hard at work in the english countryside

2.40 am and back in my looovely room at fawsley hall near daventry. clearly, tolkien has roamed this countryside because it is a picture-perfect hobbiton, minus the hobbits, although some of the old portraits in the great hall made me think the english might once have been hobbits... this was a 2-day team getaway with coworkers - spent the day with a motivational speaker - making 90day collages, having a-ha moments, believing that 'you can if you think you can' and then in the evening settled in at the bar - a roight propah boozeup!

some funny moments included "i had the time of my life..." (1 foot from the rafters, DD-style) "doe a deer, a female deer. ray a drop of golden sun..." (lyn reenacting my bday singalong), matt and his benedictine, kev hurdling over the down feather bed. made too much noise, who us? naaaah...
