It's been over a week since my last blog upload, in my last I mentioned that I was looking forward to Maggi's visit. October 24th finally arrived and a little after 11 am Maggi called to say she was on her way and on the M6 and that her Sat Nav calculated that her arrival time would be 2:51 pm, this I thought was a little optimistic as it is around 232 miles and Maggi is not a fast driver even if the journey is all motorway. So imagine my surprise to have her arrive at 3:01 just 10 minutes later than the Sat Nav predicted.
As we (Hazel and myself) had a week of work it was planed just to take things easy and rest and so the first couple of days we all just chilled. When Maggi arrived she gave me a American BTB version of Doris which is so different from the UK one and I gave Maggi a goodie bag I'd made up for her of bears and enamel badges from the Heros and Villains event. On Sunday we took a trip out to the local HobbyCraft super store. Now Hazel like our good friend Lesley likes to make personalised cards and needed some blanks and other bits for making this years Xmas cards, it would be so easy to spend a fortune with so many goodie to choose from. Maggi like us is a person that likes to give presents so when she presented Hazel with a super gadget called "The Craft Room Multi-tool" by Helix she was over the moon and the fact that you can add to it's embossing boards etc gives me a few ideas for my own Christmas presents to Hazel, something that I always find a headache to know what to buy her. I'll post some pictures later of some of the resulting cards from Hazel first tires with the new gadget.
Monday afternoon was something completely out of the ordinary for me, Maggi likes the odd game of Bingo which would not be on my list of things to do but as the weather was a bit rough it was in the dry so we went along for the local Gala to spend what I can only say was a interesting time ........lol well I won £5 so there was a bit of excitement. Tuesday we went out to a local Garden centre that has expanded over the years to a location for every from flowers to gifts to fresh vegetables, butchers and pet store they even have a book store of sorts. From there it was a pub lunch before heading home. Wednesday was a chill day. Thursday was the trip back to Manchester. The week had past far to quickly.
And today being Monday it was back to work.
