Five more sleeps..

until Brad Paisley rocks the 02 in London .... *squeak*
I absolutely cannot wait and will be there with bestie enjoying everything the H20 II tour has to offer.

Still no word on the support act but have glimpsed a possible set-list from Setlist.FM and I LOVE IT!

This is the perfect remedy to all the malaise of recent! Paisley Party! Here I come!

One more Sleep until all things Royal

This time tomorrow I will be en route to Buckingham Palace to gawp at the Royal Wedding Dress and no doubt squeal in delight.

If that wasn't enough, there will be a side visit to the Tower of London (one of my favourite places) to show Mum the Crown Jewels.

A totally fantastic day and I cannot wait!

Baby Seals!!!!!

Several weeks ago my Aunt went to RAF Donna Nook across the river in Lincolnshire (we're in Yorkshire) to check out the baby seals. Since the 1970s grey seals have been coming to Donna Nook in the Autumn months to have their pups - over 1,300 were born last year!

It's a sanctuary and completely free and a wonderful place to visit and see baby seals. I went a few days after my Aunt told me about it and was blown away (I took about 100 photos!) Baby and adult seals everywhere. Wild. And all on my 'doorstep'. It was a fantastic experience and a lovely day out. Will definitely be going back next Autumn when they return to see it all again!

Clipper!

The Red Arrows - Spectacular!
The Hull and Humber Yacht

The Australian Yacht in the middle

Today was the start of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race (leaving from Hull). Oh it was a FANTASTIC day. Perfect for sailing - all nice and blustery! And I think we had nearly all the Yachts covered between my Aunt, Mum, Dad and me (as we had the Finnish, Australian and English flags!) LOL!

It was fantastic and an amazing turnout - about 100,000 they thought. A really nice atmosphere too. The Red Arrow display was absolutely out of this world and lasted for ages too (we're so used to them doing a fly-by as they train up the Humber, it was nice to see them do so many tricks etc).

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Can't wait to see all the boats back in ten months! (By the way ONLY the Skipper on each Yacht has any sailing experience ... the rest are complete novices!)
