Day 31

A rather relaxed day punctuated with a brief trip into the mayhem of the Matthew Street Festival.

Day 30

Went for a wander more or less in the right direction on Cannock Chase before coming home.

Day 29

Matt beat the former Wimbledon player....

Day 28

Coming back home - a sign of things to come.....

Day 27

We went on a windyish boat trip which meant we couldn't see the grottes but saw some pretty sights anyway.

Day 26

Found a quieter beach, then watched the sun set from the town walls before a scrummy dinner. Spot the couple in the background who posed like that for about 5mins while they had their photo taken.

Day 25

We didn't realise just how hot it had been until the evening but Tuesday was hot, hot, hot - up to 40. Wandered round the old town, sunbathed for the odd five minutes before having to run (hop across the hot sand) into the sea to cool off!

Day 24

So here's the holiday upload - thanks to Tanya for opening the pages. Arrived in Sardinia late evening and went for a wander - the sea was THIS clear!

Day 23

Just what is there to say?

Day 22

Too hot for hockey, though I do seem to have avoided the bandana/socks/skirt tan line.

Day 21

Oo, look at the transformation of the Dulley's garden. Those sunflowers are very tall!

Day 20

A relaxing evening at home for a change!

Day 19

I sat down for most of the day - to drink coffee, to get my hair done, then to watch Coco avant Chanel - excellent.

Day 18

A day of fun! Profiteroles for lunch with Alice and Sara then joined Cath and Lucy Day for a super-informative tour of St George's Hall. The things I could tell you...... One of which was that Conan Doyle first read aloud The Hound of the Baskervilles from this small concert room with his own dog beside him. Dickens was also a frequent visitor.

Day 17

Oops, forgot to put this up. Achievement of the day - new lock - I am now all secure!

Day 16

After a late night, an early get up to clamber around the trees of Croxteth. Did not always feel completely secure....!!!

Day 15

Happy Birthday Vikki - yummy choclate cake!!

Day 14

Today marks the start of two weeks of holiday. Phew. To commemorate my odd week at work here is a bike I helped make out of straws. The second picture is the Port of Liverpool building looking rather snazzy - lit up all to music. Excellent spontaneous outing with Cath, Alice and Emily.

Day 13

I thought this fella deserved a posting - there are about 6 of these statues near a roundabout in between Preston mail centre and the M6 that I've passed every day this week. No idea what they are but today I decided to park the car up and take a piccie of them.

Day 12

Happy face - I passed my PRINCE course so the week's ridiculously hard slog in Rugby was all worth it!

Day 11

Nowt on TV so we laughed at an episode of No Angels.

Day 10

Easyish day at work - on a training course in Preston (all week....) so decided to cook some nice food for tea. Leek risotto with pan-fried cod and prosciutto - yum!

Day 9

Beautiful day again - shorts in the camp site at 9am. Came home via Tewkesbury where we climbed to the top of the tower and had a good look round!

Day 8

A beautiful day for camping - stopped in to see the grandparent's on the way.

Day 7

Not much of a picture - spied this on a night out with work - they seem to be out and about everywhere at the moment.

Day 6

Not a day with many highlights - work, cleaning etc. So instead I'm focusing on tomorrow - day 1 of the fourth test - will Freddie be fit to go and PLEASE lets beat the Aussie's again so we don't have to worry too much for the final test!

Day 5

Bye bye Sallie. Where are you going again?

Day 4

After a busy evening I enjoyed a tasty bakewell tart.

Day 3

Late uploaded but this was taken from my car whilst in a queue leaving work. On a sunny day I think it would be quite pretty!

Day 2

I had a sweet in the shpae of a post box today.

Day 1

Do you think I should go in for a career change and start rescuing people?
