Wilma, yesterday, Skinningrove Beach!

"Dogs are better than children.Even my friends with children say that.

As a dog friend of mine likes to say, children are for people who can't have dogs."

I laughed when I read the quote above. Not sure who said it but it is funny!

Yes, another visit to the beach with Wilma and to add a point of interest into our time there I played hunt the ball! As you can see, Wilma eventually clawed her way up the base of the cliffs to retrieve the ball. We spent a very active 40 minutes in all and Wilma slept for the best part of the afternoon.

For dinner on Saturday I cooked salmon fillets.....more of that on Wednesday!

Today, Sunday we decided to go out for a bike ride.

We were heading towards the Lakes kind of direction but after about 9 miles it became quite obvious we were heading in the wrong direction as the sky looked really dark ahead.

We turned round and went to Whitby!

We had a short break and as Jon was eating his soup I read one of the motorbike newspapers which was in the cafe. I commented that the Moto GP Assen Round takes place on my birthday weekend.."Do you fancy going? Jon said!

Well, I can tell you once the thought was put into my tiny brain my mind went into overdrive. We love going to Holland as we travel on the overnight ferry from Newcastle, only about one hour's ride from our house. So I did have a good think!

Here you can see the rain on the bike!

We went home, but first we went to the fishmongers, a fantastic place I always use.

The Whitby Catch

I enjoy kippers! Have you ever eaten kippers?

Jon waited for me on the harbourside, I thought this would make a good photograph with the view of Whitby in the background!

By the time we arrived home I had indeed thought about going to Assen and to cut a long story short I can now say at 5.25pm we are now booked on the Ferry and have 2 nights booked in a hotel in Emmen! How is that for action!

Tomorrow I will book the GP Race Day Tickets.

This is who we support...

James Toseland

Not only is he British, infact the only Brit in the competition, but he is from yorkshire!

I have met James on a few occasions and will have to dig out my photographs and bore you all with them! LOL! Watch this space!

Talking of yorkshire.....this always makes me laugh! ENJOY!

Yes, a great weekend!

You can't be in a wide open space like the sky and not do any thinking!

Sitting in the aeroplane, helpless.................started me thinking.... Call out the instigator Because theres something in the air Weve got to get together sooner or later Because the revolutions here And you know its right And you know that its right We have got to get it together We have got to get it together now One of my all time favourites from Thunderclap Newmman! Are you missing something? Looking for something? Tired of everything Searching and struggling Are you worried about it? Do you wanna talk about it? Oh You're gonna get it right some time Theres so much to be scared of And not much to make sense of Are you running in a circle? You can't be too careful And you can't relate it 'Cos it's complicated Oh You're gonna get it right some time You're gonna get it right some time It's how you see the world How many times can you see? You can't believe what you learn It's how you see the world Don't you worry yourself Your not gonna get hurt Is there something missing? There's nobody listening Are you scared of what you don't know? Dont wanna end up on your own? You need conversation And information Gonna get it right sometimes You just wanna get it right sometimes It's how you see the world How many times have you heard? You can't believe a word It's how you see the world Don't you worry yourself 'Cos nobody can learn That's how you see the world That's how you see the world In a haze, a stormy haze, Ill be round Ill be loving you always, always. Here I am and Ill take my time Here I am and Ill wait in line always Always. (Both Coldplay) Lonely lookin sky Lonely sky, lonely looking sky And bein lonely Makes you wonder why Makes you wonder why Lonely looking sky Lonely looking sky Lonely looking sky Lonely looking night Lonely night, lonely looking night And bein lonely Never made it right Never made it right Lonely looking night Lonely looking night Lonely looking night Sleep we sleep For we may dream While we may Dream we dream For we may wake One more day One more day Glory looking day Glory day, glory looking day And all its glory Told a simple way Behold it if you may Glory looking day Glory looking day Lonely looking sky (Neil Diamond....from Jonathan Livingston Seagull)

A Welcome Break!

We had a fantastic time in London! We had an ACTION PACKED time in London! We left our house at 6am on Saturday and drove to Durham?teesside Airport for the 8am flight to London, Heathrow. We arrived at 8.50! We made our way to South Kensington and left our case at the Hotel, then off we went for a full afternoon in the Science Museum. We walked back to the hotel, had a rest & shower then off we went in search of liquid refresments! Th hotel had it's own Italian Restaurant so we had a lovely meal with a nice cold white wine and watched the world go by. We slept well!!! Sunday, as expected was very hot, so we decided it would be coolest near the River Thames. We spent the day on a river cruise, hopping off and on at various stops along the way. We had lunch on the Embankment and Jon spent some time in The tower Bridge Exhibition beforw we walked up the riverside to the Tate Modern where I spent some time. After a lovely Italian pizza we made our way on the sea clipper to London Bridge where we caught the underground to Green Park where we changed for Heathrow. We arrived at 7.45 at Heathrow and after a short delay our plane left at 9.15pm. We arrived home around 11ish! Ready for a cold beer! Fantastic weekend!
