Free gift

Due to popular demand I would like to introduce you to Car Monkey. This was my free gift. There are many things wrong with this. Firsly, why does a thirty something year old woman need a monkey? Secondly, is this really a monkey? What's going on around its' neck? A friend of mine has suggested it could have a hidden camera in it? Or have a secret stash of drugs. I can confirm that neither of these theories appear to be true. So what type of monkey is this? And should it really be allowed to roam free in the Uk? Haven't they seen the film 'Outbreak'?

Moving on from Car Monkey, I have had a lovely day down in the Cotswolds. I spent the day walking with a friend. We took a picnic lunch and headed out with our map and rucksacks ready for anything. Well almost. We didn't factor in a herd of angry bullocks that considered charging at us. This gang of hooligans blocked our path and we then spent the next hour walking round different fields looking for an alternative route. This involved climbing over barbed wire fences, scambling under gates and battling through nettles. It appeared that farmers only used one gate in and out of fields and that didn't help us. Eventually we found an alternative and made it back to Bourton-on-water just in time for scones and tea. Perfect!

This was followed by an evening of cards and general chat.

Tomorrow there will be a more creative blip. I almost feel like apologising for this, but I also felt it was important to share the mystery and horror of Car Monkey.

Happy Friday everyone.
