Mental Note to Self (May 25)

Hair goes frizzy if you don't condition it after shampoo.

Again with the Weather (My 24)

So, after the freaky fog, it got super nice and hot again. Lurveley! This afternoon we went to Howick Hall to meet Nans friend Julia. She was lovely and chatty, bought us all afternoon tea in the hall. Banana milkshake and another scone hit it up in my belly. God! I eat so much junk!

Once we'd strolled around the gardens, we went to a little cove thing, it was cute, we had a wander round. When that was finished, we drove back to Julia's and she said she'd take us to a spa! Not really a spa though, just a pool. With a hot tub, sauna and steam room... It was fun though, we had a laugh.

On the drive home we stopped for chips! They were five minutes out from closing. (Bloody chippy's shutting at nine!) We drove back along the coastal road and saw the barn owl again. Stopped at the base of Bamburgh Castle to eat the chips. Now we're home and I'm in bed.

Hand cramping!

The Weather Changes Like Fashion (May 24)

Wow. Looking outside right now you wouldn't imagine it was 27 degrees this morning. We all thought today was going to be beautiful, and it started off so, but now (1:56pm) it looks quite the opposite.

We decided that today we would travel to St. Cuthberts cave. It was boiling hot. I noticed especially as the only dry shirt I have left is a black one. Joy. We trekked up a hill. Again. It was steep. Butt looks great. And we started along a trail. About half way there I jump around a puddle and what do I nearly tread on? A snake. An adder to be exact, well we think it was an adder. I screamed! The other people on the path stopped to stare. Awkward. It wasn't nice.

The cave itself was okay, not my cuppa tea, but yeah... When we were walking back, the same place we saw the snake, there was a super cute newt/lizardy thing. I wounder if it was a great crested newt like the ones on Alco? I was the first one to the car by like 10 minutes, so I called Elise. So what if she is still in school, its lunchtime, so of course she wants to hear my voice. We chatted for a while, then she had to go.

Once we were finished at the cave, we drove to some little farm shop and had lunch. I had half an egg and cress on brown and half a tomato and cucumber on white. It was delish! Then, as we ordered a course meal, I had a fruit scone, a caramel slice, a meringue, and a slice of lemon drizzle. God that makes me sound so fat. I don't care, it was great!

We're back at the cottage now because the fog rolled in. We went into the cafe for 30 mins. It was gorgeous when we went in. We come out and it is foggy, and cool. We were supposed to have a walk along the beach. I was going to swim, but no.

Its foggy.

Too... Hot... (May 23)

My bed, was creaking. Hitting the wall. Too much noise. I'm the only one in the room, and its boiling hot. I'm only wearing a baggy shirt and I want to tear my skin off. So now I've moved all my stuff to the other bed.

Tired. Night!
