The date
We did it! On the same week I picked the envelope we did the date, I’m in shock!! I had heard about a place in Lancashire (so nearby I thought) that did a picnic table afternoon tea – it had rave reviews and after a quick Google The Garden Kitchen at Holden Clough Nursery came […]
Another of mine this week, I forgot I’d come up with these, I can only remember oe more and there’s a few of mine still in there! Go to the casino, and actually play on the tables! I cleverly (yeah right!) challenged myself in this one – at the casino I always play on the […]
Back in May I picked a date that’d I’d written (and if I remember rightly John was impressed by!): Go to the fair and eat candy floss, if there isn’t one on then go to Blackpool So one sunny Sunday in September we decided to actually go! it was a lovely day, with a small […]
Now we’re talking, I picked well this week: Go for afternoon tea And I know exactly where I’d like to go, AND we’re actually planning on doing it this week, you know the whole idea of this – to do the date on the week chosen! (We’ll not remind anyone of the forfeit threat!)… Watch […]
So in a bid to tick things off the list before the arrival of Dot we may have cheated slightly on this one… We went to a restaurant at the Trafford Centre we’ve not eaten at before, we missed mini golf – I can’t see my feet let alone a small ball all the way […]

With the sun finally shining (it is August isn’t it?!) we decided that it was time for a picnic! We had plans to visit friends with a little baby in the afternoon but thought we’d head out in the morning, and similar to repeating breakfast in bed we decided to head back to the scene […]
So John got breakfast in bed on Sunday, as per the instructions he chose what he wanted, although we’re not proving to be very original… I think we just know what we like!! In case you can’t tell on the menu was – pancakes, raspberries and yoghurt. I’d like to think mine was better presented […]
