07 August 2007

This is my last day of work [More:]until the 20th! Hooray! I really need some time off.
[I've spent too much time around the same people who are all a bit annoying in different ways / too long waiting for funding so I can get on with building an actual network and I'm sick to death of hearing about money / numbers / bullshit I don't give a fuck about]

I've been emailing my brother, and I'm now cautiously optimistic about the visit.

Thanks to all you MetaChatters who told me to buck up; it was very helpful. My wife and I had a really good talk about it all when she read the thread. Best to keep an open mind.

He and my fatherinlaw are really excited because my brother [a golf writer] got them into The Belfry on Sunday and Monday to play the Brabazon and the PGA course for free (and a free hotel stay). I think that's like £1000 worth of golf. AND, I DON'T HAVE TO GO. WHEEE!

Anyway, here's what I sent...

Musts:
Croft Castle [Sealed Knot - sunday]
Drive through the Cotswolds
Brockhampton Estate
Great Witley
West Midlands Safari Park

The Beach - Gower?

Nearby:
Ludlow
Oxford
Warwick Castle
Hay-on-Wye
Stratford-upon-Avon
Cheltenham

NT:
Hidcote Manor
Croome Park
Berrington hall
Eastnor castle
Shugborough Estate
Hampton Court
Charlecote Park
Hanbury Hall
Blenheim Palace

Churches:
Hereford cathedral
Worcester cathedral
Tewkesbury abbey

Other:
Dean Forest Railway
Clearwell Caves
Dan-yr-Ogof
Puzzlewood
Worcestershire County Museum
Black and White trail



We aren't planning to go to Alton Towers because it's just SO MUCH MONEY and it'll be so crowded... just too much shit to deal with there. Plus, the little kids are too small for it.

So, what am I missing?
Dudley Zoo. I know what an uplifting experience it was for you on your previous visit ;-)

Don't forget a little down time. Otherwise, looks like a nice schedule. Have fun!

Oh, we won't do ALL of that; it's just a list of options.

I don't think we'll go anywhere near Dudley...

I do love you all || It's dawn.
