Crossing the Bridge

I've written about our magnificent bridge before. I'm always in such awe of it and love going across, enjoying the view and pretending with Imogen that we're flying.

It's quite breathtaking , the size of it, and was built before I moved here. It must have been quite a sight watching being erected.

The views as you travel over are wonderful

Certainly not done justice by my point and snap camera from within the car on such a dreary day.

We were just nipping over the bridge to visit a garden centre in Brigg. It's an enormous place and we spent a lovely couple of hours wandering around, being careful of the wildlife

Popped in the restaurants for a lovely cup of tea and slice of cake, and visited the Christmas grottos, that  have such beautiful decorations and ideas... unlike these two...

The rest of the weekend has been spent indoors, cuddling up together

and relaxing

Our Little Bridge

What beautiful weather we're having, it's been far too nice to stay at home... we keep finding so many jobs here that need doing! Yesterday we took the dogs down to the Foreshore. It isn't a place they can run about freely, but is a nice walk for them and us, and the views of the Humber Bridge are so good here - right underneath it. I love our little bridge (once the largest single span suspension bridge in the world), when we go away, when we cross the bridge I always have such a sense of coming home, it feels good :)

Honey enjoyed her walk

Andy was up first thing this morning' car had been loaded last night, ready to go to a car boot. We had so much stuff that needed to go. He managed to sell quite a bit, but there's still a fair bit to take to the charity shops tomorrow. When he came home we were all set up and ready for a nice family barbeque. I made a big potato salad, and we had chicken, burgers and sausages. Even though he was tired, Andy wanted to do the grilling, Adam had to content himself with being the sous chef :)

Such a lovely day in so many ways. We ended up sitting round Imogen's paddling pool with our feet in the cool water, the dogs were happy chewing on their pigs ears and sleeping

Andy gradually gave in to the tiredness (after a cuddle with Gary) and had a well deserved rest... sleep!

While I cleaned up...
