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

Feed the ducks!

my friend and I went up to Callander for a girlie drive and lunch and afternoon of feeding the ducks!
We had ball and enjoyed such a lovely lunch I want to go back for cheesecake!it was so yummy
I fell in love with the local chippy sign god knows why but we were tourists for the day



we also went to see the boy in the striped pyjamas, all I can say is wow! but take your tissues

cinema again

My friend Sally and I went to the film The duchess if you like your period dramas you would probably like this.................... we certianly did, and now Sally all excited as she wants to see the new Richard Gere film hes not changed well doesnt appear to have changed.


Also this week I went to se ethe flats in sighthill Edinburgh being blown up due to a new housing development happening and there tearing down a few old flats and making new ones, this is an experiience I wont forget in A hurry, the dynamite was that loud it made me jump but amazing to watch.

the start of my busy social life!!!

Saturday 13th seen me at Angelas crop in stone house, i managed 3 pages and the tag challenge set by Angela, i came home at 1930 as i was so shattered at not sleeping for nights before!

Paul my partner was at Leuchars Air show so he had pinched my camera for the day!

I came home to find Damien our newest pet had passed away, due to what they call a reptile virus poor wee mite we only had him a month but hopefully he resting in peace in the plant pot beside my bearded dragon that passed away last october!

Last Wednesday was meant to be the start of camera club, but I had a visitor at last minute, a friend I hadn't seen in months so was chuffed and spent good few hours catching up on missed chats, its so nice to catch up with old friends.

After loosing everything on the laptop after a windows live update went wrong, and currupted not only mine but hundreds of peoples acer laptops, One of my friends had posed for me again in the grave yard in Waterloo Place Edinburgh,
were planning on a studio shot, when I eventually get Time to my self which will probably not be till after christmas now the way things are going!

Its been a while...............................

well certainly has been a while since posting!

we have an new addition to the family, paul reckons he couldn't resist him, altough im not sure of him but am sure he will grow on me he is just so tiny, he is a horned lizard and rare! Paul and his sister has named him Damien,
as u can tell he already been out and had his pics taken
I was at the edinburgh festival fireworks on sunday 31st August despite the fact it was heaving it was good, i really enjoyed the music but have decided princess street isnt the answer for the best pictures as the fireworks are let off from the front of the castle so we get loads of effect from the smoke but still pretty good effects
have to re think my plan for next year



finally i entered a pet comptition and am so chuffed as two of my pets have made it to the top 12(in differet caterogies so im pleased just need everybody to support ,me and help me win now
this is merlin he in top finalist for best looking other pet
and this is pliskin

busy last week of the school holidays

Ive been way busy this week and have had a great week!
It was my friends sons birthday
so I spent the day with them, and was there for him opening his presents
and off course I had my trusted camera again! He had ball, AAron and his Mum ended up going to Mill Farm amd I wished I had gone http://www.livingstonalive.co.uk/almondvalley.shtml it looked like it was a great day despite the rain.
















I think Aarons favourite present was his huge water gun
and trex from primevil!
We also went bowling with aaron and Katrina which was a great day out! I hadnt been bowling for ages so really enjoyed it
back to reality and back to work got a lot to pay out for especially in the month of october!!



I Have started christmas shopping well only a little but seen and thought it was the perfect present for my best friend well part of her present
