was spent decorating at home - we painted all of the ceiling, white work, walls and skirting boards in the lounge, stairs and landing... My sister and I both made the decision that when we move out we plan to move to bungalows after discovering just how painstakingly annoying painting skirting boards on the stairs can be... and i managed to get white paint on my elbows - how you may ask?? I haven't got the faintest clue!!
Then to round off an awesome holiday - it was Whitby Goth Weekend... Vicksy and I (and Vernon and Felix of course) went to the caravan for the weekend and spent Saturday in Whitby enjoying the scenery, costumes, and even the weather! Granted it got a little blustery as the day went on, but it still wasn't horrible.
On the Friday we ended up in Scarborough where Vicky played in the sand while I wrote in it :)
We spent ages down there, time just disappearing while we enjoyed the weather, sat on the cliffs and watched the sea. We played on the rocks, went climbing, and had a rest on the beach at the other side :) an awesome way to spend a Sunday morning in my opinion!
After Thorwick we went for a drive and went looking for another beach - Vicky had been to Hunmanby before but never made it down as far as the sand, so we went to investigate :) I even got my toes out and went for a splash in the water - My God it was cold I'll tell ya!!
I wrote in the sand, because I could, and nearly killed Vicks trying to get us both in the photo!And Vicky played in the sand too of course - she started building a sand snail, but unfortunately, and much to her disgust - the water crept up on her before she was finished! I'm sure there will be a repeat, further away from the sea next time! :)
Anyway, this was only supposed to take ten minutes and then I was going for a bath - not sure I can be bothered now - that was ages ago! One thing I have decided from today - I need to update more on my antics throughout the month so that I don't have as much to write at the end...
Keep your eye on Vernon on Instagram at vernonsadventure - we are off to play again for the bank holiday weekend :) and I hope you're still watching #mycrazyreadinghabits :) my latest book - Macbeth. The year 10's at school are doing it in English, and as I had ever read it before, figured I probably should so that I know what I'm rattling on about!
In final news - this months stay away food is Take Aways! Wish me luck :)
Love ya's,
Louby x
