Brixham, thorpe park, making Rachel Sick, point to point and pub quiz.
Almost so much to tell that I put off writing this for two weeks. OK. There was the weekend where my friends came down to Torquay once again, only to find the place had been over run with four thousand young farmers. Took them across to Brixham on the ferry, and showed them the cliffs around marine drive.
Following that there was the weekend we went to Thorpe park. I was forced to drive despite my lack of experience of doing long journeys. Had to get up and get over to Heather's for half five and found Tom stood in the kitchen in the dark stirring bake beans. Not a bad trip except for my satnav taking me into Chertsey and as near to Thorpe park as you can get without being able to get into it. Started getting nervous when I saw this roller coaster arching straight upwards in the distance. This was Stealth which we went on straight away, and was made even more fun by it breaking down just as we got on, meaning we had to get off again and wait twenty minutes for a safety engineer to check it. I won't go into details of this ride as I don't want to damage the mental recovery process.
Then the weekend before last I was back in South Molton. Can't remember much of what happened except for the amazing dinner and trifel Tom made which caused much over eating by my friends. Oh my lovely lovely friends, and girlfriend. Whose awesome skills at making vomiting noises actually made Rachel sick at the dinner table when she was attempting to eat one last mouthful of trifle. Haven't laughed so much for ages. We are mean mean people. This also may have been the weekend where we went to the point to point at Braddon Down on Exmoor. Which was a really good day out as I had never been to horse racing before. It had fine burgers, fake pound coins and a horse which knocked itself out but seemed to be okay in the end. and I also forgot the turning up late to the pub quiz and then winning the three remaining rounds and three bottles of wine, though that had more to do with Neil's musical knowledge and Heather's spelling skills than anything to do with me.
