Through the eyes of a child

Their is little in life as good as spending time with your family. To let them know you care and for them to care about you. Ah love!

Back from a four day break with my brother, sister-in-law and nephew. And wow, am I shattered now! How much energy does a 10year old have?! Answer: far more than me.
It was a great break, minus the train issues (Britain train services leave a little to be desired). I was utterly spoilt. A meal out on the first evening. A large fry up for next day breakfast. A full roast dinner sunday night. Large lunch and dinners on monday (for breakfast, i was still digesting the previous days meals) and travelling home on the tuesday with a food baby. Heck Wednesday evening and still dealing with the food baby. I do not think i will eat a 'proper' meal this week. The sight of food.....

But it was a great break. We visited the Manchester museum of Science and Industry. Truly a great day out! Lots of interactive activities for the kids, and lets be honest the adults too, was running round after my nephew. We also went into the 4D cinema, surprisingly good! and around the areoplanes, but still we didn't get ot se everywhere. It was a great experience and something for all the family to do, and lots to be learnt.

I spent one wet day indoors watching my first 3D film. Frankly i think 3D is overrated. It is more annoying than anything and not particularly great. But in the evening. Well, my nephews excitement had nothing on me. I was treated to attend a live tapping of WWE!!!!! Oh yes!! Men in tiny pants!!! Hello!!!!! My life was made a little bit more complete on watching the Dudley boyz, Kane and especially The Undertaker!!!! Never thought i would see these guys live!!! It was amazing, the atmosphere was epic, the noise was insane, the whole event was incredible. And that was just the wreslting. I was utterly fascinated by the camera crews hanging from the rafters, the mobile team, the ring crew, the pyrotechnics! I spent equally as much time looking at that as i did the actual fights! Awesome.







It was fabulous. Spending that much time with my nephew was great. He is so passionate and curious about everything, so many questions. It was incredible to spend a few days seeing the world through he eyes. When one is so young and not yet jaded, the world is an exciting place, fully of life and colour and no responsibilites. Amazing. 

It was with a tired bump i cam back home. On a good note, i unwound enough for my blood pressure to come down. Though the nurse has decided i have other things that need fixing as well. She isn't wrong, but i pride myself on my British mentality of 'it'll mend in time, i don't need to see anyone about it'. Sometimes defeat is enevitable. On the other hand, i found my temporary reset button.
