The Sunday Fraggle Report

I have had a busy couple of weeks, with not too many opportunities for photography, but managed a few iPhone shots. Have been upgraded now to the 6 and the camera is better. Last week I went down south to visit Ben and Lewis as it was Lewis’ 5th birthday. On the Saturday we took him to Milton Keynes shopping centre, and had a Burger King lunch and then shopping for transformers.

Sunday was the actual birthday party which had a superhero theme, and Lewis was going to be Batman. A few ninja moves practised first…

On the Sunday afternoon I went to stay with my friend Helen in Biggleswade, the weather was so awful we couldn’t go out with our cameras, but made do with a shot of Harley, who slept with me on the sofa and kept my legs warm in the night.

Then back home on the Monday and back to work Tuesday. I managed a lunch break in Redcar and took a couple of shots

This weekend is Phil’s birthday weekend ~ officially tomorrow but I’ll be at work all day, so I’ve cooked some yummy dinners for him and left a present for him for tomorrow. Phil’s sister and her hubster came over this afternoon and also Shelley and Cal, they brought Birthday cake….

I tried cooking Salmon & Spinach En Croute from Jamie Olivers recipes. I normally suck at following a recipe but this one turned out really yummy.

Well what a change to have some kind weather and blue skies. And what a change to get a 1/2 hour lunch break by the sea down at Redcar.  A strange place is Redcar, it has a beautiful sandy beach, but is surrounded by industrial stuff. A wind farm out to see, and a power plant further down the coast. It belches out smoke from its chimney’s all the time. COrus steel works are in Redcar too, so the sky is always hazy even on clear sunny days like today.  Anyway it was nice to have a break and get a couple of shots of my fave birds too!
