It was Dave's birthday a couple of days ago and as we were both working and didn't really do much we decided to go out for a birthday lunch yesterday. We went for a drive up into the Lakes, over a snowy Kirkstone Pass and down into Ambleside. First we popped into Hayes Garden Centre and had a look around, but it was absolutely FREEZING outside so didn't stop too long looking at plants. The kids still managed to get a quick play on the playground, they just don't seem to feel the cold like me!! Mind you that probably had something to do with being awake until 2.30am as I couldn't sleep (combination of mind whirring, boys crying and husband snoring....loudly!)
By that time we were all starving so went off to a cafe in town, the food took absolutely ages to arrive and then wasn't anything really special (winge, winge, moan, moan!!) and the kids were still hungry by the time we got out so ended up having a sausage roll from Greggs!! We then headed up to Glenridding for a coffee for me and ice-cream for the kids and Dave,sat at the steamer cafe looking out over the lake and the snow on the mountains. We live in a beautiful part of the country and couldn't really see myself being anywhere else now.
Ben fell asleep on the way home and went to bed fully clothed, not waking up until midnight when I found him crying in the bathroom with no clothes on!!?? Got him snuggled up in his pyjamas, had a big cuddle and a kiss and back to bed and he slept until his usual time.
