Wow am I weary today. Last night DH and I attended the Lincolnshire Ball at the historic Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa. Here there is a bar, which became known as the Dambusters Bar as it was frequented by those famous flight crews. We were also lucky enough to have a Spitfire Flypast early on in the proceedings as we enjoyed pre-dinner drinks on the Terrace. It was a fabulous night as you can see from our grinning faces below. Although raining, we braved the short walk to the carousel to have a surreal ride on the horses.
Today I'm not really with it especially as we had to get up early to see Olivia and DH off on a trip to London as Olivia won tickets for Wimbledon. Meanwhile I took Charlie to the usual trumpet lesson and tomorrow he and I will do our bit for the Beavers when Charlie takes part in the Inter Beaver Colony Connect 4 Championships. Life is never dull in this household!!!
Luckily today's Less is More Challenge is a sketch and thankfully not a difficult one. I find these easier to do when you've partied hard the night before.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs Zx
