Today, 18th October 2009, marks the first year of James & I being together.

We spent a night at Braunston Manor Hotel yesterday. We were welcomed by a woman whom I think runs the whole place. Part of our conversation was like this:

Woman: What brings you here? A party or just to spend the night?

James: We're here to just spend a night. It's our one year anniversary.

Woman: Oh, I see. So you're newly at it huh?

Krystal: *subtle nod while trying to resist bursting out laughing*

James: Yeah. We are.

The woman then brought us up to our room. Our room was nice. The decor was like a modern Tudorian/Victorian kind. To be honest, I can't tell the difference between Tudor and Victorian. Lol.. Hence the "/".

When we were alone in the room, I told him the woman thought we were MARRIED! James was like..... "Really?!?! I didn't know." And I was like.... "The woman said 'newly at it', which refers to 'newly weds' my dear." =.=''''

Anyway, we had a picnic in the gardens of the hotel the night we arrived, with the companion of a little wine. Then as it got colder, we headed back in to our room.

Had a nice warm bath in the candle lit toilet, whilst sipping more wine. We then made way to our lovely comfy bed for the night. Watched Taking of Pelham 123, which I fell asleep halfway through. I am blaming the wine. Haha! My face was well red! We then watched Ice Age 3 after Pelham.

2/3 of the way into the movie, the clock striked 12am! We greeted each other a happy happy 1 year and went to sleep straight as we had to wake up early the next morning for fishing.

Woke up at 8am, had full cooked English breakfast (with sausages, tomatoes, eggs, beans, bacons and mushrooms. Yummy yummy!!!). Took a few more photos in the gardens and headed off for fishing! Guess what though? Before we left, the woman asked: "So, was the weather nice when you two got married?" HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I could tell this time James tried to hold in his laughter. I just looked away. =D

We arrived the fishing place a while later. A guy taught us the basics of fishing. How to hook on the bait (MAGGOTS!!!! OMG.OMG.OMG....EWWW!!!), how to throw in the bait etc etc. James caught like about 2 or 3 in just 1 hour. But it slowly died down. I caught 2 fishies!!! =)=) All in all we caught about 10 fishies. We caught more towards the end. Most of them were caught by James. Basically, James was fishing, while I was enjoying my picnic. =D We couldn't bring the fishies back though, but we stole 3! LOL! Put them in a bucket.

Headed for home at 4.45pm. He's gone off to breakdancing now. I'm just waiting for him to come home and we're gonna go steamboat later on! Wheee..

Lots of love to give out!
