Northumberland Coast

Well now that my eyes are a bit better and I can actually see what I'm typing I thought I'd share a few photos from my trip (with Jess) to the north east of England. Its such a long time since I've been there, it was great visiting places I knew well as a child.....I used to love to go to Marsden grotto, (a pub built into caves) when I was a child, the beach was always so nice and the rock was always amazing....anyway enough of me...here's some photos.


The castle is Alnwick Castle, its very beautiful, its about ab hour North of Durham, the gardens are full of amazing fountains that the kids can actually play in.

My new Jeep!

Here it is, all nice and clean and glistening in the sun ......my nice new jeep...this is the newest car I've had in this country...I love it already...

Sorry, I've taken the reg number off....as a security precaution....(sad world we live in huh?)

Dancing in the rain!

went to Stratford Upon Avon last weekend after all the heavy rain, the flooding was terrible, such a lot of damage.

This couple however seemed to be making the most of what was a bit of a disaster for the town......think I'd have liked a glass of what ever they had... LOL...

Here are a couple more from Stratford on the same day...

More again from Oslo

Ok, Ok I guess I'm boring anyone who's dared to look, but I loved Oslo and these statues are just perfect so no more apologies for adding more photos.

The bottom two photos are from the palace or near to the palace...hold on there's more...

Some of these shots are taken down by the harbour. The silver flower is an eternal flame of peace. Its very beautiful.

More from Oslo

More photos.....hope your not all bored with these LOL...


These statues are just perfect, beautiful...love them all.

There's more !

Oslo

Thought I'd share some photos from a weekend in Oslo! Here's me!
This was taken in the very famous statue park which was very beautiful and totally fascinating.

Ok, here's some photos this time not of me LOL...

Here are some shots of the "tunnel of light" which lead down into the tube station, its such a cool tunnel.
I had the best time in Oslo, its a great city.
The last photo for now is of a bronze fountain down by the harbour, the flower was just floating there in the most perfect place as if it had been put there.

Concert for Diana - Wembley

Here are some photos from the Diana concert, it was along day but well worth it. The bands were great, great atmosphere and thanks to Elton almost missed the train home LOL.

The new Wembley is pretty good too, great views, the security was a bit tough, took a long time ot get in but at least we knew we were safe. What a sad world we live in !

My favourites were, The Feeling, P Diddy, Rod Stewart and the crowd liked Status Quo....didn't like Kanye West.

Another one of me, hatless this time LOL.....ok thats it for another year no more photos of me....

Royal Ascot 2007

Royal Ascot 2007, it stayed mainly dry although I thought the picnic was going to be ruined, a really heavy show arrived just at the wrong moment!

Ascot again!

Well, its been a while since I up dated my blog, but as its Royal Ascot season again I thought I'd add a photo of me, yes I know, I don't do photos of me but here goes. This is a photo of me from Royal Ascot last year.....I so love this hat...

This year its black and white.....so may be I'll add a photo of me later in the week....

Life is hectic as normal, lots of things happening, some good some not so good....but that's life I guess....expect the unexpected and you won't be disappointed LOL....

Wolves ! !

Last Saturday Jess and I went to the Uk wolf conservation trust for the day. We had a really great day, we got to go into the enclosure with three juvenille wolves, they came right over to us....it was magical. Then we met Duma and Dakota who were adult female North American wolves, we went out for a walk with them and got to meet them close up too. Although these are wild animals they are socialised to a degree but you did have to be very careful.

They also have European wolves which we saw but couldn't meet as it was breeding season for them and they were very stressed so it wasn't safe to be in their enclosure. But they were gorgeous....I'd like to go back next winter and meet them.

The wolves are just so beautiful, we had a fantastic day....here's some of the photos from the day.

Snow!

Well since the last time I updated we've had proper snow....lots of it and it was great! The kids had the day off as the schools were shut and we all went out to the country park with the dogs.

The park looked magical in the snow, and the dogs just had THE most wonderful time. They rolled in the snow, chased snow balls, ate the snow and ran around full of life.

This is the most snow we've had for years and boy did the kids and dogs make the most of it...it didn't last long though, but it was fun whilst it was here.
