We honeymooned in the Lakes, and from the window of the hotel I could see lots of boulders in the fields cross the lake, so I pointed them out to my (then) new hubby.
Except they weren't boulders, they were sheep. I've never lived it down.

Me and my friend got drunk on a Greek island once (Paros),

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:26

Oh. I hadn't finished.... and fell asleep on this lovely beach. When we woke up in the morning we realised we'd crashed out on a building site 😂😂

shinynewapple21 · 09/04/2021 22:28

Well I e stayed in a hotel next to a building site but never slept on one 🤣

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:28

Hope you're OK Rogue... ❤️❤️

Honeyroar · 09/04/2021 22:30

🤣🤣 You’re all making me feel better. No wonder we all get on! (we honeymooned in the lakes too!).

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:32

Scent of magnolia, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
(sorry to put this one in, but I think the lyrics to this song are incredible, especially with her voice)

The sad and wonderful Strange Fruit, Billie Holliday.. and I agree ❤️❤️

Honeyroar · 09/04/2021 22:33

Fish from Barnsley! 🤣 I’d forgotten that.

Lol we also honeymooned in the Lakes! Just outside Keswick !

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:36

I've never been on a honeymoon!! 😢

But me and an ex fell asleep on another Greek island (the romantic Oia in Satorini) in an abandoned house, and were woken up on the morning by an estate agent showing people around!!
(Why did we sleep there? I don't know. We were young and skint and hadn't sorted out a place to stay 🤪)

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:37

That's so weird that you all honeymooned in the Lakes!!

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:40

No-one got my morning glory this morning...! 🤪

What were the skies like when you were young?
90s

shinynewapple21 · 09/04/2021 22:40

Your holidays sound fun Needtoknow.

The days when you just kipped down anywhere after a few drinks, waking up on someone's floor after a party! Don't think I'd even get down on the floor now Grin

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:45

They were fun at the time. Don't think they suit me either now. Although having said that, any holiday would be paradise right now, even if I woke up in a cement mixer.

My dh tells a story that he woke up after a night out. This is YEARS before he met me. And the world was all kind-of yellow. And he realised he could lift the ceiling above him. And he was in a grit bin. And people on the street were all going to work.

He said he gently lowered the lid again while he figured out what to do

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:57

😂😂😂😂😂 Rogue! especially the lowering the lid again but. 🤣

NeedToKnow101 · 09/04/2021 22:57
