We planned to leave by about 7.15am so I was up around 6.00am and went up the road to get milk and then sorted things here. Mum arrived on time and told us the A34 was closed so we stopped Charlotte from leaving as we'd need to go past her house – picked her up and then dropped Bess off at Sue's.
We were on a time limit because we had the Cube booked for 11.00am and the detour had made it VERY tight.
Journey up there wasn't too bad and we got parked and to the place – we needn't have worried, they were very flexible and we had plenty of time to work with. Ah well, lesson learned, I don't think I broke too many speeding limits.
Didn't really know what to expect (partly because I've never really watched much of The Cube) but it was really enjoyable. We broke into teams of two: me and Mum, Tash and Jack, Charl and Miles, and you went round to each cube and were given the challenges – all of which were simple enough to grasp but the pressure made them harder. It was challenging but not impossible and not easy – a good mix.
Me and Mum came last, not far behind Charl and Miles, but Tash and Jack stormed it and ended up 4th on the weekly leader board – very impressive.
After that, we had some food and then made our way to Lewis and Emily's (and Frankie!).
Relaxed and chatted – more presents – they gave me some really thoughtful things (a lovely mug) and then loads of baby cuddles. Frankie is still small but feels more solid and he was smiling at times. I managed to make him smile a few times so that was good!
I had a snooze (I was shattered) and then after 40 minutes we went out to the local pub (about 5 minutes away) and had a really good meal.
Back to Lewis’s for coffee and more relaxing and then about 7.00pm we said our goodbyes and made our way home.
Journey back was fine and only 2.5 hours – we picked up Bess from Sue’s, dropped Charl and Miles off and then Mum at our house.
I watched a bit of TV – MOTD – and then went to bed as I want to play golf tomorrow morning.
**A really good day – enjoyed it.**
