The Excellent adventure

The captain at the start of the expedition .

Just a few of the many obstacles we had to encounter.

No bull is going to stop this man getting through.

Parkes and Strings Excellent adventure.

Tuesday after August bank holiday saw us walking from Tideswell to Buxton in sunny (not very often) Derbyshire. On the way we came across this skull of a sheep, it was a bit chilling, but obviously left there to let the other sheep know what might happen if they try and leg it from the field.

Princess

Beth has an obsession for everything princess, lord knows where from! I took her to see once upon a dream, which involved amongst other things, girls dressed up as Disney princesses. I found it quite painful but Beth said it was brilliant.

6 months old today: Miss Emily Stringer.

Herne bay

Beth and Valarie on the tea cups, they kept shouting faster faster!

Was nice to meet Eric Bristow and Keith Deller at GBBF today. Managed to get a picture of Clive with them, which made Clive very happy.

Over and out.

Forgot to post a 5 month old piccie. Check out the thighs on that baby!
