Ian and Wrighty before they set out on the manchester to Liverpool bike ride thing

We managed to see see them on Booker Avenue........

And the boys after fnishing (minus neil who wnet home for a shower!)

Top day - much beer/wine - love it!

here's the picture!

here is a picture of phil and karen - they're ace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This stopped me farming - bah humbug....

A very lovely weekend. Casino Royale at the club was brilliant and the company was superb. No pics - but i was very pleased with the way AJts hair turned out.

Today was busy - on a train at 8.30 to head off to Manchester to do a 10k with very sore feet (from wearing silly girl shoes last night) and a big hangover. I felt sick for the first 3k , needed the loo from about 5k onwards but really enjoyed it and did 54mins - which i was very pleased with. Bring on the half next year....

Here is my medal

Ian and the girls did fab waving at half way and we then met up in rusholme for a curry lunch. I miss Manchester alos and It was lovely to see the University and Whitworth Park - I even caught a glimpse of Jabez Clegg - so many memories!

Ian had to scoot off to the airport to fly to germany with work and we met up with my pals from work katie and tom - who had also run the 10k (tom did 49mins - WOWzers) and we had beers and a lovely time. It was the first time becca had met Tom and she has fallen in love big time!!!!

Jodie and katie coleman got on like a house on fire as usual! TOP WEEKEND - lovely friends - lucky me......

Jodie Alice wanted to be a tiger - and for some reason had to be naked! This also involved press ups - which was really quite odd.....

And I can't wait for tomorrow night - this is AJT demonstrating her lovely dress for Saturday night on one of Jodie's dolls. Let's hope the dress lives up to this preview........

My sweaty head after a soggy run tonight. Quite a scary picture really.........

I get the feeling that becca and jojac are far more into the concept of real farming than their parents......

This is a lovely picture of Kim and we had a top time out for her birthday tonight!

No picture.........need to go to bed.....

Busy Sunday

We headed off to town on the train which is always a treat for these two.
I am still blown away every time I see this - it is a brilliant example of something that is just for the sake of it - love it.

On the suggestion of Cath (or was it Alice - not sure!) we spent a few hours in the Tate. Our favourute bit was a room full of sculptures where you put on a pair of haeadphones and some funky tunes were playing as you wander round. One of the exhibits was a Saturday Night Fever danclefloor - complete with colour changing squares - where you could get down and boogie! And boy did we boogie.......
The day finished with some real farming (finally planted the potatoes) and some serious snail hunting.

This is quite a scary picture of becca at her friends party today. She makes me lol!

A picture of the beautiful AJT and a smaller than normal slb.

Picture catchup

How big does this thing look outside our house - it's possibly the best thing we have ever bought (next to the last one we bought....) and is truely a home away from home. So nice to be in the outside.

We mostly did laughing, drinking and eating which is my idea of a very good weekend. This is Rache who has been my bessie mate since I was 5 and is a very special person. We look grim.....

We were quite literally in the middle of nowhere - this is Lucy, Poppy and Jodie Alice

And one for today - a brilliant picture drawn by Becca. I'm not sure which one is me!

We have had a super weekend with lovely friends (who I miss a lot). And I am now being hampered by technology and can't get any pictures off my phone to share. I am unfortunatley too tired to persist any longer so will try and find some pictures for tomorrow........
