What a different weekend to last weekend, same place but the weather WOW! Almost 50mph winds and dreadful rain thanks to Storm Ashley but we still had a lovely weekend, thankfully I arrived before it started.
I drove down after our huddle Saturday morning, took me 45 minutes to get from J10 M6 to J8, thankfully after that it was clear, we put the MH on a different pitch so we could have a meal and drink without having to have a taxi or walk far to get back. Sadly the pub we chose didn't live up to our expectations! Chewy steak which I left, this was dealt with badly by the chef who told the waitress to inform me that this cut of beef is chewy! SERIOUSLY lol, I'm like forget it, he went to pay bill and they knocked 10% off the steak - £1.80, ridiculous, then they offered us a free dessert because they could see I wasn't pleased, we declined, I wanted a dinner not a pudding! The owner then bought me a free drink over which just made things worse tbh, we drank up and left, I gave the waitress a tip because it wasn't her fault and I could tell she was mortified with the situation. As we're almost back out the van, a lady came running towards us asking if I was the one who returned the steak, I'm assuming she was also the owner, I said yes and she went on to apologise and informed me she'd had words with the chef and went to hand me the money for my meal. I said 'it was never about the money, it was the fact the steak wasn't good and she could give the money to the waitress because she'd had to handle the situation' so my dinner Saturday was chips and a few mushrooms and tomatoes lol.
Thankfully we had a dvd to watch in the van because there was no phone/wifi signal either - early night for us!
The wind was dreadful all night and the rain was lashing down, those poor people in the field in tents! Sunday morning we moved the MH early in case the tree by us decided to blow over in the winds. We went back to his regular pitch and spend the rest of the day watching tv and chilling.
We did indulge in crisps so I wasn't on track this weekend at all. Hey Ho, line drawn, back to it, I'm home now and I'm going to chill out for the rest of the day, the jobs can all wait till tomorrow!
I listened to a great audiobook driving down and back, Honeymoon for One by Portia Macintosh, easy read, funny (I even laughed out loud at it) and romance, no depth at all but I'd just done a deep read, I wanted light.
Here's to improving my eating this week, although I'd love a slice of victoria sponge for some reason which is random as I don't really do cake! It'll wear off I'm sure.
Have a great week,
Mwah, luv ya
Love me
