Saturday

 I had another good nights sleep, i think it must be due to the fact that it’s much cooler at night. We decided that as it was dry we would go out on our bikes. We got ready and left at just before 10 o’clock. I did a load of washing and hung it out before we left. We went down the track to Whitwell station where we sat on the station platform and ate an ice cream before coming back. It’s just over 15 miles and enough to keep our legs from seizing up. We had bacon sandwiches when we got home and for dinner tonight we had gammon steaks with potatoes, carrots and beans. Melon for dessert.

Wednesday

 We both had a good nights sleep. We had our breakfast and H got our bikes out straight away so we didn’t change our minds and not go. The funny thing is that when he came in he told me it was raining, but it was only a passing shower. We rode down to Whitwell station where we had an ice cream sitting on the platform and then rode home again the way we had come. I hung out my washing before we left and when we got home it was dry. For dinner we had pasta with meatballs and tomato sauce.

 Today was my day to meet my sister in law in the City for lunch. First we went for a coffee and then we went to have lunch. We were going to try somewhere different and we went in and got a table but when we looked at the menu there was nothing that took our fancy. So we came out again and went to Logan’s we hep a tuna and cheese melt with salad and chips. It was very nice. We also had a soft drink. The only thing I bought in the City was a case for my new iPad.

When we got home we put the bikes away and I got lunch. Cheese and biscuits and a cup of coffee. For dinner tonight we are having chicken with potatoes, runner beans, carrots and kale. Tomorrow I am going to garden .

Tuesday

 I have had a brilliant weekend! On Friday I flew to Copenhagen with my daughter and her husband and her 2 daughters, the  2 grandchildren and their dad a the youngest daughter’s boyfriend. We went for my grandson’s wedding to his Danish girlfriend. The wedding was fabulous taking place in a small church that was built in the 12 hundreds. After the ceremony it was champagne on the lawn in front of the church and then a private bus ride through the countryside to where the reception was being held. More champagne on the lawns in front of the hall before going in for the speeches and meal. The bride and groom certainly looked different to brides and grooms in this Country. It was all fabulous with the meal lasting over 3 hours. The favours were water pistols ( a bit different from English sugar  almonds. ) They also served  as the table plan because everyone’s name was written on their water pistol.everyone ended up wet. It was great fun and everyone joined in. 

On Sunday we went to the zoo, it’s a fabulous zoo with all the big animals, polar bears elephants rhinos, camels, lions. The list goes on. The animals were all very active the giant panda sat eating his bamboo and the polar bears went for a swim ect. Yesterday we walked to a cemetery to see Hans Cristian Anderson’s grave.

The weather was better than we thought it was going to be and the car park at Sheringham station was packed. We had a good walk along the beach and a paddle. H and I didn’t want much for tea we just had a bowl of strawberries and cream. Son had a salad.
