Birthday plans - Round 2

[rich_jacko]

Unfortunately, yesterday's picnic ended up being rained off, but much cake was had at soul_rider and longhairedhippy's anyway. Thanks to everyone who braved the weather and showed up. Thanks also to the Beeb for providing an entire night of sci-fi geekery viewing pleasure :o) Once it eventually got started...

Continuing my birthday tradition of spending my actual birthday going to random places I've never been to before, this year I'm going to Cleethorpes.

So, if any of you are free from the evils of work this Wednesday, 17th May, do you fancy a trip to the coast? soul_rider and Evie are already joining me, and anyone else who can read this is welcome.

There seems to be a fair amount of cheap interesting stuff to go to, and I always feel that I don't see the sea nearly as often as I would like to. The forecast is still drizzly, but we won't let that get us down, right?

Trains are every hour (at 11 minutes past going out, and leaving Cleethorpes at 27 minutes past the hour coming back). It's just less than a 2-hour journey each way, and a day return costs £14.30.

I'm planning on catching the 10:11 out (although I could be persuaded to make that the 11:11!) and the 18:27 back, which gets into Sheffield at 20:08. Let me know if you fancy tagging along, so we can arrange to meet up :o)

Would love to but got a fridge freezer that is being delivered on Thursday and I am suppose to make space for it in kitchen and also clear access from the front door. *sighs*

Have a lovely day though. If I manage to get things done earlier, will certainly join u guys! :)

Happy Birthday!!!

Hope you have a fab time in Cleethorpes- I'm so jealous! I have to stay home so that the midwives / doctors / health visitors etc etc can prod and poke me!
:)

Look forwards to reading the post - and hope you get fish & chips or ice cream or some other seaside food while there !!! It's the law!

Thank you! I nearly had chish & fips, but Krissy talked me into having pie instead :o)

Hope you don't feel too prodded!

I'll have to come up and see you, and say "Hi" to little Roo soon. Very busy at the moment. Are any evenings in particular good for you next week?
