For me, I always wake up really hungover and then the realisation of work sets in later and its just a bit meh.
But, on this occasion it wasn't so bad at all! I mean, I did wake up feeling pretty rough in the end but managed to shake it off and make us all a fry up and again, out into the sunshine!
I am so glad Antony returned the set of table and chairs for outside because the new ones are so much better (obviously) and we've used them every day since! It's been so nice. Especially as there's been 10 of us at certain points and my house isn't huge!
Anyway, so back to Sunday. We spent most of the day chilling in the garden, talking about the usual, weather, holidays, serial killers.. you know.
We then all bundled into the cars to go and visit Runnymede Air force Memorial. It was pretty incredible to be honest.
The view from the top was awesome! You could see Windsor Castle and Heathrow.
Obviously, it's an awful reason as to why it exists but I also thought it was such a lovely way to remember those who fought for us. We had a wander round for a while and Antony was giving me a History lesson.. I should have listened in school really!
We then left to go to the Magna Carta but that was closed, so we just went for a walk around. We did look at the 'Jurors' which I googled as I couldn't explain what they were: ' Twelve intricately worked bronze chairs stand together on this ancient meadow. Each chair incorporates symbols and imagery representing concepts of law and key moments in the struggle for freedom, rule of law and equal rights. The Jurors is not a memorial, but rather an artwork that aims to examine the changing and ongoing significance and influences of Magna Carta.'
They were really cool! And now I really want to learn more about this kind of thing.. I want to go back to school to be honest and really concentrate because I feel like I didn't make the most of it at all.
We were all feeling pretty tired now so we headed back home.
Connor used to be a chef and so offered to make us all a cheesy, creamy, spinachy, leeky, amazing pasta bake. Omg it was incredible! And I have it tonight too as there was loads left!
So, we ate this delicious meal and then it was time for Connor and his girlfriend Emily to leave. I really hate this part..
We said our goodbyes and my dad dropped them to the train station.
Feeling really tired after a weekend of drinking in the sun, we pretty much all went to bed when my dad got back. I slept so awfully as all I could think about was going back to work and routine.. was dreaming about making salads for lunches.
Anyway, so it's Monday morning and I'm feeling a little bit sad as when I get home after work, my house is going to be empty and quiet. I absolutely love seeing my family but having to say bye again really sucks when they live so far away!
We really did have such an amazing weekend! So many laughs were had and memories were made. It's been so so much fun and I want to re-do it all.. but maybe tomorrow so I can catch up on some sleep first.
