Chessington Day Trip

Monday we all went to Chessington thanks to our clubcard vouchers 12 of us got in and only had to buy one child ticket.
What agreat day it was fiarly busy and apart from queing for twenty minutes for the dragon ride to be told it had broken down most of the rides were only 10 to 15 minutes waiting so not to bad.
The zoo and sealife areas were brilliant and the tigers cubs we running about though it was a bit hot for them.
Will definitly go again the kids enjoyed it we even got Lou Mum Dad and me on the vampire it was excellent had it been earlier in the day we would have qued up again.

New location for BBQ and Bar

Been busy all day moving the bar shed and building a slabbed area for the BBQ so all the bits are up by the patio.
Have bought a new metal gazebo to go permanently on the patio it should arrive Monday hopefully then will have to build it and anchor it down.
Pleased so far now got to sort the rest of the garden out.

Back to School

I may noy have been at work for a couple weeks now but I have been busy I was lucky enough to be able to go with the boys school to the Kent County Show on Friday.
I went with Matthew's class we only had about four hours up there so really did not get to see a great deal but what we did see was worth it, Last time I went I was at school myself so that must be twenty years ago(scary that) well Ihave stuck a couple of pics on.
On the Saturday I was asked if I could take the owls to the school fete which I gladly did.
Due to Abbot being slightly overweight 3lb 10oz he would not do a flying display so I took him and Chelsea and some of the equipment.
I was truly amazed how many people (kids and adults) that had never seen an owl and some were not even sure what they were.
I find it great to be able to show these birds and explain how they live in the wild.
Chris a friend of ours took some lovely close ups so here are some up to date pics of Abbot and Chelsea.

European open Golf

On Thursday we went up to the Europeqn Open First round.
It was a cracking day and well worth going the course was in excellent condition and we saw some brilliant shots.
Got a little bit sunburnt I have a bright red face and my forehead is blistering but I won't complain (to much).
As you can see from the pics it stayed nice all day we found the bar(surprisingly we did not use though) and the BBQ but at £6.50 for a gourmet cheeseburger I was glad we took a picnic.











































This is Darren Clarke coming up the 18th which was a good hole to watch as it caught several players out including Montgomerie seen here in the bunker and not happy wit his out shot(still it was better than I could have done)
































































And here is the two old ones discussing how the holes should have been played
Thanks Del,Alf and Dad for a brilliant day.
