Oh we do like to be beside the seaside...

Me and Spangle had an amzing fun time staying at The Grand Hotel in Scarborough last weekend, with a bus load on pensioners. We didn't get food poisoning, we won a bottle of fizz in the quiz, played on the bingo and won a lovely little plastic Scottish Terrier in a jumper. We love 'Little Ben'...

Early 2008  26/02/2008

I've not been taking many photos so far this year. Must be the weather or something. But now it's Spring and I am back in the mood.

I've uploaded a few from what I've been up to so far this year. It's been so busy, but I've just not taken many photos.

Lots more to come, I have lots of amazing adventures planned over the next few months. Oh, yeah!!

Christmas is coming...  02/12/2007


Christmas Indie Tracks was amazing. Nerds having fun on steam trains, drinking booze and dancing to indie pop. It doesn't get any better than that!
Wendy was allowed to sleep in the train yard with some of the old engines and carraiges - Thanks Indie Tracks!

Armley Tea Dance  21/10/2007


Wowzers, went to The Marvellous Tea Dance Company last night and had such a great evening of tea and chintz, cake and pimms, cucumber sandwiches and good old fashioned dancing. Probably one of the tweest nights imaginable. See the pictures here...
