A weekend away

After a week of running, spinning, swimming, cleaning, cooking and baking.

We needed a rest 🙂

So we escaped to Nottingham for the weekend to stay with Steve and Ren

Geoff had planned a lovely little walk for me, which I was so looking forward too.

Ren decided she would like to come with us too 🙂

So on Sunday we headed off to Clumber park.

Where we did a circular 19 mile walk taking us through the Welbeck estate and Creswell Crags.

It was a glorious day and we also managed to meet up with Geoff’s brother and sister in law, who walked round Creswell Crags with us.

Ren who is not a regular walker did so well to walk 19 miles with out one moan or blister 🙂

As for Steve well he has been setting me a few challenges on the wi-fit and all I can say to him is watch out when I get home 🙂

Third time lucky

Some time ago, well 36 days ago to be precise, Micheal and Laura recommended a great looking tea shop in Nottingham.

Since then I have been desperate to go and try it out.

On the first attempt it took us too long to find and was closed.

Second attempt the queue was far too long.

Third attempt there was still a small queue but I persuaded Geoff to wait.

Pleased to say I was not disappointed, My Assam tea was perfect, served in beautiful china cups and tea pot.

Far to many delicious cakes to choose from but I went for the battenburg and was not disappointed.

It was a real treat and The Walk cafe is a  must place to visit if your ever in Nottingham.
