Upon landing at 5.05am local time, I make my way to our
designated meeting area and get a nice big hug from Paul. We are excited to
start our holiday together.
We travel from Heathrow through Oxford, grabbing a morning
cup of coffee from the local Costa’s. We
then drive through to our friends, Johnny and Barbara who have the most
beautiful home in Northampton. We spent until lunch time chatting and catching
up, and then after thanking them for their fabulous hospitality, we make our
way to Newmarket.
Newmarket is the most beautiful little village. We book into
the Premier Inn and then take a nice long walk down the High Street, and wander
around the shops, stopping at a lovely pub called
The Golden Lion, where I sample one of my very favourite
drinks called “Lager and Blackcurrant”. So delicious, but even a half pint
gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling. (yes, the last of the great drinkers!)
After a lovely Fish and Chips for me and a Steak and Ale pie
for Paul, in the hotel restaurant, we are getting ready for bed. Been a long
day and we are both exhausted.
Tomorrow will be a great day together, and we will update
the blog tomorrow evening.
Sleep tight to all of our family and friends back home.
