At last I have time to do a little blog. Honestly I don't know where people find the time, every time I think of doing one something comes along and I never quite make it... But anyway here I am at 11pm with a glass of red and Jonothan Ross (and Mark), so here goes. Well Hyde Park was brill, v hot but the best atmosphere, amazingly out of 40,000 people we managed to sit next to a family who live about 3 miles up the road from us! Small world or what? My brother in law Neil and neice Laura came with us and we managed to meet up with Marietta and one or two others so all in all it was a very special day. We also took Gary and Stephs blanket for it's first outing, v comfy thanks you two ! You can tell it was hot 'cos we're all wearing funny hats which is definately a bit English! Mine is like a flowerpot but it did the trick.
That reminds me about dying my hair, or not , as the case may be. I don't much like the thought of bleach, sounds a bit like lavvies. You know sometimes when you see products that are 'Herbal' you think they sound like maybe they'll do the biz without actually doing any damage? Well wrong, they don't, do the trick that is, I tried one for highlights but after an hour and a half I just had a wierd orangey yellow colour and I have fairish hair anyway. How can they go on selling stuff that doesn't work? So I went back for the bleachy stuff that you mix in a plastic pot
and now I have fab highlights for £2.99 I love it....
We went to Turkey a couple of weeks back and stayed in a friends house out in the countryside, which was just beautiful. The weather was perfect and the locals were so lovely to us, bringing us fresh oranges and eggs and the children loved watching Mark do magic tricks for them, and playing football which they are mad about. It's such a lovely country. One day we hired a boat all to ourselves and went up the river in Dalyan and then down again to the famous Turtle beach and past the fabulous tombs cut into the rocks.
Something's up with this blog, it won't let me post any more pics, so I'll just publish this now and then try some more photos.
I've just spent a few days in glorious Sheringham in Norfolk where I lived for 30 odd years just yards from the beach. The weather was perfect not as hot as the rest of the UK but just lovely. These photos were taken around 7.30am yesterday when the tide was on it's way out and the local fishermen were bringing in the famous Sheringham crabs. I saw a few old friends but spent most of my time with my Mum, helping her in the garden and going on expeditions to choose a microwave oven which at 84 is the first one she's ever had. Somehow I don't think she will use it, she doesn't have much faith in "these new ideas" as she calls them! Sheringham is a great place, a little sleepy perhaps but I'm glad my children were born and brought up there even though we've all moved on now.
