I've taken my little netbook out on an adventure today - just me, it and the road, well rails I guess as I'm sat on a train.
I'm heading back to Chelmsford for the weekend for Mother's Day. I was meant to head back yesterday but I met up with a uni mate and well lets just say mid-day drinking and I don't mix. One drink turned into a further "one for the road" which turned into probably about 8...needless to say, I was rather drunk, no actually make that trashed by about 5 o'clock and public transport was not going to be a good idea.
I'm OK today though, I'm up, bright and breezy, I've had my Starbucks and I'm ready for the day.
I like going back to Chelmsford, it's nice to escape London once in a while and return to the home lands. I don't know if any of you have been to Chelmsford (the original birth place of Radio - oh yes!) but it's got just the right amount of "things". It's got a good selection of clubs, some good bars and restaurants, two Starbucks, the usual high street shops and as lame as it sounds some nice park areas as well...not as busy as London but not a sleepy little village either, to use the name of a well known bread brand, it's the "best of both"...I could moonlight as a tourist information person couldn't I?
I must admit when I was growing up, I couldn't wait to move away and so I did, I made sure the uni that I went to was in London but looking back, Chelmsford or "Chelmo"as we fondly refer to it aint so bad.
I was thinking about moving back actually - I'm toying with the idea of living on my own and well in London it's looking as though I'll have to sell both lungs, a leg and my heart to go it alone, in Chelmsford I could probably afford quite a nice flat....saying that I don't think I could cope with the commute, I quite like being fifteen minutes from the West End and I'm not sure if I'm ready to hang up my oyster card quite yet; we'll see I guess!
Anyway, I'm just reading this back and I'm boring my self...have a good weekend y'all!
