Hair

So Sam has the most gorgeous hair colour, hair colour I would kill to have and today she dyed it! I have to admit though the dye has bought out some lovely dark red highlights so it does look very nice.

Suffolk Show

On Thursday the 4 of us went to the Suffolk Show for the first time in about 9 years, the kids quickly became bored hanging around wth the "oldies" so we sent them off with some money in their pockets and their mobile phones. They came back covered in sticlers and wearing silly hats so they must have had fun!

Stuart and I had fun too, we discovered a dalek and a tardis!

We were also transfixed by one of the acts in the main ring, Jive pony they were called, I was transfixed by the skill they were showing on the horses, Stuart was transfixed by smething else!

All in all a great day out.

Midnight Walk

So Last Saturday myself and about 2000 other women decided to walk 8 miles around Ipswich at midnight! All for charity of course. It was a lovely evening just right for walking, there were a few perks around the course, particulary these at one of the refreshment stops!

It took us just under 3 hours and i finally staggered into bed about 330 am, my legs were really painful for a good 3 days afterwards!

Cars!

So now Stuart has finished his garage he needs a car to put in it. He is still undecided what to go for but is thinking about a Bristol. So off we went to our local classic car event the annual Ipswich to felixstowe run. They all gather in Christchurch Park before setting off.
Alex and Stuart were looking at all the cars with me trailing behind. I decided I liked the Triumph vitesse but Stuart is still keener on a Bristol. To his delight he found 3 Bristols and was able to have a good old natter to the owners about restoration etc. Alex was the official photographer for the day and managed to take photos of the bristols from every angle much to Stuarts delight!
