Bradley and I were treated to a fanastic football weekend by my Sister-in-law and her family. She is a Manchester United fan along with her son George. When they were offered four tickets to a Man U game at Old Trafford with  accommodationat the Marriott hotel she invited me and one of the boys. Bradley and I travelled to Manchester with my Sister-in-law on Saturday morning. After a long but unevently drive we booked into the hotel, had a spot of lunch then headed to the stadium. After an exciting match (which Manchester United won 2-1) it was back to the hotel. After a swim in the pool it was back to the room where room service delivered sandwiches. We travelled back today but I think Bradley has a tastes of the high life so it was back to earth with a bump.

Friday was my last day at work for 2 weeks and as we are not going on holiday I wanted to make sure we got a couple of trips to Camber Sands during my time off. Everyone bowed out at the last minute on Saturday so it ended up being just me and the two boys. Weather was lovely and spent all day on the beach. There was a church group which turned up and after singing a few hymns most of them went into the sea and then they baptised three of their group. Not something you see everyday on an English beach but different.

Then today my dad came down for a visit, I am sure I must already  have a picture of David with his great-grandad but I know that everytime I have the two of them together the camera is going to have to come out.

Today was my Sister-in-laws birthday. Weather  was great, loads of family to chat to. Kids running round. Altogether we had a lovely day. Stayed later than we planned but thats what happens when you are chatting to family, to flies.

This is Maureen the birthday girl

Been itching to get the camera out but work has been hectic and the weather has been pretty dismal.  However this afternoon managed to leave work early and when I got in hubby said that there was parakeet’s in the garden. They had gone by the time I got the camera out but there was an obliging hover-fly. Well you have to use whatever models you can get.
