National Fancy Dress Day - April 3rd



Its a long time ago since the first National Fancy Dress Day... so I thought I would revive it! April the 3rd is now the date which will become the OFFICIAL NATIONAL FANCY DRESS DAY
Its been on my mind for a while now and was inspired by watching people wear the same things everyday with no individuality. People usually wear Fancy Dress for charity or to a party... now they have a day to enjoy wearing crazy outfits, just because. Well why not eh? At least it will brighten up my birthday! :o)

Oh la la!




Just returned from a few days in La Provance de France. The aeroplane took three attempts to land in severe stormy weather conditions and there was a moment when life looked a little bleak but after crash landing all was fine! I was staying in a 1000 year old Chateaux which has been under both French and English command! An amazing place, it is filled to the brim with strange and unusual artifacts including this crocodile whic was stolen by theives and mysteriously returned months later.

Uncle Rob's day out!



Here are three of my Neices on Brittas Bay beach, in Ireland, where we spent quite some time collecting shells and stones. We ate grown up meals for lunch and then off to the cinema to watch Enchanted. We managed to spill popcorn everywhere but that always happens to me. They have all become excellent at pool since Santa bought a table down the chimney!

Holy Snakes!



A few nights ago I had the pleasure of looking after Sydney the Snake... At the moment this photo was taken he was starting to wrap himself round my neck so that he could eat me for dinner. Normaly I admit to a slight fear of snakes like Syd but he was well behaved and, well, quite sweet really!
