Time with the folkes

This week was to be a packed agenda of training and more training. I don’t think I barely have a day without any training until November at least. So knowing that my energy reserves would be required for the delegates in the training room, decided that the weekend needed to be less than energetic.

Saturday afternoon, having enjoyed a lovely lie in I made my way in the car around the North Circular and stopped off at Edmonton for a quick fly around Costco. It wasn’t that I so much needed anything but its always good to wander around and see what kind of deals and bargains you can find. We all love a bargain don’t we? Plus I managed to find the CrockerPot Slow Cooker at some £25 less than they were charging in Sainsbury’s.

From Costco I took the short drive down through the Abbey to my parents home where not only were they waiting in for me but also my Brother, Sister in Law, Nephew and Cousin. My newphew is not yet 2 years old and hardly knows me as every time I am at family events all of the girls fuss around and the boys never get a see in. So he stood there and looked at me with these eyes that were all inquisitive and almost saying “Who the heck are you?”. Of course he remembers the fabulous airplane I bought him at Christmas that he can sit on, which apparently was his favourite Christmas gift.

It was good to see the folks again. I almost felt obliged to go as it has been so long since I saw them last.

Came home around 7PM and spent the rest of the night at home.
Sunday I only made my way out of the flat to put the rubbish out and to nip very quickly to Sainburys to buy some Stewing Steak and rooted vegetables. Well I needed to try out the new Crockerpot right? Needless to say the slow cooked stew was divine. Must try a lamb shank next time.
