Easter Monday Afternoon...
Well I got off my butt and phoned Karen's daughter to see if we could take Evie and Alex out for the day.
Evie insisted on bringing along her Bratz CD...Three hours of Thump-thump-thump... And screeching...
We got in the car and hit the Bank Holiday traffic jams...
Daft people climbing Roseberry Topping (famous hill in Cleveland).
Alex psyching me up with his own version of Purple Fiction. We had some average Pub food:(...
Helmsley (North Yorkshire Market town). The backstreet is very serene and quiet...
...But the town square usually gets invaded by daytrippers and bikers. All in good humour...
I bought these two well-known figures for a couple of pounds. "What windmills?"

ual!
Lazy evening...
I screamed and guess what?

Nice way to spend a lazy Monday!
I love these magic, fairylike, ancient houses.
Welcome back!
Shyha, welcome back, mate! Long time! England is full of them!
Viking, I'm glad it wasn't wasted!
Suffering suffragettes 3 hours of the Bratz!! Pray tell how do you grapple with les boules with a verre of pastis in hand? That's talent that is.... looks like a good weekend also...
Been meaning to drop in for ages, - this has finally got me here: you MUSTNT miss Dr. Who this week. First episode was a bit pants in places, to be honest, but next week's looks fairly fab, with werewolves included.
Went to bed early rather than watching Peter Kay, being v.v. tired - didn't sleep well, I clearly made the wrong decision.
Lovely pics., and beautiful children.
KG, when I snapped Roseberry Topping, I honestly thought of you cos you mentioned it in one of your posts a long time ago!
Lettuce, glad you dropped in! I shall try and tape it this weekend! Peter Kay was fab especially the outakes!
Tat, just bragging! Shows you that I'm but an amateur! Usually after a couple of rounds of both, "Ah, bugger the boules, let's just get drunk!"
always an 'interesting' trip when youngsters in it :D
btw, it's a very beautiful scenery... and sounds like you had a pretty good easter :)
happy belated easter :)
I always like your road trip stories... I get to tag along but without the Bratz:)))or traffic jam. You are a Dr. Who fan? We all loved the old ones
Iluvnyc, great scenery within 10 minutes of us! And, yes very interesting trip with the Bratzz!
Idahl, Evie said she was going to write back but she's busy revising for her Sats!
The new Dr Who is quite a hit with the ladies, Radio Five Live was saying this afternoon.
Wendy, *smiles*
Still a daft student after all these years!
That side of me is only just under the surface! It pops up regularly to remind me to make every minute count...
Oh wow, I have a lot of catching up to do...when I tried to read your blog over the weekend my pooter slooowed.
So you had a good weekend, eh, Cream? Those children are cute!
Gigi, hasn't our Evie grown up since your birthday in December! Actually for the drawing I'd used a photo of when she was 8.
Wendy, you must be a glutton for punishment! I bet you'll fall asleep halfway!
I was amazed to find Don Quixote and Sancho in Helmsley of all places!
Everything looks so british...hmmm. Nice pics. :)
awesome pics- loving the vibe!!!
oh just commenting on above philosofies- yeah- freud would agree- everything we do stems from a selfish desire- (which is not a bad thing, since whats wrong with pleasing others so that we inturn are pleased ourselves..)
Juliana, it IS Britain:) Thanks!
Ale, is that your Nico you have in mind here?
Beautiful pictures Cream! i really enjoy when you take pix of what you see and where you go!!! Love the above post too, yer so funny...
Thanks, Val!
Well, at least it shows where I am and where I'm going.
