So the day got off to a good start – I had to rescue đ¨đťtwice, as he got on the wrong minibus, twice. Not a good sign on day 4 of the holiday, especially as I thought that Iâd not been misbehaving too much. I hadnât intended to write a post tonight, but the thoughts […]
good times
Just mooching around in The Mother City, The Big Table and the man jumps . . .
After a few hours in the lounge at Heathrow, and too much free alcohol, we slept, and presumably snored, our way to Cape Town. Great flight! Pleased to see the âhealth checksâ before passport control – better than nothing, and neither of us were too warm so we were allowed into the country. However, we […]
Fiddler on the Roof!
Last year’s “Joseph Meets Glee” was a hard act to follow, but they managed it! My parents arrived from Manchester for the weekend, just to see the show. So many kids, so much enthusiasm – it was a joy to see. Full credit to Sagi for organising, directing and being “The Man”. They have worked […]
Wet, wild . . . . . . . . And a wuss!
So for our finale we booked a 3 hour tour on jet skis. The plan was to go in the Gulf if it wasnât too rough to Marco Island and then to return via the backwater. We only stayed in the backwater but managed to see 2 schools of dolphins within 20 mins of setting […]
Mum and Dad’s Golden Wedding Anniversary
After 50 glorious years, Ma and Pa celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary over the whole weekend, nothing like celebrating in style! Whilst their Wedding Anniversary is Jan 1st we started on New Year’s Eve, celebrating with Family Y (who?) Despite their advancing years Mum and Dad trounced us young uns at “smart mouth” and charades. […]
Keswick and David’s 18th – Families I and Y!
Taken a few weeks but I have finally put up something about our Keswick trip. We set off cars fully laden, in the morning of the 24th December, David’s 18th, to spend 5 days in a cottage in Keswick with our good friends, Family Y. We had the most amazing time and amazingly are still […]
Fun in the snow
Well here are three young men, two of which have the day off from school because of the weather. They could either (a) use their time to revise for their modules next week – after all they want to go to Veterinary and Medical School or (b) mess about in the snow! Click below on […]
Frozen at Bolton Abbey
Families Y and I went off to Bolton Abbey with picnics and thermals, well it only said -3.5 â on the thermometers! To say we were frozen was an understatement. Just to show how bright some of us were (i.e me) we sat down on the rocks at the Strid to eat. Certain parts of […]
Ilkley with Family Y!
Off we went to walk off the excesses of a fabulous weekend. A great time was had by all. Whilst everyone used their muscles Elaine and myself used our brains and decided it wasn’t “women’s walking weather” and had a coffee and chocolate at the White Wells cafe instead! If you really want to see […]
