Canterbury

Colin and I spent the weekend in Canterbury because I had to attend a speed awareness course for being very naughty speeding!!!!!! It was a very good course I have to say, we had to do a practical as well and I learnt things I never knew. There were 19 of us on this day course and our ages ranged from 25 to past retirement so I didn't feel too guilty. Anyway, Colin spent the time wandering around Canterbury and visited the Cathedral which he really enjoyed, he also got talking to a Bishop but it hasn't changed him in anyway. The picture of the shop really does have wonky windows and door, I thought Colin had had one too many pints in the pub while I was not with him but he assures me that is what the shop looks like. The weather was pretty awful while we were there but it didn't stop us going out.

we took Chris and Thu out for a meal to thank them for letting us have their beautiful house for the two weeks.

Early in the holiday, Colin and I enjoyed a relaxing time in the pool jacuzzi at the house.

somem of us girls and Hayden at various places we went to.

Lazy river

This is lazy river at the resort and was great fun, Marisa came in the water with Hayden just for a couple of pictures as Hayden was not too sure of it and didn't seem to like being there. We also went into the pool at the house one evening when it was lovely and warm.

our Florida holiday

Well, we are back in good old cold, wet and dark England after having had good weather in Florida, it was in the early 80 degrees after the first 3/4 days. Before the good weather, we had the tale end of a hurricane that had hit Louisiana, it was very windy and turned to rain for 36 hours but then the sun shone. We did the tourist things but only managed to take in Gata Land, Sea World, Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios, to be honest, that was enough and very exhausting. It was great meeting up with Marisa and Hayden and having Jamie and cousin Ron with us as well. We stayed in our friend's house near Kissimee which backed onto a championship golfcourse, we decided not to have a round of gold in case we showed ourselves up!!! The pool at the house was lovely which we took advantage of and also used the resorts swimming pool which was called lazy river, I will blog some pictures on to show you what it was like, it really was a lazy river but so much fun, even Ron got into it and he hates swimming pools. Hayden behaved really well and by the end of the holiday we got him to say 'cheers' at the same time as lifting his cup and clinking it against ours, not sure that was a good idea.
