Nate the Great

Today we had the pleasure of spending the day with my cousin nate who together with his wife and her grandmother are spending a week in london. We had originally planned to go down to london but they decided to come up to sunny leicester to see something of the countryside. See the countryside we did but mainly through the winsdshield wippers of the car! We had a great day planned-pub lunch, walking in bradgate with the pups and generally catching up. We did the pub lunch, we did the catching up but the walk in bradgate was shorter and soggier than planned. We had only been there about 20 minutes when the heavens opened. We soldiered on for a little while but it wasn't long before we had to admit defeat. We drove around for a little while then headed back hear to dry off. Sam and Nate spend hours putting together hot wheels games and playing them, I am not sure who was more excited when they finally got swamp beast back together-sam or nate!! I think they would still be up there now if nate hadn't had to go back to london tonight. As a special treat we ordered a gourmet meal for dinner-fish and chips!! Don't laugh-you don't really get fish and chips back home so this was a real treat. We really had a ball spending the day with Nate and the dogs adored him, especially Miko. On the way back from the station sam asked several tme why nate didn't live closer and could we move near him!!
