Wow what a great weekend we’ve had.
Straight from work on Friday, Michele and Josh picked me up in Manchester after work and we were off to join my best mate and his family at their caravan at Filey, Yorkshire.
Two hours later we were unpacking the car and eager to go, first event our hosts had us down to undertake was a casino night at the owner’s exclusive bar. We were each given £100 of play money to go and use on the roulette table, or the two card tables and as expected none of us came back with any winnings. The winner on the night was a little old granny who won £2700.
The following day we had a wander around the site in Filey to blow the cobwebs away and then we were off up to the owner’s exclusive lounge for a coffee before us four boys were off on a mountain biking session. Little bit tame but we did have two youngsters with us. When we got back to the owner’s lounge Michele and Dawn had polished off a bottle of Rosé wine!
Later that night we were off to the entertainment centre to watch an 80’s tribute band. Couple of beers later we were rocking and singing along.
Today was our last day and after the beers last night I woke knowing I’d had a beer or too! However, there was no lie in organised as Warren had arranged for us to compete in a pedalo race on the lake. Wow that was difficult being a little bit hung over!
Warren and Adam made a poor start and ended up going in the wrong direction, meanwhile Josh and I were heading up the course to the island at the far end of the lake. Next thing Warren and Adam had made a fantastic recovery, and they were alongside us.
Round the island we went Josh and I desperately trying to get back in front.
The pain in my legs was telling me that we were trying hard but not enough.
As we both charged back down the lake, we got a little closer but not enough as they cruised over the finish line a boat length in front of us.
Warren is so competitive just look at him celebrate.
After lunch we were off to Bridlington for a leisurely stroll around the harbour and sea front.
I did manage to get a Cleary win on the Grand National game in the arcade which levelled the weekends sporting events.
A quick drive into the Yorkshire countryside and we had fish and chips at a remarkably busy but popular chippy.
Finally got home absolutely shattered after a fantastic weekend. Many thanks to the Brays for their hospitality we had a wonderful time.
Shame its work tomorrow.
Great write up… I was going to say where are the pictures as I usually read your blog on my phone, but there they are! (I’m reading on the laptop so it is a different GUI).
I would have thought someone ended up in the water?
Weather looks good too.
