If it is the one I am thinking of...she went to this convention called Otakon, which is a Japanese Anime Convention. She is into anime and manga. Anime is the video version and manga is the book version. People go and dress up in costumes of the characters in the books and videos. They meet the voice overs and have panel discussions and see new videos coming out soon. They also have video games and a venders hall. It lasts for three days. You can find any of her videos on youtube by searching for her screen name which is "bornfreeeee." There might be one on there of our cat Ralphie (who passed on) licking a lollipop. |

We used to stay at a place called Sea Farm Camp in a caravan which had originally been a railway carriage. I can remember clambering down into Thornwick Bay and spending hours just digging the gravel for sea glass. In those days instead of the glass just being misty green as nowadays, the colours were like a rainbow - reds, blues, pinks and browns. We used to make a game of it and pretend we were pirates digging up our buried treasure and carrying it back 'home' along with the primroses which grew in abundance along the path. In the mornings we would go to the farmhouse for the freshest milk, eggs and bread (still warm from the farm kitchen) and we would have the most marvellous breakfasts sat with the door open and the spring sunshine beaming through. Oh for the good old days again. I could go on forever. By the way, Flamborough is famous for it's large juicy crabs (move over Cromer) - so I think I'll go and have a 'Thornwick Bay' breakfast - eggs, toast and a large glass of ice-cold milk. |

It was at Thurstston Shore overlooking the River Dee, with Welsh hills on the horizon |

Sounds like my first wedding Lyn! We had hail and my Dad refused to go out in it because he was disabled and he said he would get too wet so we were 20 minutes late, my ex father-in-law left my ex mother-in-law for a 20 year old 5 days before the wedding then turned up at the church and wailed loudly all the way through. He was a dustman (refuse collector) and guess what the DJ's played at the reception - yes "My Old Man's Dustman"! The marriage only lasted a year to the day! |
