Coconut cake and Confusion

Over the last few days I have noticed that I am starting to get tired around 9pm. My eyes are heavy and stinging and I become very weary  and yawny I know that my B12 injection is due in a weeks time and I usually feel weary around this time in its 3 month cycle.
I never let it stop me though. On Thursday I went out with my friend to our favourite farm shop. Last time we were there I had just been told that my protein levels had risen and it wasn't a very happy time for us. This time we both had happy smiley faces and were bouncy. Cheese and Tomato toastie and a Bacon sandwich with custard tarts to follow, mmm yummy. We both thought that the fillings were a little cold but hey! we are happy so what the heck.
As we left the farm shop we got stuck behind two tractors, we didn't have a plan as to where we were going but said. no matter which way the tractors went we would go the opposite. at the next roundabout they turned right so we turned left. We were on our own Magical Mystery Tour. (I'm sure there is a song in there somewhere).
The sign said Corbridge so off we went, we traveled through places that we have recognised or thought we had been to before. We travelled up hills and through some very peculiar smells, you can tell we are in the countryside. The music in the car was playing away we were laughing and having fun, what better day can we have. We see a sign we recognize Blanchland 7 miles we like it there. off the road we turn and head towards a sleepy little village. Chitter chattering as we go who would have thought I would get lost. All of a sudden we are climbing toward the sky with sheep lining our route, we were supposed to have turned off and headed down into the village. how could I have got confused its not hard to get too. All roads lead to each other as they say and we kept going for a few miles. eventually we see a sign Blanchland 6 miles we both laugh we have traveled for miles to be one mile closer.
We arrive and take a little walk, only takes 5 minutes if that to walk around it but it's a sleepy village and we like it. We stopped for a cup of tea and a piece of cake. My friend had some coconut cake and I had some lemon drizzle cake. It was probably the best lemon drizzle I have had on our days out.
Today we both have happy smiley faces, we are laughing and having fun. This is a special day out for us, it has got rid of all the bad memories of last time we went to our farm shop and our eyes are sparkling again. We are happy happy bouncy bouncy!
