Family daze
Yesterday we returned from a few days away in Beddau, South Wales, visiting my brother-in-law’s family. Weather wasn’t crap, and we visited a few nice places near Swansea, including doing the Mumbles walk (where the children found a partially decomposed dead dog on the beach) nice.
My brother-in-law can be a bad influence. I fancy a classic car and he has three (an MG BGT, MG B – the big resto project and a Mercedes 280 SL). He also has a very nice Mamod Traction Engine and since arriving back home I’ve had a couple of failed bids for some very nice examples on ebay. I’m hoping to found a good working example for about £50.
We chilled out today, over the water in West Kirby, and even though it was bitingly cold by the sea, we had a nice walk around the marine lake, failed to catch a single tiddler, but had a wonderful light lunch in the Sunset Lounge cafe/bistro. We were going to have a quick shufftie at Brimstage Hall, but on arriving back at the car park, Rache, tripped and smashed her bottom teeth through her bottom lip. Closer inspection revealed her teeth had only just made it through and the scar would be minimal. Her teeth were intact, but a quick visit to Arrowe Park A&E to check things out meant our day ended with a whimper, literally!
Tomorrow, we’re on the Wirral again to celebrate my niece and nephew’s birthdays almost two months late. Happy birthday Gabi and Matt!
