weekend with Charlie!

Charlie came over last Friday and we had a lovely weekend. We went to the botanical gardens on Saturday -- it was another pretty day!

And of course there were lots of funny photos...

I loved this little gazebo! It reminded me of the Sound of Music...

... so of course I had to run and skip on the side benches like Liesel.

For dinner, we went to Pizza Express for an early Valentine's Day meal. We also had some vouchers, which made it even better!

And then it was time for perhaps the highlight of the weekend: a ceilidh! I was worried I wouldn't be able to dance after the hearty meal, but it was fine! It was so much fun. I took a video of a dance that we sat out (click on "Ceilidh" if you want to see it). I hope it works!

There was also a capoeira show on the interval. It was pretty cool and the performers all seemed very talented.

It was nice to have a "special" weekend before classes started again this Monday!
