What a bank holiday weekend that was. Sunshine EVERY day!
It was the first bank holiday in a long time, that we really did get to enjoy the heat.
We made every effort to go out and explore. Fish and chips by the seaside, a proper meal at a restaurant eating indoors (we were half in and half out as the bi folding doors were open to the terrace overlooking the sea but still, indoorsish) and we also went to the cinema.
We booked a table at a restaurant called Aurum Southend, it’s located on the Clifton Terrace, Southend. Here you have properties overlooking the seafront which are very Victorian and still ooze so much history today. On the corner of this rather long road is the modern hotel Seven within the hotel is Aurum Restaurant. We had a lovely time and really enjoyed the food.
Cinema was good, busy but good. I was surprised at how many people there were, clearly there are times that I am still in pandemic mode and have to remind myself of the new status. We watched a Quiet place 2. The night before we watched A quiet place the first movie, to remind ourselves of what happened (We actually watched number 1 in the cinema when it was first released) I am so glad we caught up because it was so easy to join everything together watching the second one so soon after the first. It’s a must see!
Over the bank holiday, I have been preparing the launch of the Haemochromatosis charity t-shirts. They look great and I am so proud of myself.
When I take the time out and reflect, I realise how far I have come. I am giving myself some praise here, rarely do I do that but I am so so proud of these charity t-shirts. It means a lot. I am very grateful.
