We've got a week off work - hooray! So we have just spent a couple of days up at Rutland Water, which is about an hour away from Bedford. Those of you with long memories will recall that we stayed there on the first night of our honeymoon and resolved to come back again. We wimped out of camping as we thought it would be too cold, although in the end the weather was lovely. We stayed in a very nice B&B, visited the sculpture garden at Burghley house, a falconry centre, Oakham and Uppingham for shopping and tea shops and cycled all the way around the reservoir (23 miles) on a tandem - my knees are now very sore!
The next couple of days will be spent in Bedford before we head North for the brass Band nationals (and a visit to Chris and Sian). The plan is to finally strip the turquoise paint off the living room fireplace - wish us luck...
Tim tries to ride a tandem on his own - note that I sat at the back so the seat is a little low for him!
