At the end of October we all went on holiday to a log cabin just outside Ilkley in Yorkshire. The cabin. The weather was good though considerably colder than Malaysia!
The cabin was a bit on the small side, another poor choice of cabin, that's two in the same year. See HERE for a reminder of our other miserable holiday shed! Actually it was no where near as bad as the Tiomen experience. This place had a surround sound DVD and an outside hot tub!
One big advantage of this place was there was a private fishing lake. Alright it was a 10 - 15 minute walk away, but it did give me and the kids something to do while Catherine lounged in the hot tub. They said the lake was well stocked, yep you guessed it, there was virtually sod all in it! Sam caught one and Zoe two, I caught a cold. No it was not that we are crap at fishing, well alright, it may have been........We all had a wonderful relaxing time doing basically nothing. We had a great Thai meal out in Ilkley. We were talking to the owner, explaining how I had been in Malaysia for six months and said that Tom Yam Soup was my favorite. They did me a special Thai strength Tom Yam. Shit it was hot, the hottest I have ever tasted. As true Westerners we ordered far too much and ate most of it.
