DRIFFIELD SHOW 2010



Driffield Show was round again last week with Dawn taking various positions including two firsts with her entries which included "Baa Baa Brocolli", a greetings card, a "Sky" monster and a robot. All together she won six certificates. The pictures show entries from the kiddies handicrafts plus Dawn with some of her entries and certificates.

On a more serious note the Marie Curie stall had been moved this year to a very bad position near to toilets and a chinese noodle bar on a very dusty unmade road with the result that the Tombola takings were down and although we showed a relatively small profit, a complaint is going to be made to the show organisers.

Overall i'm sure the show will have been a success with good weather and big crowds.

SHREK 4 V TOY STORY 3




Shrek 4 - The Final Chapter : Rumpelstiltskin tricks Shrek into allowing himself to be erased from existence and cast into a dark alternate timeline where Rumpel rules supreme. Rated 8/10
Toy Story 3 : The toys are mistakenly delivered to a day-care centre instead of being put in the attic just before Andy leaves for college and its up to Woody to convince the other toys that they weren't abandoned and return home. Watch out for the scary "Big Baby". Brilliant, already seen it twice. Rated 10/10

NORFOLK SHORT HOLIDAY


Nanna and Grandad went off to Norfolk on June 27th for four days staying at The Old Pump House B&B in Aylsham. A busy few days saw them visit Felbrigg Hall, Cromer and Blickling Hall (picture above). They also bought orchids in the Aylsham flower auction, ate out a couple of times and consumed a bit of alcohol - it being Nanna's birthday on June 28th. I stayed with Katy, Paul and Dawn for the duration.

Since their return we have had a bit of a family BBQ to celebrate Nanna's birthday with Katy and family and Colin with his family. Simon, Karen, Martin and Mikey have flown off to Canada for a 17 day holiday. You can keep in touch with their diary by going to http://simesstuff.blogspot.com/
