£2000 in old money

Having got back from holiday i've downloaded over 1000 photo's taken over the two weeks.

If i had used 35mm that would have cost me £2000 in film + D&P.

Amazing to think how technology lowers the cost in some areas.

Now i just have to sort through them (which is a time cost) and then print some out (some cost in ink and paper). Though i think i win out here as i have 1,000+ memories of our holidays.

Inquisitive minds

Your 6, your on holiday and you find a big hole in the ground! What are you supposed to do? This is what happens when an inquisitive mind gets the better of you!

Jnr offroaders

Spent a week at Gleneagles in Scotland last week. Everyone in the family had something special to do. Dad enjoyed the clays - though on the 2nd day they were disappearing in the FOG!

The kids got to try their hand at offroading. Gleneagles have 1/2 scale series 1 land rover replicas. Electric power. Instructor carries wireless remote control kill switch just in case!

The small folk even have their own special course with includes obstacles such as: Rumbling rocks, tilting bridge, turtle backs, logs, camel humps, off set logs, windy ridge, moguls etc

T Minus 5 sleeps!

A major KPI used by the short people in the house is "number of sleeps before something happens". We are counting down till 1/2 term holidays. Ladies and Gentlemen we are officially at "T minus 5 sleeps" before the Landie, guns, a the rest of the kit heads North. Scotland here we come.

Normal Service will resume shortly.....

Been to California with business then flew back, got off plane, unpacked, sleep, breakie, pack....then 2 weeks holiday. Couldn't have picked the weather better!

400 piccies to sort through before next excursion to Belfast at the weekend to see the outlaws!

Oi Cheeky!

Met this young lady at Queen Victoria's summer pad - Osbourne House, IOW. The cheek of it!

Ferry across the solent

Spent the day on the Isle of Wight today. 0930hrs ferry out and then we managed to get on the 1730hrs back. This shot taken as we leave Fishbourne, IOW for Portsmouth on a lovely spring day.

Builders!

Holiday home still needs a bit of work to finish it off!

Fowey

The lovely town of Fowey. Only a few miles down the road from the St Austell Brewery. Proper job!

And through the round window.....

For those of you who remember a famous childrens programme, tonights story will be from the round window!

The only way is up!

We've been on holiday in Cornwall for 4 days. Fowey to be precise. Lovely small town built on a hillside.

Great family hotel on the top of the hill.

Great coffee shops at the bottom of the hill!

What goes down must eventually come up!
