Country Dancing to Abba!

A group of girls did a demonstration of Country Dancing with Mrs Lineker joining in

Sports day and Summer Fair

a great day was had but a special mention must go to Mrs J who bravely took a spell in the stocks!

run for home?

This afternoon I was browsing the web feeling a bit homesick! although I love living here and the warmer weather (most of the time)There is something about the North-East coast that gets under your skin and walking along Longsands at very early in the morning or after 7pm with a dog by your side in the spring or early autumn is wonderful.

I found a few pictures of Tynemouth Priory and King Eddie's Bay as we used to call it, and have decided that I'm gonna go back next year for a visit and take my children with me and show them where I went to school and places I used to walk my dog before I moved to Swindon in '89! can't believe I left there for the last time in '97 and have not been back since! Wow, I've just realised that's 12 years!

if you do anything today, watch this first!

scroll down to the vid on June 30th post and enjoy

Alun took the day off work today and we had lunch at the windmill, then went to the Lake Grounds where i bought him a large clotted cream and fudge ice cream and we watched a few diving ducks, had a cuddle. Then we went and got the kids from school.

I was downloading some photos earlier from the kids cameras and found this on Dom's camera

Kids eh! brilliant!

Ty Rocks!

Ok, so the last week or so, the open air pool has been undergoing a makeover by Ty Pennington and the BBC team and getting all the locals involved which has been great!

Involved in some of the film are Portisheads very own Norman and Jean Jelley, Ty met with the Jelleys several times including go to their house just down the street from us, look on FaceBook regarding save our Portisheads open air pool.... anyway the girls got together and are still in the process of making before and after scrapbooks of the pool and this is how we met Ty!

school portraits

Picked the kids up from school and Tessa came out of school with the school portrait that they have now decided to have done every 5 years and a family portrait too, later on this week they will probably come out with single portraits! Money, Money, Money! don't they know what a recession is?

Plodding Along

'don't know what the matter with me is lately, can't sleep for more than 3 hours at time (if that)
and my feet keep swelling up by the end of every day my feet are spilling out over my crocs!

But on the upside of things................. I am now a member of a team on UKS, Blooming Pages, that's us, the ladies i have chatted to so far seem really nice and definitely talented, lets hope some of that rubs off! i have learnt how to re-size a picture so it is possible to upload it into the members gallery and have even taken part in a weekly challenge and am currently thnking up a page for this week to put together too.

The team leader informed us that we have to set a challenge for people to take part in, so this is gonna be really interesting! i have managed to do 3 pages so far and they have all been uploaded and commented on, one lady even made one of the pages onto her favourites list! which i was really surprised at! And to top it all I have re-jigged the office and made it easier to work in putting more storage units on the wall and filling them up with goodies too! enjoy the pics..........

he's done it again!

that nice charming postman of mine! i was upstairs and he didn't even knock and just stuck the note thru the door saying he couldn't deliver the parcel thats twice this week!

Why do the royalmail muck things up and change routes around, the previous postman was lovely! ah well, off for a shower now then
