Escape #1

OK, so, we have declared enough is enough on weekend DIY. That is now confined to week day evenings that we finish work in time for (or, in my case at the moment, encourage from afar!).

So - we escaped to Herefordshire this weekend... to purchase the wedding present... a success all round, though it was diffcult to coax Rob away from the 101 DIY jobs that need doing into the rain filled depths of Herefordshire...

New toy on trusty Focus...

 
 Red wine in the tent...

 Our tent & the River Wye in the background
   
 Our fancy water boiling system on it's first use...

 Don't let this decieve you - this was the view out of the tent this morning after raining ALL NIGHT. ALL NIGHT. Not kidding. No 'major' leaks though...

 Enjoying morning coffee & lack of rain...

 The view all the way home...

Definitely the first of many adventures... next time we might even put the canoe in the water (!!) - the River Wye was crazy high and very fast - so we thought ourselves unprepared for that. What didn't help was that on the way to the pub we helped the campsite / canoe people pull out 5 x alimunium canoes and 1 x barrel of some dudes kit. We also watched 3 x paddles float by. The guy who stuff it was (i think one of the lucky ones, as that's the only barrel of apparently 4 that we saw) was approximately 4 miles up stream... errr.... OK. :-)

Hence this (Petersfield lake!):
