Sightseeing

We're housesitting for Niki's boss at the mo, it's pretty wicked having a gorgeous big house to ourselves, well nearly, it comes complete with a cat! Minnie is luvly, 14 years old but looks young still, she's very affectionate so I've really been enjoying having cuddles. I'm such a cat person!

Friday night we went to Anna & Derek's house for a BBQ and many drinks. They leave in a couple of weeks so it was good to spend some time with them. Niki had to work on Saturday, driving for over an hour each way and shovelling grain for 6 hours or so. wasn't so fun with a slight hang-over! But he survived and it's all about earning the pingers! Meanwhile, i stayed in bed til 10 and met up with Lee-Ann in the city for a spot of shopping around lunchtime. The trip wasn't too successful with Lee-Ann buying nothing, however i did come away with a £10 pair of cute white & pink casual sneakers! Saturday night we were knackered so just stayed in and watched a dvd...first time we've had the opportunity to do that for ages.

Sunday we took Niki's work van and ventured out of London to see some sights. First we went to Stonehenge which is one of the wonders of the world...or something like that. A big mystery as to how they would've moved the rocks there and what it was used for etc etc. It was kind of cool walking around it, and lovely being in the countryside! Albeit very cold!!!!!

After that we drove to Bath which took longer than expected (after a few wrong turns!). Unfortunately it was 3pm when we arrived and cold & rainy. We still explored a bit though. Bath's quite pretty and famous for it's huge amount of historical places, museums, churches etc. There are these "roman baths" with natural hot water springs, but that was going to cost £20ea or something stupid so we gave that a miss...seen enough of that in Rotorua bro! At about 6ish we found a cosy pub to have a drink in, hot choccy for me, soo cold! Only cost £2.42 for a pint of beer and my hot choc, cheapest ever...we've gotta get out of London! Although then u earn less too I guess.
