so, I’ve been in Barnsley for the last week or so, as last week it was my mothers 50th birthday :)

I came back on Monday, on the train, which took longer than normal as there are, or at that point were, no trains between Lincoln and Sheffield (due to a problem with the track at Kiviton, caused by the floods). So i got the train to don caster, and then on to meadowhall, which actually turned out to be quicker than it usually is. got picked up from the station, by my mum and my brother David, and then headed off to see my niece Katie. She's nearly one now, her birthday is at the end of august, but more about her later

Tuesday, was my mum's birthday. Me and my 2 brothers clubbed together to buy my mum a diamond necklace. For the day itself we (Me, my mum and David) went out to wetherspoons, in the town center where we met up with Gaynor, Katie and Bex, and slowly but surely made our way through the wetherspoons coupon book. Me and my brother had the 2 steaks + a bottle of wine deal, which cost £14.99 :) We stayed there for most of the afternoon, although we did move form upstairs to downstairs for some unknown reason. Didn’t do to much when i got home, as i was shattered, and ended up going to bed around 10

Wednesday, we (Me and my mum) were meant to be going out with Katie, Gaynor and Bex, but Gaynor was feeling a little under the weather (she blamed it on the wine) so Katie and Bex came round to my parents house for a bit, while Gaynor recovered

On Thursday, we went to Cannon Hall. Now for those who don’t know Cannon Hall is a country house museum set in 70 acres of historic parkland, and is about 10-15 mins from junction 37 of the M1, which is near where we live.

 

One of the great things they have there is the farm where you can go around and feed and stroke the animals. We first had lunch on the grounds, before going into the park. Going round the farm was pretty funny as Katie is beginning to talk, she can say daddy and a few other words, and whilst at the farm she was almost saying "What’s That" :)

After we went round and stroked all the animals, we went down in to the house it self, for a bit of a look around, and then headed down to feed the ducks.

Friday, my mum had a BBQ in the evening to celbrate her B'day, which she is going to celebrate until september. And at the weekend, i did bugger all, just layed aroud the house, and went to vist my grandparents
