Day 13 we went oop north

I write tonight from Collingwood where we travelled to today to visit Natalie’s Grampa and his wife Anne Marie. I make out like we actually did some travelling, we didn’t, what we did was get picked up around threeish by them in their shiny new(ish) Ford Explorer and were driven up in the lap of luxury. Now its been five years since we were last up in there and time can play funny tricks on your mind as the journey seemed to take much longer than I really remember. As we drove up it dawned on Anne Marie that she had a sore head and the reason was that she hadn’t eaten since breakfast, she decided that we would go for dinner before going to their house. This as you can imagine was music to Natalie and I’s ears as were generally always hungry! We went to a place called Eastside Mario’s which is like a Tapas bar, no just kidding, its an Italian pizza pasta type place. Can I just say it was fan bloody tastic. I had a burny burny pizza and Natalie had some chicken pasta type dish which looked good too, not to mention they had a never ending garlic bread and salad type thing going on which Natalie lapped up!

When we got there we got our bearings about the house which seemed to be exactly the same as it was those years ago, well except for the fact the now have a swanky swimming pool out the back. Its not filled yet however, depending when were heading back to the city though it may be filled while were here. Stuffed to the gills we sat in the den and watched the tv before bed. Do I need to mention that it was sport we watched on tv? This country is well good.
