Written by Well over the last week we have a lovely time going out and enjoying the sun!
Last Monday we took the day off work and spent the day at Colchester Zoo. It’s been a while since we last went and the new orang-utan enclosure was open – finally! And the orang-utans are soo cute! We bought our gold cards again which means we can go as often as we want…and we can visit Newquay Zoo for nothing when we go to Cornwall later in the year!
On Tuesday we got the train up to Portman Road in Ipswich and watched Pink perform on her Funhouse tour! Oy-oy, what a performance!!!
Quite possibly the best gig I’ve been to this month :0)
To those in the know, we were in the Cobbald Stand, row U – the last row to be used so we had enough space behind us to stand up and dance without showing how badly we both dance lol!
The picture above was taken on my HTC Hero so the stage looks twice as far away as it was! I saw James dance for the first time ever – and I’m surprised James didn’t dehydrate with the amount of sweat dripping from his forehead!
On Thursday we went out for dinner at the Harvester with friends.
The weekend weather actually didn’t disappoint for a change! We went into town, did a bit of shopping and then bought a slush puppy and went and sat in Castle Park and watched the world go by.
On Sunday we took a trip out to Cooper’s Beach on Mersea Island. It’s a bit windy on Mersea!! We had a bit of a walk, took a picnic and then lay out in the sun. I read while James slept, and yes, I had to nudge him when he started attracting the dogs by snoring too loudly. And yes, I got sunburnt – but only on my arms for a change! Eventually we worked out that we were facing Brightlingsea, after guesses of Maldon, Burnham and the like before realising they are on the Crouch and we were looking at the Colne! Doh!
All in all it was a really nice weekend and serves a reminder to get away from the computer a bit more!
Ooh and today we booked our holiday to Cornwall! Our first holiday together – ever!
