Friday Five and we return from The Lakes

Arrived back from a week sharing a farm house with 3 mates and their partners this afternoon. I'll post a link to the travelogue as soon as it's done. For now suffice to say we had four days of glorious weather, followed by an overcast day, a day of rain (which we spent shopping) and a final glorious day yesterday when we walked around Buttermere. Don't think I've been this relaxed in a long, long time.

And so to...the Friday Five
1. Last laugh?
Too many to count this past week. As a group of eight we share such a long and varied history that we can make each other laugh just with a look, or a word. Several themes developed over the week, so after a couple of days we were splitting our sides regularly, and to add to the general hilarity we watched Holy Grail and Life of Brian on a couple of evenings. Brilliant.

2. What do you love?
Ahh...so many things. Sunsets, open water, rain, sunlight through a forest canopy, a long cold gin and tonic with a slice of lime, a hug from my daughters, a quiet evening in with Nikki just *being*, the smell of hot summer tar, trees, bees, pebbles from a clear mountain stream.

3. Gold or silver?
Gold for me.

4. Who do you hold hands with?
Nikki.

5. Friday fill-in:
There's no time to ____.
stand and wait, I hurry to procrastinate.
