I felt bad as I don't usually get too excited about my birthday due to the fact it is so close to Christmas. But this year Lauren had other plans. The thing was, they were secret plans!
It wasn't until I said to her that I was going to be out that evening at a works do that she admitted that she was going to wake me Monday morning offering me train tickets to London.
Still we came up with other plans to go in to Bristol so that we could go to the cinema, eat out and do a bit of shopping.
We'd managed to get a babysitter for Charlie for the day so, without being mean, we were at our own leisure to do as we pleased. We headed in to Bristol around 10ish and decided to get a hot chocolate as it was freezing! (I mean CHILLED TO THE BONE!). We then headed to the cinema and had a choice between "The King's speech" or "Season of the Witch".
As it was my birthday I pulled rank and chose the latter. So we got our tickets and headed in to make ourselves comfortable. As we were there at 11am we had an easy time picking our seats as 6 people (including ourselves turned up).
So, we'd got our tickets, we'd got our seats and we were set. I was quite looking forward to getting a sneak peak at what was due out but as the trailers started we were met with horrific films about exorcisms and murders! Lauren and I looked at each other wondering what we'd let ourselves in for but decided to persevere.
Well, the opening scene was three "supposedly" innocent women being accused, in a very monty pythonesque way, of being witches! As the scene progressed I felt Lauren squeezing my hand tighter and tighter. The scene concluded with one of the women being a witch who proceeded to kill the priest reading her her last rights. When the gore had finally ended I looked in to my wife's terrified eyes to hear her whisper "The King's speech would have been nice!" LOL!
As it turns out, it was a very entertaining movie and it was nice to get back to the cinema.
After we'd composed ourselves we travelled to one of our favourite restaurants FLAVOURZ. This is a place (kinda like The Golden Coral Hesbs) where you can go and stuff your face full of Chinese, Indian and mexican cuisine. Plus they have a killer desert section!! Lauren's favourite section is the chef that cooks chow mein made to order.
For my final treat, Lauren took me to Cabot Circus (a nearby mall) where I could shop till I reached my budget. The ironic thing is, we looked in so many shops but I only ended up buying a new shirt/hoodie from Hollister.
All that being said, I still have birthday cards to open on my birthday and some presents in the post so I consider myself extremely blessed to be loved in the way that I am.
I would like to say a BIG thank you to my wonderful wife for already making my birthday so special. I love you! X
