Quick entry before jet off!
On Wednesday night we headed over to Skipton. As it was James' group night we went to the cinema, except that nobody but us turned up and even Ellen preferred to go home rather than stay and watch the film (she does live in York though), so we got our tickets paid for anyway! We went to see The Time Traveller's Wife. I have missed Skipton's Ye Olde Cinema with one screen. Anyway, the film was really good. Ignoring the rather creepy bit where the naked man appears next to a six year old girl obviously. However, it was just nice to see something involving time travel taht was neither complicated or science fiction and although it by no means an amazing movie some of the scenes were really nice and it looked very nice. I really enjoyed it actually and proved that not only can you make films with a love story that aren't awful, I can actually like a film with a love plot. They're just usually awful! My favourite film is a rom-com of sorts after all. Mind you, Amelie hardly a rom-com by numbers.
Anyway, after the cinema James' Mum picked up and took us back to James' family's house. We watched Dragon's Den and just chatted really. I do like going back to the farm house. It reminds me of good times. Actually, it was the first time we'd slept in James' old bed since he moved out. 2006 was an awful time in many ways but visiting James' was so great, we had a lot of fun because our weekends had to be spent well, so it's glad that I now see those times as being good rather than hard and depressing like they actually were! I don't know how we coped for two and half years with just seeing each other every other weekend. Thankfully we don't need to do that anymore.
Yesterday morning we headed into Skipton early to have my hair cut, and run a few errands and then we went to visit James' grandparents. Ate a lot of food but I had a nice time. I do love seeing their garden and they seem very well. A good time was had by all I think. James' Mum drove us to Clapham station and we got back to Leeds at around 6.15pm. Now we're here for a day and then we're off to Austria tomorrow! I do hope it'll be a relaxing holiday! I'm looking forward to it though, I love exploring new places. And we'll be celebrating our fifth anniversary when we're away. Scary! But good obviously.
Right, off to see if I can get any last minute clothes for hols in the sales!
