Another week gone already? It's been busy, but I'll let
you know more about that another time :]
In the mean time, what did I get up to this week? Well, Monday I
went to help our sister hotel set up their till banks for a new promo
we have starting. No one there knows how to program the tills and so I
get the privilege, but to be fair, I don't mind xD It's something I
enjoy doing anyway and being the needed person is fun too x3
Tuesday was a work day, so without much time to myself I just dossed
around the house and played with the pets :] The gerbils are getting
so much bolder now! They are mostly fine with the lid of their tank
opening now, and even come out to get sunflower hearts x3 I'm so
proud!
Wednesday was a busy day. Dad and I were supposed to going out to Derby for
an arranged flight he got for Christmas, but the weather wasn't quite
right so as I was up and I'd managed to get the day off we went out
for a tiki tour anyway XD
Dad suggested Llangollen, his go to spot for days out, and I
usually try to steer him into something else cause it feels like we
always go there XD But I thought that I've not been there for a while
now so away we went. We had a really good day too! We checked out all
the usual spots and yeah the weather wasn't always at it's best but we
had a good day exploring and seeing what we could find x3
Dad managed to rearrange his flight for Friday, which luckily I
already had off work. We set off pretty early and ate some breakfast
sandwiches in the car on the way there x3 Dad's Christmas present was
a 30 minute microlight flight and he seemed to really enjoy it! He saw
some good countryside and got to try an experience he'd not done
before.
The flight gave him an idea of what to explore next and we headed
to a local town he'd flown over...and the name slips my mind. It was a
lovely little town though, but we weren't parked in a great spot so
moved on to look at a place called Dovedale. It was very similar to
some Shropshire beauty spots, but of course it's always fun to explore
somewhere new x3
We moved onto a beautiful proper English village called Ilam then.
This is the kind of place people imagine when you talk about England I
think, just look at it! There was also a national trust manor house
there which we checked out, as the gardens were free to get in X3 The
sun was out in full strength by now though and it was really sapping
our energy, so we headed back to the river that ran through the town
and found a nice shady tree to sit under- where we promptly fell
asleep for 20 minutes XD
On our way back towards home we spotted a random car park in the
middle of nowhere, so out of curiosity we went to see what it was
about and found this massive ex-train tunnel! We were not expecting
that XD It was a good way to finish off our day of exploring though x3
Today was our local area's funday. It's always quite a small affair,
but I love that they put the effort into putting it on, even though we
haven't always got the best reputation as an estate :x It started out
raining but luckily brightened up to give them a lovely day for a
fete-like event x3 After me and Dad were done checking it out, we went
cherry hunting around the estate. It always astounds me that people
don't realise that cherries off a tree are the same things they buy in
the shops, but I'm glad as this way I get to eat them all! (Okay I'll
share with Dad & Face ;p) This year has a bumper crop going on too so
I'm soon going to have more than I can manage I think XD
Have you had a good week? Get much exploring done? ;3

These photos all look like they should be postcards! I really like the one with the hula hooping kid too which is strange for me. You've really caught the atmosphere though.
