And The Rest of the Week

And the rest of the week - Jamie was Will Scarlet in his school play, as you can see in the picture below, school had done this really well and it was a really enjoyable show, well done everyone. It was really clear how much hard work had gone into the production.


Here is the company I have had when I have been doing my homework, she just plonks herself down, makes herself comfy and there she stays - she's a cat so of course, I have to work around her!!

Jamie ready for an adventure with the cubs, I joined him later and helped out in the afternoon, and an enjoyable time it was too, even if I was totally shattered by the end of it. They were on a Knights and Dragons day camp and they were doing lots of adventurous tasks relating to that such as making horses and jousting sticks and then trying to burst balloons whilst using their jousts!! But of course the best fun was the campfire food at the end of the day.

Mike also had a wander this week with his friend Martin, they headed off on the train to Blackpool, not sure why as sadly Blackpool is not the place it once was, but they seemed to have a good time. They also managed to catch up with our friend Chappers at Crewe station, it has been far too long since we have seen her, I hope to catch up with her at some point later in the year.

Some images from Mike and Martin's day in Blackpool.

Tuesday 8th September

Jamie was up, dressed and ready for school before Mike and I were up - wonderful. Mike as I have hinted was busy with some of his Friars stuff today and it was a biggie, as I have hinted - he was meeting Steve Hackett from the original line-up of Genesis to present him with a Friars award and had a fantastic time interviewing him over lunch in Richmond, London. He was truly made up with meeting one of his all time heroes - a true giant in music - you can see it on his face! (I am not worthy!)

He then went on to take a few photos of a couple of railway stations and then he was stopped by the Police and questioned about his activities under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act! I always knew that hobby was going to get him into trouble, the policeman was very nice apparently and explained why he chatted to him. I am surprised it has taken this long for him to be stopped! It brought much merriment at school pick-up time today!

As for me well I had a very ordinary day, with all the usual bits and pieces to be done and I have managed to clear my desk too (well almost).
