time for a blog

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.
