Chill out and surprises

Had a lovely weekend down at Lynton in Devon with Fliss' parents for her mum's birthday, some nice walking, read a couple of books, had some space too down on the beach to myself and in this nice little beach chapel down there...it was really chilled and a good break!

Then yesterday I had an awesome surprise - haven't been surprised like this for ages! Some friends came round for a kind of semi surprise dinner which was great, Fliss cooked Moroccan chicken tagine in this funky dish she was bought for her birthday a few weeks ago: then we all went out - I thought to go and see a house near Saffron Walden which Alan and Nadia wanted to look at - obviously i'm very gullible! - we got to this village called Hemel and they suggested we popped into the pub first for a drink; so we did, and it turns out it was all a big hoax to get me to this pub where Brooks Williams was playing a gig! - they already had the tickets and everything! I was totally speechless, I just looked around slightly dumbfounded, "Whaa...?!"; good friends know how to surprise you well! We had a great evening, amazing music, it was terrific.
