Red Roses V Ireland 11.04.2026 Twickenham

 England Red Roses Vs Ireland - 6 nations - Twickenham - 11.04.2026.

Day out to Ladies rugby today, up and put at 10.15 to Leighton Buzzard train station, with our 2 for 1 rail cards cost us £30 return top Euston plus tap in and out of tubes, so not too bad, once we arrived at Euston we had to get the northern line to Waterloo then Waterloo to Twickenham. We got to the ground around 13.15, grabbed a pint each which come to £17 and 2 spicy chilli pasties which come to £18 !! I do hate paying the prices at stadiums but for some reason I am never very organised with the food and drink when we go to events, not sure why considering I’m mega organised the rest of time.

Good seats at the ground, our tickets cost £30 each which i thought was pretty good. The game was brilliant (for England) but not so good for Chris and Ireland, England won 33-12.

We were pretty impressed with all the organisation around Twickenham, everything was prepared and no real delays bar of course the amount of people coming out the stadium after, however the queues moved quickly with clear instruction fo where you needed to go, no complaints from us at all, we was also very lucky with the weather the whole time, we had a bit of rain for a few minutes after the game whilst in the queue bit it soon cleared up.

We got back to Euston in good time and managed to catch the 18.23 train back to leighton Buzzard.

Another event / experience ticket off our bucket list.

  Travel day: Sat 20th Sept. 3am and set off to the airport, nice and early as always. Unfortunately I'm still feeling a bit unwell from last weekend but got to keep moving! Only an hour flight from Stansted so not too bad for the early morning, landed in Dublin around 9.45 and managed to find our coach reasonably easy, €10 each single into the city centre. We arrived a bit too early to check in at the hotel but managed to drop our stuff off and go out for a walk round the city. We didn't really have much of a plan, we just found ourselves walking around. Went into a few sports shops and then stumbled across Temple Bar . It wasn’t our plan to go there today but we were there we thought we may as well, had the obligatory pictures for insta of course, walked in then out as it was rammed!  We hadn't eaten yet and it was now 14.00 and we were starving. We didn't want anything too ‘proper’ so managed to find a place with loaded fries and burgers called Fat Phil's Diner ...

  Travel day/ Day 1 - Friday/ Saturday -  21.11.25/ 22.11.25. Due to hurricane Malissa in Jamaica we had to change destination, we chose to go to the other side of the world to Thailand.. Long arse 12 hr flight, got here at 7am Thai time, very overcast and showers, however this did not make any odds to us as is super humid and 26+ degrees, such a lovely hotel, it is our 1 year together anniversary on 24th Nov so even more special, only been here a day and we love it! Rain or shine doesn't make any odds to us ❤️💚. Once we checked in and got to our room we unpacked, the room was lovely, very spacious, the bed was massive! I needed a taxi to get over to Chris’s side 😂, we had a balcony that overlooked the swimming pool, large bathroom, was just right, we then rested for a couple of hours before going to get some food, the restaurant is different to normal all inclusive as you don't go up to a buffet for lunch and dinner, you order from the menu what you would like, you can do t...

  Travel Day - Penybont,Wales 17.10.25 Just a small, short post as something a bit different for us this time, a relaxing, do nothing weekend at a cabin in the middle of nowhere in Wales.It was just what the doctor ordered, well needed. There isn’t much to write really for this post as I say because we did nothing but relax in the hot tub, watch a few films and relax. I would though like to 100% recommend this lodge out of season being October and only cost us £260 Fri - Mon. We ordered a Tesco shop to the cabin to do us for the weekend, we had everything we needed. We cooked a few wintery, homely dinners in the slow cooker and relaxed with a few proseccos in the hot tub. We booked through Hoseasons and it was called Valley view lodge, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living and dining area, plenty big enough for two couples. Ready for another relaxing time in Jamaica, roll on November.
