Busy Busy Busy, all hands on deck.

I've just sat down to have some 'me' time, and this is the first chance to get near the blog for nearly 2 weeks. So I hear you cry, what's been going on?

First of all after my last post, about lifts and other things I worked the entire weekend. Getting back at 11pm and then 6pm, at both times knackered. Then we had another bank holiday, in which I spent some time furvishly planning a very impromptu camping trip with a good mate of mine. We ended up just within Devon near Lynton and Lynmouth, at a very nice campsite on top of exmoor. So we spent a very pleasant few days wandering our way around the Devonshire and Somerset borders. Drinking too much, and not having to go near a supermarket once. We ate only from individual butchers, bakers and grocers... And I have to admit to loving it. The choice, and expertise that you just don't get with conglomerates these days.
We went out to small villages to find nice pubs, we used the West Somerset Railway to save on driving, we even got near to the beach. All this was washed down with large quantities of Ice Cream. You have to love Mr Whippy.

After we got back its been work of some sort or another. Revision - exams now under a fortnight away, and work at the hotel, which has now become easier as we have a full department again, after begins chronically understaffed for ages.

Yesterday to give myself a break I decided to get the garden furniture back out after its 8 month hibernation. I spent a pleasant hour putting the table, bench and chairs back together. Now all my mum has seemed to have done is lie out there for the last few days.

Right gtg, revision calls.
