Royal Norfolk Show 2008

on Thursday we all went of to the Royal Norfolk Show, for those of you that don't know this is the county's major agricultural show. We thought it was about time we went as we have lived in Norfolk 7 years next week & have never been.

A promised I have been out & about with my camera before work to add some of the fabulous elephants to my blog.

This is just 17 out of the 53 lifesize baby elephants that are currently out on the streets of Norwich. When I find more I will add there pictures.

Harvey had just woken up & wondered if Daddy had left him any dinner

I love this picture of Harvey in the ball pond, it's a bit arty.

Abi can spend hours on the 2p machines in the arcade with just a couple of pounds.

Dan on the other hand can spend £'s on the time crisis machine in just minutes.

A teenager at last

Well Abi became a teenager on saturday


I cant believe that its already been 13 years, it seems like just yesterday.
She had a lovely day excepting the two visits to PC World to return her birthday present, not once but twice. She had a laptop and both had dead pixels on the screen.
The third one seemed okay, wont boot up properley and seems like somebody else had already used it has a password already installed on it. so they can have that one back as well on Tuesday & I will choose a completely different brand.
So she is practicing on the Wii fit
She did have a nice surprise last night to end her birthday a new kitten arrived.

Introducing our newest addition.

Talulah Mae

I have always wanted a grey cat, we already have two cats & a Yorkshire terrier dog, so Talulah Mae is the newest addition to our family.
She arrived last night on Abi's 13th birthday.
Someone we know told as a few weeks ago that her sisters cat had a litter of kittens and some of them were grey. Last night her son knocked and asked if we still wanted a grey kitten, 10 minutes later he was back with this tiny bundle in his arms. We had no kitten food, so paul had to go out & get some.
She has settled well with the dog & my tabby cat Bayleigh Boo, but my black cat Sassy keeps hissing at her.
The only problem is I think she was a bit young to leave home as she has a very runny bottom & is not yet cleaning herself properly, so i have spent the day wiping a runny bum, I thought those days were over!! I have now given her chicken & boiled rice.
She is so cute, I just hope everything settles back down soon.
