Well, I have to tell you that I did have the most amazing weekend away.

It was so good to actually be away from the flat, away from the boys and away from everything!!!!

I spent a lot of time drinking voddy and just laughing and chilling out with mates, both old and new.

It has really livened me up and gave me the break that I needed.

Some of the weekend is already a distant blur, but a really good haze!!!!

The boys were pretty good for the lady upstairs and they looked a bit thinner but happy to see me!

I had an embarrassing moment when the van conked out as I was approaching the tolls, and they had to close the Dartford tolls for 5 minutes to allow me to be towed through.

The van is now on the side of the road waiting for the mechanic to come out next Tuesday.

I am not worried as I do not think it is too serious.

I cannot tell you how good it felt to be away, and now I have a cunning plan to try and get away again in June!
