QE2 on her final destination before she retires 7th Oct 08

The QE2 came back to South Queensferry On Tuesday 7Th October 2008, There was A fly past from the Raf but due to low cloud cover and very grey skies we heard them but never seen them, The Tugs Had done a display "the dancing tugs" which was basically water coming from the tugs! There was also meant to have been Fireworks but assume they didnt set them off due to the weather, She did a farewell salute and of she went back to Southampton before she retires as a floating hotel in Dubai.



Blackpool 3-6th October 2008

My Mum and I had gone to Blackpool for the weekend
I hadn't been in about 10 years, but wasn't that suprised when nothing had changed! well only the fact that I never came home with a huge tacky bag full of junk like i did when I was a child! even my mum was shocked.
The sea appeared raging and my Mum was petrified to go on the pier (she not very good with water being underneath her) but I still went on with me camera and took pictures.
Despite the rain and strong winds it didn't stop us getting out and about we must have been mad but never mind, we met my Mum's friends! and then one of my oldest and dearest school friends which was great to catch up,even if he hadnt changed and stole my hat,
amazing on the sunday in the change in the weather you would think it was summer!I even went on the big wheel

god knows why when im petrified of heights but didnt want to show fear in front of my mums friends, i got scared when the wind started blowing our basket and all i could think of was the cold deep sea below.I did take some images from the top! as i didnt have to move i took the pics
