Memorandum Monday

The Well it feels like Monday here due to the bank holiday so forgive me for posting on a Tuesday!

This weekend I ticked another thing off my sixteen things to do in 2016 and took my parents and Alex to "Downton Abbey". We had a good look round, got soaking wet in the typical English bank holiday weather and enjoyed a champagne afternoon tea. Definitely a first!



At this point we'd left my mum and dad in the warm and got soaking wet walking around the grounds. We realised we were walking up the same path as Lord Grantham and his dog in the credits so to cheer us up in the rain I got the theme music up on YouTube and Alex and I recreated the scene to music! The couple nearby thought we were slightly mad!!!




The rest of the weekend was full of family, relaxing, good food and playing Rummikub. 

And I learnt a few things about how to approach my PL album this year (having spent a lot of the weekend watching you tube!!) so I'm going to try a new approach of printing photos first and sorting them into pockets rather than work it out as I go along. I've already got January sorted!  Updates to follow...

What have you learnt or done for the first time this weekend? Do tell!

I love the idea of recreating the scene! I wanted to do that with a scene from The Fall here while my boy still has the beard, but he refused. Possibly wise cos it doesn't sound so clever when you write it down. Downton, yes. The Fall, no lol

I bet you're not the first people to do that lol. Glad you had a good weekend despite the weather. :)
