This is me snoozing on a park bench yesterday lunchtime whilst catching up on podcasts. Sometimes on days like these its really hard to return to your desk and give up the park bench to the hoards of foreign exchange kids that dominate every bench in the city and wonder the streets in their packs shouting in their foreign tongue.

Its been a tough couple of weeks for me and this bank holiday weekend is just what I need to recharge batteries. Tomorrow sees the village’s biggest event of the year, Shrewfest aka our house warming and we have been preparing all day today for it, even putting the inlaw’s cast off gazebo to good use. Now all I need to do is find a use for their 1970’s heated serving tray and we’re all laughing. I’m holding out for snow this year so I can attempt melting a path to my car.

Shrewfest photos will follow shortly
