Firstly I must apologise for missing out yesterday - good intentions and all that...so I will fill you in with Monday first!
I arrived at the coach station with plenty of time to spare - the coach came in and left at 7.10am...
I knew we had a long journey ahead but didn't realise we would make stops at Scunthorpe, Doncaster, Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby & Leicester - unsure which order but Leicester was the ONLY place we picked up passengers - so Hull to Leicester just 5 passengers then it filled up leaving just a few spare seats - call me stubborn but I didn't offer to move my bags from the seat next to me!
Arrived at Birmingham station and H A T E D it there - felt insecure and uncomfortable - we had got in 15 mins early which meant I had 70 minutes waiting for my connecting coach - and what a nightmare that was - a new driver who didn't know the route so had a co driver but they talked and missed almost every turn which meant I was around 25 mins late meeting Jae...
Once at Jae's house it was great meeting her hubby Stu, daughter Charlotte and son Joe, everyone made me so welcome - and I have to say I settled in and felt at home from walking through the door!
Had a wonderful meal then Jae's sister Dor came round and we had a catch up, again I felt I had known Dor for always!!
Jae & I spent all evening in the craft room, catching up as well r Girls having a play with the hoards of stuff Jae has in her mega tidy and organised craft room....We then went down for an hour and finally went up to bed around 1am - knackered!!
TUESDAY...
Got up bright and early after a good nights sleep! Jae did the B I G G E S T brekkie which I did eat but it filled me for the entire day!
We went over to the Glitter Girls place this morning - it was a lovely place and I'm not sure why but the lady serving decided we could have some discounted prices - so we shopped like it was going out of fashion - after over an hour in there we headed to the pub!!! When I say we its Jae, Dor her son Luke and me....it was a lovely few hours having a great laugh - but I cant understand that accent of theirs!!!
This afty we have crafted again and after tea went across to Dor's for a cuppa....
I have had a wonderful day again....
Tomorrow we have lots of things to do - but that will be revealed tomorrow night!
Night
