Lots of things have happened since I last was on here, the main one being that Ben has got his place at Newcastle University! Yay!! He goes on the 19th September, so just over 3 weeks left at home. :-(
He got an A and 2 B's, which is brilliant, but he wasn't particularly happy because he wanted 2 A's, but didn't need them to get into Newcastle.
It seems such a long while ago when we went up to look a the university. Well, looking back at my old blogs it was last September! So a year ago! How time flies. So it will be a sad trip up the A1 with all his stuff. Oh, and just to make it worse, it's the weekend of the Great North run, so there's not a room to be had in Newcastle, so we're having to stay blooming miles away in Hexham! Also all the roads will be closed after 8pm till 2pm the next day! Joy!!
I've been on holiday for the last 2 weeks, haven't done too much really, but it's been a nice break. We spent a couple of days in Nottingham, not much going on there really, so a bit disappointing. On the way home though we stopped at Melton Mowbray which is a lovely little town. Had a walk in the park and took these:
Well back to work tomorrow, you've got to go back sometime so tomorrow's as good a time as any!!
