winter

This was the view from my back door last night, winter has arrived! 

the road over the hill is closed! (in fact all the hills!)

Back to work tomorrow after nearly a week and a half off! 

preparations will start next week for the trip!!

Flights

after a lot of thinking I went on the interwebby thing and started to look for flights back to the uk after the run, I tried a few of the big names and got the "sorry only return flights" until I found The Gambia experience,
flight back with one of the 'other' big names all to Manchester £400, at least I have a return date on the books to keep my boss happy. 

planning will start in Ernest next week once we have the festive season over with!!!

happy new year to you all

holiday time AKA Christmas!!

well its the  24th of decemer, I am now down at my parents, my sister and her brood arrived two days ago and  my Cousin and her hurricanes arrive tonight the stress is building!

on a lighter note panto is going well, my lines are still being forgotten!!

I wish you all a happy holiday and all that jazz.

happenings!!

Been a bit hectic since the last post!! Fundraising is still going on (little by little!!) so far I am around the £1800 mark.
The bus is being painted and a new clutch is being fitted by the wonderful people at Stagecoach. should now get it at Christmas!

The reason I haven't blogged in the last wee while is that I signed up to help as stage crew in the local pantomime, then one of the leading parts had to drop out and I sort of volunteered myself as the dame! most evenings from now till Christmas will involve make up, padded bras, skirts and the odd whip!!
after that I will earnestly start preparing for the 8th of March!!
as the cartoon says : That's all folks!!
