Back home again in Sunderland after what seems like a 'whirlwind' visit to Bristol to see family. Everyone seemed in good spirits and content. Thomas has started school and has made plenty of friends, as we missed his birthday in July we took him to 'The Entertainer' toy shop just outside the Galleries Shopping Centre and bought him some new trains for his Thomas The Tank Engine wooden train set. I think he was very pleased with what he had as he took them to bed with him the same night. Isabel is getting along nicely, her speech is wonderful and she appears to have a very logical mind. Noah's speech like Isabel's is great and he's very bright too!
Pauline finally got to see a lot more of Bath, though I did find the 'open top' bus tours a bit disappointing, she also got to visit Cheddar Gorge again. We had a nice surprise when we went to pay the hotel bill too. We originally booked a five night stay which would have cost us £305.00 but about a fortnight ago I had an e mail from Brains Brewery with a special 'book a night get a night free' deal for September. I naturally cancelled the booking I had and rebooked starting a day earlier. Anyway I went to the reception this morning expecting to pay £305.00 as one night was free but hoping it would only be around £250.00 (2 nights at full price in Sept so 2 free nights allowed) only to be given a bill for just over £200.00. The manager had given us 3 nights free as the offer had been repeated for October, so that money has paid the diesel bill.
We did go to The Bear pub in Hotwells last night hoping to bump into an old mate of mine but there was no sign of him so we went to Ashton Gate and gobbled down some KFC, it was lovely I am now waiting to see when I can arrange my next visit, hopefully before or around Xmas.
