Holiday 2012: Day 4

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Day four brought with it a visit to Blackgang Chine: A name that has resonated throughout my life. My Mum and Dad took David and me there years and years ago, not that I remember the place at all, just the name. Although I doubt it was as impressive back then as it is now, there are some aspects that…

Holiday 2012: Day 3

Day three brought a real inspiration (as opposed to the semi-inspirational woodland of day two) - Butterfly World. I made sure I got some amazing shots. Surely the one with the green pattern looks too much like a tasty caterpillar? It'd be eaten in no time. Can't wait to use their patterns in some kind of creative endeavour. I also…

Jane, Claire, Lewis, Ethan and I popped over to the Isle of Wight today, a little place called Whitecliff Bay. The ferry ride was peaceful enough, we went up to the top deck and soaked in the beautiful sea air. I do so miss the sea air. When we got to the Isle of Wight, Claire thought she'd avoid traffic…

My other cousin got married

The brother of this one. As a nice juxtaposition to his brother's Wedding, it was kinda budget. It looked nice enough and all, but it was just a sports hall in Southampton made to look flowery and shit. It was generally chaotic to be honest, with Best Men rushing around organising the buffet, and only one bar when in reality,…

Holiday 2011: Day 8

The drive home was pretty uneventful. We stopped in a random Tesco on the way back, visited the toilets and got some sausage rolls. The journey to get home seemed longer than the journey to get there for some reason. Smudge was so cute when we pulled into the drive. She was sitting at the semi-open window of the garage-room,…

We went to Torquay on day six. This was one of my favourite days. Myrtle was obsessed with finding a Marks and Spencers in Torquay. I'm not sue why when we have a couple not too far away from where we live. The shopping area in Torquay was really nice, although it did sprawl a little. Lots of little streets…

Got up and had a shower. The shower was nice. The bathroom in general was quite nice too. Then we had a fried breakfast. This, supposedly, was to fill us up so we wouldn't want lunch 'til later in the day, but I found I was still hungry at the usual lunch time. We went to Paignton Zoo on day…

Great weekend

It was great. On Saturday, Jane and I went shopping in Portsmouth, we went for lunch at Jamie Oliver's Italian, I bought 4 new polo shirts (£80!!) and I finally put my "propose to her at the top of the Spinnaker Tower" plan into action. By the way, the food was amazing, the shirts will no doubt soon not fit…

It was Michelle's 30th birthday bash earlier in the week, it was a fancy dress theme (more specifically, a pink fancy dress theme), and my oh my, there were some crazy outfits on show. We were quite refined, Jane and I, we went as Gangsters, complete with a pink tommy-gun. Jane had a whale of a time, doing all the…
