Have been having some great weekends over the last couple of months!! (Haven't updated this very recently!)

Pete came and visited us in Bath for a couple of weeks while he was in the UK, which was great! And a great excuse for me to see some of the sights in Bath that I hadn't got round to seeing yet! It was a week of visitors, as we also met up with the McGregors (Ange's mum and dad) and their friends, who were all over on the rugby world cup tour. They were in Bath for a couple of days, and then we met up with them for a drink before the quarter final which we went to as well in Cardiff!

The Crescent on a beautiful day

Roman baths

Us at the millenium stadium (before the game). Amazing stadium, felt like we were so close to the ground!

Another weekend we went to visit Westonbirt Arboretum, which I've been meaning to go to for ages... as it happens, it was good we waited til autumn to go, as it was amazing to see all the beautiful autumn colours.
And another weekend Nath organised a surprise trip to the Eden Project, which was great. Just an amazing site. Wandered about the domes, and just had a pretty chilled out weekend.

Bensons

We went to visit the Bensons (Mike's my cousin once removed) in Sussex for the long weekend, which was great - lovely to have quite a low key one - we went for a few walks and just hung out for a bit.

On the way there we went past stonehenge - which was quite funny actually, to just see it sitting in a field like that

We went for a walk up on the South downs, and came across some Paragliders.

We also went with Michael and Mary to church, went for a pub lunch, had some swims in the neighbours pool, and went for a walk in the 'forest' (with no trees!).

And on the way home we decided on a whim to stop by Brighton (half an hour out of the way) - which was fun, and funny to see the stereotypes confirmed!

We also stopped at a random village fair, where there were lots of old cars.

Dublin

Ahh, I'm falling seriously behind on these. OK, Dublin...

We were staying in Trinity College right in the middle of the city, which was great, and were in one of the tourist attractions which we later did a tour around!

Did the obligatory guiness brewery tour - which was really very well done, lots of interactive video presentations and very interesting... and on the top floor got to pour our own guiness and went up to a bar with an amazing view over the city.

We also did the Jameson Whiskey tour... which also included a free glass at the end to taste test.

Trinity college where we stayed.

Just sort of wandered about the city and around the temple bar area. Good fun.

Nana's visit

Nathan's Nanna came to visit us for a week or so - unfortunately I had to work so couldn't go up to London with them but we did lots in Bath as well...



We went and did one of those red bus tours of Bath, went out to the river, went out for fish and chips, and went to the Raven for a pub meal, they came and met me in Bristol for lunch one day and went to the Wesley chapel, and we all just spent lots of time together at one place or another which was really lovely.





We had a bit of a bbq at my place on Sunday, so she could meet some of our friends...
