Laura’s Guest Blog

Today’s blog is written by my daughter Laura with whom I am enjoying a lovely weekend. Below you will see a picture of Laura hosing the patio.


 I feel a great sense of responsibility guest-writing for Dad’s blog but it seems apt given we are having a Dad and daughter weekend. 

The weekend started early for me with a half day from work so I could drive from London to Norwich to watch the might Boro in a crucial promotion clash. A great atmosphere and a better outcome was a really set up for the weekend. 

After a long drive from Anglia to Scarborough Dad and I headed into to town for some lunch and a spin in the mini with the lid down. We tested out the acceleration to the max much to our amusement and the annoyance of our fellow road users. Horsing around out of sight of mum!!

Any weekend with Dad wouldn’t be complete without us doing some jobs round the house. Even at the age of 31 Dad still asks me if I’d like to wash his car for a fiver when ever I am back in Yorkshire. Today we were power-hosing the garden clearing off the moss and dirt of the winter and preparing the garden for the warmer weather, which is noticeably on its way.

We managed to go the whole afternoon without descending into a water fight and did a pretty good job, although I looked far muddier than the patio stones by the end of the task. Our reward for our hard work was a couple of pints in the pub where we had a good chat. Two heads being better than one solving some problems. 


Looking forward to tomorrow which will include lunch at my favourite place, the Yew Tree Cafe and more of our nice chats about of shared love of the Boro, trains and politics although broadly we only ever agree on two of those three topics. I’ll let you decide which.
