So, today Lee suggested going on a walk to Codnor Castle for V-Day. So, we got up, got dressed, went into town and managed to catch the Valentines meal deal at the Red Lion. Two steaks and a bottle of red wine. I don't eat steak, so I chose five bean chilli instead.
That was nice, got a bit sloshed though... I couldn't eat much, so the wine went to my head. Lee was no different though. Hah.
We ended up walking all the way from there to Codnor Castle staggering and shouting at random things like houses and cars and Lee decided a house had a nice gas meter. (Which he called a gas box. So I told him he had a nice gas box. xD )
Anyway, walked the 3 miles to the Castle, coughing and choking from our germs and getting nice and muddy on the country lanes, avoiding golf balls from the golf club you have to cut through and generally getting unnerved by the advancing rain clouds. Got there, stood on one of the hills over looking it and Lee starts coughing. I started hammering on his back trying to help, then he keels forward. I was like 'WTF' and kept hammering. Only to realize he was on one knee, looking up at me with a ring box...
[The ring is made from a local stone too, to make things even more awesome. Blue John )
