Earlier this year I had the pleasure of going to the Lake District, A Little place called Hartsop. It was a beautiful place and a walkers dream, me not being much of a walking person did not think that I would enjoy it that much. However I truly did.

This was the house that we stayed in it was lovely but the first night I was pretty scary.

Obviously being the ''Lake'' District they was few lakes and it was a really nice place and as you are driving through the mountains it was a pretty amazing.

This was the hill, mountain or peak (whatever you wish to call it really) which was right outside our house! it don't look that big but trust me it was I think i got one quarter or the way up and had to go back!!

When we were there we went on 2 waterfall walks that was amazing I did not think that they had this kind of thing in England... I was wrong.

This was a random stream very lovely.

All in all - Lake District 10 out of 10

A few months ago I helped deliver 11 Puppies

This is the day they were born. It was a messy affair, but worth it in the end!!

They were hungry little things

A few weeks later and they got big, really Quick.

And still very Hungry.

And this is them the last time I got to see them before they went off to their new homes. They are so much fun to be around and I'm going to miss them.

If I could I would keep them all.

If you're heading to Bug Jam this weekend (Friday 18th to Sunday 20th July 2008 at Santa Pod Raceway) - make sure you look out for fluxbabes Penny, Keely and Rachelle! They will be there at supporting our friends from HIC, who are specialists in VW Insurance.

It's difficult to know where to start as there's so much going on over the weekend! From VW Drag Racing, Show and Shine and the opportunity to "run what ya brung" (Strictly V Dubs only!) there's also bands and comedians performing day and night, a skate park, roller skating ring and funfair! So you won't be short of things to do!

Check out the tickets page on the Bug Jam website for all ticket info.

Every summer Kings Lynn holds a free music festival, called Festival Too, held in the town centre spread over a few weekends. During the days, there are clowns and various other street entertainments going on, and by night the market place fills with people (15,000 this year so we're told) and the stage is taken by not only names like Toyah, Atomic Kitten, Heather Small (last year), and The Human League (from 2006) but also tribute bands and local bands.

This year we were lucky enough to have performances by Toyah, The Commitments, After Hours, T-Rextasy, Boot-Led-Zeplin, Pentasonic and local bands - The First, After Hours Blues Band, The Brink, and Kuda. This years Festival was headed lined by Atomic Kitten!

I only went to the final night, that featured The Brink, Kuda and Atomic Kitten - mainly as my brother plays bass for Kuda - I'm not really into the girlie pop stuff! Give me some Glamorous Indie Rock 'n' Roll anyday....

(apologies Keith - I seem to have cut you in half!)

Both bands were brilliant, and I'm glad that LOG has finally seen Kuda play - he can now no longer say they're a imaginary band! Plus I got a badge from The Brink!

By the sounds of it, every night was brilliant (despite the rain) with crowds of people and a great atmosphere. There's not many towns that can say they have a totally free music festival every summer and get acts like Atomic Kitten to perform!

Next year we've been promised bigger and better - which the organisers keep delivering, so it'll be interesting to see who we get next year! I've got my fingers crossed for the Foo Fighters or 30 Seconds to Mars....or maybe even Muse.... now to see any of them I'd claim my place at the front......from dawn.....with Jenny right beside me!

Have just come back from a girlie weekend in benidorm and we had a wicked time. Not much sun but that meant more time in the bars soaking up the beers!

My Boyfriends Mum has just got some new cows and I went to Visit them............

This is one of the Cows having a drink, they make the most funniest noise when they are having a drink like they are drinking through a straw (most amusing).

Here are some of the cows having a drink of Water, they are really friendly, I Named the Little one Mattherson.

The Best and most strangest things about cows is when they lick there lips there tongues go right up there noses hehe : )

Last week I was lucky enough to escape the UK for a few days, and headed with my other half, LOG, to the eternal city of Rome. Now my favourite place in the world!

We managed to fit seeing everything in, St Peters, the Sistine Chapel, The Pantheon, Villa Borghese, the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Colosseum, several other fountains and piazzas, the Forum and not forgetting the garden of the Vestal Virgins!

Without thinking about my fear of heights, we decided to go to the top of St Peters, unbeknownst to me, it would involve a claustrophobic, spiral staircase (spiral stairs are also another of my daft fears!), however the view from the top was well worth the incredibly slow climb!

The view from the top of St Peters

The Trevi Fountain

Me on the Spanish Steps - yes in a dress!

Outside the Pantheon

Me in the Pantheon doorway

The Pantheon ceiling

Me in the Vatican Museum garden. Those people weren't really taking pictures of me - although it looks like it!










My favourite place we visited had to be the Pantheon. It looks plain and like a giant stone building from the outside, but when you step through the (absolutely giant) doorway, it’s a huge perfectly circular marble and stone chapel! The ceiling was rather spectacular too!

The Sistine Chapel was breath taking. It has to be the most incredible things I’ve ever seen. It’s a good job that you’re not allowed to take pictures of it (although some of the Americans didn’t seem to realise the picture of a camera with a cross over it meant ‘no photos’ and the rules applied to them too, and they had to be shouted at by the guards) as no camera could ever do it justice and produce a picture of it as beautiful as it really is.


Rome is definitely one of the most beautiful and amazing cities on earth. Not only for the sights, but also for the food, the wine and the relaxed atmosphere. Not that we go to do much relaxing with all the places I wanted to visit! (LOG’s face dropped a bit when I presented him with a list in response to his question “so what things did you want to visit?”) One thing I will say – make sure you have really comfy shoes. The streets are cobbled and flip flops just hurt after a while!

This weekend I took part in a hen night for my lovely friend Lisa - and a big thanks to the other Lisa for organising it. We took a limo to Norwich - I confess, I'm not a limo fan at all - but then it turned up and was not just your average Lincoln towncar, but a Range Rover! By this point the champagne cockatils were flowing anyway so to be honest I wouldn't have cared if it was a seicento.

So, to explain the rubber duck thing......... the boys of our social circle have a little game that involves a golf ball and drinking (!). One golf ball is available and if it is put into your drink while you're holding it, you have to drink your drink in one. Yes, in one. If however your drink is on the table the person who did the dunking has to drink their own drink in one.

Now, this is clearly a game built for men. However some bright spark decided we should do it, but with a rubber duck. And the rules changed vastly - if the duck was in your drink, that was it - down the neck it went. I believe I was 'ducked' about 7 times and most of those were cocktails. At times the duck would be in your drink before it was even delivered to you. And then the nasty people behind the bar stole him! After much arguing (read: Rachel shouting at the barmaid) he was returned.

Now - children - this sort of drinking is not big and not clever. The duck game should not be repeated. I vaguely recall getting home in the limo (covering myself and the leather interior in Corona somehow) but little else. A big thanks to the other half for putting up with the state that I was in yesterday! There would be pictures, but they are that repulsive I care not to show them.

Thanks to all the girls for a cracking weekend - the stag do is on Friday and coincidentally I'll be at the same place for a different occasion, so methinks a few golf balls will be coming with me to cause chaos............




I wont go into how

If you were there on the day you may be aware that we were running numerous competitions to win anything from a magnum of champage, £250 cash to a year's free insurance with Adrian Flux!! So I just thought I'd give a little mention to our winners!...
