Woo... a post about something that happened.
On Sunday Chris, Mysoist and I went on a little day trip out to Chatsworth House. It might be said that we picked the wrong day to go - what with it being the day of the Meatloaf concert there. Whoops. It didn't make too much difference I suppose - the tranquilty was somewhat lost during the soundcheck!
The house was, well, you know like a stately home, full of loads of old really expensive things. The gardens were, well you know, like gardens with loads of green and other coloured vegetaion in them. I quite liked the gardens - I less so liked the maze after we went on a mission of who could get to the centre first. My attempt was thwarted by Chris who told me that going down one path was a dead end, after asking him are you really really sure - being sure my mind that I'd found the rest of the dead ends, he said yes. Later, upon finially reaching the centre it transpired that Chris had been told it was a dead end by someone else. Bah, you can't go trusting folks in mazes - I suppose I shouldn't have gone trusting Chris either really!
The comradery amongst people who couldn't get to the centre was quite funny - mainly as you'd keep walking past the same people over and over and over again :-)
This post would have been much more informative if I'd been arsed to write it after it had happened instead of waiting for most of a a week :-(
Stay tuned for the next exciting post...
lol.. Here in my hometown, we have a fairly large maze in someones back garden which the land owner lets out for parties etc.
Like the maze in mention, this one is a pain in the rectum to get to the center of and as one of the games was to split into teams and deliver / recieve a ball from the person in the middle (like a relay) in the quickest time.. it posed quite a challenge.
Myself and a few others discovered however that climbing through the tree's helped enormously and ended up winning the game ^_^
Would have been so much more fun to have been accompanied by Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell though :) *jealousy strikes*

as for the people that told me it was a dead end, they were clearly blind. there were 2 adults, one with a pushchair and one with a child in their arms, they got to a corner ahead of me turned and then turned back. There wasn't really room to get past them, and it would have seemed really rude to have said "I need to check for myself that there's really a hedge in front of your face"
in hindsight...
