Travel home day. We got up around 8.30, I had a shower as the bathroom was a wet room, so no climbing over a bath, and very nice it was too. Good heat and pressure for a hotel one. We packed and then went a walk into the town to grab some breakfast. We plumped for M&S cafe. Then we nipped to buy a bag big enough to transport the picture home. We also bought Charlotte a small candle to say thank you for looking after Willow. And I couldn't resist buying some bat tea towels.
We headed back to the hotel and got everything organised. They haven't got a luggage hold at that hotel which meant dragging it around with us once we had checked out the hotel at 12.
So as it was quite pleasant we gathered our stuff and sat in the library park for a while. Then we made our way to the bus station and got the 36 to Leeds.
We had quite a while before our National Express coach was due, but again no luggage lockers there so we found decent seats and out came my kindle we got some lunch from Greggs and sat chilling.
There was a bit of drama when a small rat/mouse scampered across the concourse. As usual, they did what humans do and overreacted, security spraying it, with what we couldn't determine, then one of them chasing it with a dustpan and brush. Eventually catching it and taking it outside. Poor thing was terrified. I don't care if it's vermin, but it's a living thing. Yes, I understand completely that it needed to be shifted, but honestly they could have been a little bit better at handing it.
That drama over we carried on entertaining ourselves until our bus came.
We left at 5.30pm and got back in Nottingham at 7.15pm. Not bad going. We managed to get the 7.20pm Cotgrave and that was the end of our pre-anniversary get away. It was a nice couple of days, and we would go back. Hopefully next time we can find time to find Art from the Heart's shop.
