Spent all day today with my baby in Cardiff! We decided today was too nice to not go out and do something, SO WE WENT ROUND A CASTLE. Cardiff castle to be exact. We got up at around eleven o'clock, washed etc. Then I had an instant pasta pot snack thing for breakfast which was interesting... THEN we headed off to the castle! Here are loads of photos;
I loved this tree.
The castle grounds!
Spooky underground tunnels...
Spooky Jo in spooky underground tunnels...
I learnt that Jo can't take a photo to save her life today!
I also Dressed up as an army guy. YEAH.
The great hall of the house on the grounds.
Inside the main keep!
A sexy fireplace in the house.
The houses library, which i wasn't allowed to look around. *sadface*
Jo played dress up too!
Although i look better in it!
She did rock this German coat/Russian hat combo though!
On top of the keep! Jo didn't like it, so we snapped this quickly...
Yes that is a big gun i'm playing on.
The outside of the big house!
This ceiling was in a room called the "Arab room". Was fucking gorgeous in person.
Jo said this would be fun. It was!
The main keep! Looks awesome.
OMG CASTLE!
I'm a fucking German officer here for some reason...
So yeah! The castle was awesome! We said we'd do it one day i was up, and today was obviously the day! I love castles, and national trust places, and general places of a historical theme! And luckily enough Jo likes them too! (Or says she does, which is good enough for me)
After the castle we headed out into the city, and didn't want to head back to hers just yet. So we walked back through some of the arcades dotted around, and found a tea shop that we liked the look of from my last visit! We headed in, ordered our drinks and sat down in amazing wingbacks! Jo had a coconut milkshake;
And i had a cafetiere of coffee all to myself;
It was a really nice day! Definitely made the most the short time i had this weekend!
We headed back to Jo's place after the coffee and milkshakes, and chilled out for the last few hours we had together this weekend. I had to come back early due to a staff meeting tomorrow at work! Boo.
I left Jo's at half five, and got to the train station to find the whole placed sectioned off like a prisoner of war camp! I'd forgotten about the trouble the game in Cardiff would cause today. By the way well done to Ireland for winning the Six Nations this year! Thoroughly deserved, and a great way for O'Driscoll to finish off his international career! But yeah, the scene outside of the train station was manic, so i hopped over one of the fences and jumped on to a train to London, which luckily stopped in Bristol! If i hadn't done that i probably would have waited around for a couple of hours, so the slight evasion of security was definitely worth it, NOT THAT I ENCOURAGE THAT.
Arrived home to find my mum had cooked me corned beed hash! Which was amazing. I'd never had it before, and now i want more, so it was probably a success haha.
Played a bit of guitar as well, taking a break to type this up, and then might stick on a movie! While typing this i'm listening to Kanye West's first album; College Dropout. Getting in to hip-hop at the moment, and as a general rule I HATE Kanye West. But this album is fantastic, so is recommended by me if you fancy a lil' bit of an OG soundtrack to your evening!
