I'm full of cold!
The first (official) day of the Autumn half term and I'm full of cold - bah humbug.
Can you tell I don't do 'ill' all that well?
Fortunately it held off for the weekend just gone as we headed west on Saturday for a very special occasion. My little sister's big birthday bash!
I'll spare you the details and silly pictures of drunken maidens (not I - I was very good) but will love you and leave you with a few (literally) pictures I did take on our child free walk into Guildford along the canal.
If you walk over the wooden bridge (just a name it's not really wooden!) that takes you over the A3 you will find a little tow path that skirts you past all the industrial bit and on into town. Or you could find the tiny car park on Walnut Tree Close. Ten-ish cars max.
It's a pretty little walk or stroll, depending on how slow you want to take it and this weekend the sunlight was bouncing off the water making everything sparkle and shimmer.
Not much shopping was done due to being unfamiliar with the town centre. After many years of living there I had forgotten where to find the bargains though I did have a blast down memory lane with all the places (pubs and clubs) I used to frequent.
And a very lovely time was had, even though a very regrettable - elbow to elbow - meal (and wait) in the Jamie Oliver restaurant. When did a top chef turn into a chain?!
Anyhoo - I'm off to curl up with my hot water bottle with lashings of cuddles, tea and sympathy.

I loved your beautiful pictures of your weekend walk, Nina...such wonderful light effects on these autumn days. So sorry to hear you've caught a cold...stay cosy, and get well soon.

You always have the nicest photos. Glad you had a good weekend. I woke with a cold last Monday and finally feel better. I know how you feel. Get as much rest as you can. As always, I am looking forward to your next post.
Sorry to hear about your cold. Hope you get better soon! The tow path is pretty - I have only been the once even though I have to go to Guildford most days for work purposes. We sometimes don't appreciate things that are close at hand!

What rotten luck to get sick just in time for half term. I wish you well soon. Lovely walk, gorgeous pictures as usual.
& a hot toddy (& a good afternoon film too?- after all you are 'poorly')
I hope you feel better soon Nina! I’ve got a horrible feeling I'm going down with something.

Hope you will be feeling better soon.
Are you feeling better today Nina? I am sending you a hot chocolate and marshmallows to toast by the fire,

Beautiful photos. Hope you're feeling much better today x
Oh dear Nina, what horrid bugs are infesting your body! I do hope you are very soon on the mend and thank you for the stunning photos xox
Oh, what lovely pictures, I like the first one very much, it's kind of mystic!
I hope you will be feeling better very soon to enjoy the rest of the time...

Glad you had a fab time in Guildford Nina, and that your little Sis had a super Birthday Bash!
Sorry you weren't feeling so great. Always seems the way. The kids were all in stages throughout the half term and I cannot stop sneezing. I am a bear with a sore head when I get a cold, I really am useless!
Have a happy monday! xxxxx
