Julia and I went to the Bath Beer festival on Saturday.  We have been before, a few years ago, to the evening session and although it was quite average, decided that we’d give the afternoon session ago. The most disappointing thing was that, despite the lovely autumn weather, they wouldn’t allow anyone to take their drinks outside.  I was quite grumpy for the first hour of so, then I was drunk and it wasn’t so bad (hic).

Spent a rather nervous day at hospital yesterday as Julia was tested for pre-eclampsia after a slightly high blood pressure reading. We got the all-clear in the end, although we still have to go back for more tests. Panic over, although we really can’t fault the thoroughness of the NHS. Had a pretty decent lunch in the Lansdown restaurant at the RUH too.

Julia and I just got back from our three night ‘babymoon’ stay at CenterParcs Longleat.  Babymoons are a bit like honeymoons except you go on them just before you have a baby as opposed to just after you get married. Can’t say enough good things about CenterParcs itsself and Longleat safari park next door which we visited on Friday.  With both being about a 30min drive from Bath we kept asking ourselves: ‘Why haven’t we been here before?’
