Oh no gin! Nottingham is one of those places that seems really difficult to get to from anywhere... Though not from Sheffield, obviously... At least you had an understanding conductor! I have a fear of doing that, so I usually can't fall asleep on trains... Sounds like you had a good day though.
I can't cope with the smell of lush shops. They make me 🤧. Which is a shame, as the products are supposed to be lovely (I'm also not 100% happy with their ethics... but that's another thing). DS and DH went in one the other week and both came out blue from one of the Bath bomb samples they were shown... Good sized sample, though!
soy - your poor DH. Hope he recovers soon. I still have flashbacks to driving lessons with my DF. I think it was immensely stressful for us both tbh! Didn't last long... Ended up throwing £££at a driving instructor, as I just couldn't cope! So I'm very impressed.
soups - hope you have a brilliant time! I love VW.. so v jealous (the first CD I bought with my own money was one of her songs... I was an odd child..) Also, I know exactly what you mean about staying in hotels by yourself. I secretly love going for work... especially if I've been organised and done the work I need to beforehand, and don't have meetings/socialising to do. Love sitting and people watching in the bar, or using the pool, or just lounging in the bed watching trashy telly... Luxury.
ella - poor you! Hope you're feeling better soon. And yy to taking care of yourself... Sounds like you're a bit run down.
trader yes, I have the wren and love it. Seriously - size down though... Hang on.. I'll try a photo in the next post... Not tried the joyce though.
