The Lexden Crown, Colchester, review

Evening all.  It is one where the country is being battered by rain and wind.

Yesterday we had a relaxing meal at the Lexden CrownWe have been there before and the kids like it there.  The service was great, but it is hard to judge it properly on this as we had arrived around half past five in the evening and there were few people there, however I have been to places where, when quiet, the staff take things easy.  This was not the case here, the food came quickly and was eaten by all and I liked my meal.  The kids and my wife had fish and chips, hard to get wrong and with everything being eaten what more can be said?

Today, we have spent the evening making the final adjustments to the Christmas tree.  Well that was after drying off.  It was a bit wet at school pick-up and my wife, who had her hair blowdried earlier in the day had her hair curled as the wind kept blowing her hood off and the rain, which had soaked our legs to the skin through our trousers, did its wonders on her hair.  She still looks amazing, but does not look the way she was hoping.  She constantly says that it rains when it is time to collect the kids, and she was certainly right today, the rain starting just before we picked up my son, ending after we picked up my daughter.  Saying that, while wet and windy, I loved the weather.  I know that it is odd, but it is quite nice when it is windy and I do like the rain so long as I am not working.  And today and yesterday, I was not working, officially.  I did go to work to catch up with paper work and attend a meeting, but these things have to be done, but I got to pick up the kids (well yesterday one child as my son had a stye which is now better).

Now to rest, relax and watch the Arsenal highlights from last night.
