Day off

Today my husband and I had a day off together, we have been looking forward to this day for weeks. Since changing my job, tha amount of time we have off together is so little.
We got up early, made a picnic, went and sorted Mouse out then set off for a National Trust property which is about an hours drive from home.
The thermometer in the car said it was 25 degrees, we wandered around the gardens then found a quiet spot to have lunch, talk about a private air display, we sat where no one else was walking and were given a fly past by Buzzards, fly catchers catching flies to feed to their young, black birds and an Apache helo!
When we had eaten we walked through a meadow which was heaving with butterfly's, literally hundreds of them. At the other end of the meadow we found a river which we walked along until we found ourselves back where we started.
After a cup of tea we set off for home stopping on the way at a lovely little pub for a drink, (I only had a lime and soda!) Then on to feed and water Mouse for the evening.
To top off the day we got take away fish and chips and a lovely bottle of red (Which I am enjoying as I write this!!)
