Back again
Has it really been a week already? Wow, where does the time go to???? The week has been very nice really, and I cant tell you how badly we all needed to get away from everything here, and although I couldnt leave the pain at home a lot of the stress and worries etc were gone for the duration.
The highlight of the break had to be a visit to Bamburgh Castle, which was just fantastic. It took over 4 hours to go around the WWII museum there, and the main castle history tour itself, and to have a drink in the coffee shop etc. http://www.bamburghcastle.com/
The best thing about it, was that you werent fixed to a tour guide. You could have a guide if you needed one, but we were quite happy to get the guide book and plod through there on our own steam. There was some fantastic armoury materials there, and antiques etc. The WW2 museum was also fantastic, and with spitfire wrecks, turret guns, and such like all there for you to see and touch etc it was a real eye opener as to what it must have been like to be there.
Bamburgh Castle itself has 15 apartments in it available for rent. They have 6 bedrooms each, and come with parking and all the usual trimmings.... fancy living in a castle? Well, if you've got £2000 (Pounds Sterling) ($4000US) per month then you too could live in stately excellence. Bet you have to give a weeks notice before farting when you get there!!!
Second best highlight of the week was gettin to let Lucy off her lead on the golden beach that was there at Seahouses. It went on for miles, lovely golden sandy beach. And whilst it was pretty cool, certainly not paddling weather (esp in the North Sea! lol) it was a great couple of hours there - we went three times in all there so it wasnt a one off experience either. I even managed to get some video footage of Lucy on the beach with the digital camera - I keep forgettin that that thing has the avi function on it! So, expect to see Lucy's First Motion Picture hitting the net soon, along with the pre-requisite holiday snaps - well ive hardly no friends to share them with here, so I may as well bore the pants off you lot with them instead! :)
The pain did rear its head a few times. I ended up spending a couple of afternoons or mornings layin on the bed in agony, but even that really didnt dampen the holiday spirit.
We're not fans of caravan holidays by anymeans but this was a really luxurious caravan compared to the others we've been in, even if the single bed I was in was only 2ft 6inch! lol :D
So, depression wise things are a lot better. They were already improving before we left, but this break has made all the difference. I hope this session continues for a long time, but with a docs appt and a couple hosp appts coming up in in the next couple weeks or so, Im sure it wont be long before frustration rears its ugly head again and my mood plummets down with it.
Anyways, Im pretty tired, so Im gonna go now. I'm sure I'll be back soon.
Bye for now,
J.
