Last weekend we had a long weekend away staying in Studley Castle just south of Birmingham. The Castle was something quite different and we really enjoyed our stay.

Studley Castle


We visited my Auntie and Uncle, Norma and Alan, and my two cousins Rob and Pete, Pete’s girlfriend Sadie and daughter Mollie. We had a great time catching up, eating copious amounts of Chinese take away food and lots of alcohol was drunk! It was a really good evening and went on into the small hours.

On Saturday, we visited Stratford Upon Avon where we had a walk around and managed to get a sizeable chunk of our Christmas shopping done. We then visited Rugby where we used to live in Bilton and the town centre itself. It was surprising how quickly things change! In the evening we met up with Adam and another friend from College, Matt, who have just moved into a flat together in Dunchurch. Adam and Matt are currently working on a business idea of their’s so we got up to speed on their plans while having an excellent meal at the Dun Cow pub.

On the Sunday morning, we headed back up north to sunny Huddersfield. To our surprise though, the clocks had changed in the night and we had forgotten! So we were robbed of our extra hour lie in! We had a great weekend though, we’ll have to do it more often!
