2 Years

Carnelian, apparently it's good for your head...

Well, it's that time of year again, and I'm not talking just about April Fools Day... Phil and I have have been seeing each other for 2 years now, and my God how the time has flown...

So in order to celebrate such delights we have a very nice day pottering around the countryside and doing stuff we both enjoy. First of all is a trip to Bourton On The Water. Phil has now designed a new layout for the train layout which maximises the number of circuits his big train can run on, and so we go to the train shop in Bourton to pick up all the new bits he needs in order to create it. He also gets a little diesel shunter train thing and picks up another controller (since we now have 3 circuits that need electricity) and the bits needed to motorise all the hundreds of points that his new layout includes.

So with a hefty bill paid for that lot of stuff we then have a gander around the rest of the shops where I pick up a present for my friend who's birthday party I'm going to next week in London, and also we drop into the Rock Shop where I get a Carnelian stone for my friend who is in hospital. You can't take flowers or any of that guff into the HDU so I figure the rock would be a good choice since it's suppose to have healing powers for the brain, and it looks pretty too.

We then head home and Phil makes himself busy by dismantling his old track and rebuilding it to make his new layout, and I do some more cross stitch. Both of those things while away enough time to see us through to about 8 pm where we then go out for an Indian meal in town - and I gotta say, it was top notch, I've never tasted such a good naan bread ever! And besides that it was nice to go out for the evening. I can't really remember when we last did that as a treat.

So, happy 2 years to us! I wonder what the next year will bring...
