Laura of Nottingham

Twang! So I guess this is becoming almost like a monthly blog. Never mind. I'll just bring you up to speed on what I've been doing lately.

This past weekend Patrick and I have been down in Nottingham visiting his family, which was kind of interesting. It's a bit weird for me, given my relatively unstrict upbringing, to be visiting a family where domestic discipline is so common and ordinary. We're talking about a home where furniture has been specifically arranged to allow for efficient punishment (i.e. plenty of empty corners, chairs available etc.)

So that was an experience. Even I didn't manage to escape the weekend without getting myself in trouble for my evil, evil ways. Let's just say I was a bit of a bad influence on one occasion, and that was enough to earn my bottom a good hiding.

Oh yeah, the above picture is from archery at the Youth Club where I have been doing some volunteer work for the past few weeks. Fits in quite nicely with the Nottingham theme, don't you think? But the real question is, who was silly enough to give me a bow and arrow? :P
