Quiet Weekend

We had a very quiet weekend this weekend.  I started off going out on Friday night to The Old Post Office, I had a bottle of wine, and although not hungover on Saturday, I wasn't particularly bright.  After deliberating what to do, we decided on a trip to Skipton.  I opened up Tom's first savings account last week at the Skipton Building Society so we raided his money boxes and pulled out all the notes - he had £110!  He took them to desk and put them into his account.  Trying to teach him about saving.

We also wanted to have lunch at The Woolly Sheep which won best pub of the year last year.  We weren't disappointed.  Cosy pub, roaring fire, interesting beer, good service and interesting menu.  We then did a bit more exploring, found the canal some more interesting shops (Skipton doesn't believe in chain stores, meaning there is a real good mix of shops in town).

The rain appeared so we decided to call it a day and head home.  It was Ingleton Pantomine in the evening.  This year it was Sleeping Beauty.  The seating is done so that children sit at the front and adults at the back.  Tom took his place, and guess who was next to him - only Isabella - perfect!

The panto was fab.  Considering it was a small village production I thought it was brilliant.  Lots of local 'in jokes' mostly jibes at Bentham.  The Dame was brilliant, dance sequences good, children enthusiastic.  Tom was one of the first children up on the stage and the first one in the queue for sweets!  Oh and Matt won a box of 3 bottles of Hawkshead beers in the raffle, so all in all it was a great evening and very cheap at only £12 for all of us.

Sunday we had a very quiet day.  In the morning we went to visit the Atkinsons in their new house (well extended house).  It wasn't very recognisable, but lovely.  It's going to be fantastic when finished.  The kids all played nicely together and we were able to sit down and chat which was nice.

We then went to Ireby for lunch and headed home as it was very cold and windy.  We spent the afternoon watching Jungle Book.  Tom enjoyed it - especially The Bare Necessities but he did get upset when Shere Khan appeared but he didn't cry for long and on the whole gave it a good review.   We then had a very decadent tea of roast duck.
