New wardrobe needed

I  had a real tantrum on Sunday afternoon regarding the contents (or lack of) in my wardrobe!!!! Old, boring, died a death they've been worn that many times clothes limply hanging and with confirmation from mum of how dire it was, there was only one thing for it.
Monday - Birmingham = topshop dash on lunch
Tuesday - Derby = topshop dash on lunch
Wednesday - Nottingham = topshop dash on lunch
Thursday - Holiday = New look dash with mum pre packing!

Its no where near complete yet but its gradually getting there!!!!!!

Tourist Nottingham

As I earlier mentioned in my olde tripe post....last weekend we experienced Nottingham as tourists in the company of Ben and Fred. 
Settled in a lovely peaceful part of town, Nottingham castle is nestled alongside the old hospital on Standard Hill overlooking the park and on a day like we had last Saturday (one of those lovely crisp dry autumn mornings) the mass of trees bordering the old building looked gorgeous showing off their golden autumnal shades of reds, browns, yellows and oranges. Cobbled streets wind their way around the grounds with bars such as 'The castle' and "Fathergills' a perfect stop - if you've not already decided to go to the trip. 
Robin stands protecting the castle with masses of crowds hanging around waiting for the next to depart so each can have their photo taken with him - yes of course we did :) 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 



Song of the weekend

Mr YZ - Animals

10 km run in 2 weeks - perfect running track for this weekends runs :)

'The oldest inn in England'

26 years in Nottingham and never been to 'the trip'....Ben and Fred came for the weekend last week and believe it or not was the first time I'd been to this iconic pub - what a great excuse :)

Standing at the bottom of Nottingham castle, Ye olde trip to Jerusalem dates back to the 1800s. With rooms built into the rocks, low ceilings and carved in sketched writing in the roof its definitely kept its authentic charm. 

Real ales are the main speciality on the menu and in my case one of those pubs where you have to have a lager over a vodka!!!!!! Cant make your mind up? Try the 'trip n mix' a selection of three halves of your choice served in the traditional pint pot (the ones with the handles and dimples :) ) and presented on a slate board - sadly none of us opted for this but definitely on my next 'trip' (sorry about the pun....iI couldn't resist) if for nothing else just to get a photo :) :) 

 
 
 
 
 
 
We could all of put bets on Ben having this and guess what - we would of won :)
