Remembering Jimmy

I made a post back on 11th November 2024 to say that our friend Jimmy had passed away on the 7th of November 2024. He was killed on his Motorbike. Today would have been his 68th Birthday. So I would like to post photos from our 2 trips to Amsterdam and remember him.

First from our trip in 2023.

And a few from 2024.

The stairs in the hotel were very steep!!

And finally Jimmy with the biker jacket be bought when we were there.

RIP in Jimmy. 

Trip To London In May 2023

Been meaning to post these for a while now! We went to London in May 2023 to see Sparks. I absolutely love Sparks and had seen them a few times proir to this. Here are a few photos from that trip.

 

The gig was at the famous Royal Albert Hall, as you can see from the photo it was very busy! It was a great gig and considering how old both Ron and Russell are, both were amazing. Russell was jumping and dancing about the stage like a 30 year old! I think they are still very talented and still manage to produce clever material. Do any of you like Sparks? What is your favourite era or album? Have you seen them live?

Going Back In Time - A Visit to Chessington in April 2023

 

We visit Chessington last April and these are a few photos from that visit. Chessington is both a zoo and theme park with lots of rides. It is near London, so a long drive from Central Scotland!

Going Back In Time - 22nd February 2021

These are all from 22nd February 2021.

 

These were all taken on my older phone: HUAWEI P20 Pro.

So back in time we go! A year and half in fact! The little green fellow who is starring in a few of the photos is Trevor. He is a turtle and we adopted him from London Zoo. I named him after a famous British actor called Trevor Eve!

Going Back In Time - 3rd December 2021

These are all from 3rd December 2021. 

So yesterday was okay but the evening and today both have been a write-off. I inadvertently gave both myself and my partner food poisoning :-O At first when we were both ill, I thought it was a bug but my daughter was fine and we usually get things altogether! Then I realised it was my fault jeez! I had made soup in the slow cooker and had never used a slow cooker before....it was a vegan lentil soup. Well needless to say I won't be making soup that way again! I was reading up on the dangers of slow cookers and apparently if not used right....you could end up ill.....I am testament to that. Never have I been ill with my own cooking!!!!! I ain't the brightest am I :-| Over the worst of it now thankfully!

Going Back In Time - 2nd December 2021

As I have lots of photos to share, I thought I'd start a new feature and post ones from the past. These photos will all be from the same date! So to start with we have the 2nd of December 2021. My daughter has just started childcare (or nursery as we call it over here) so I had all this free time and I had only recently got the Samsung S21 Ultra back in early November. So the following are my first proper photos with the phone.

Fast forward to today and I managed another 6 mile walk. It was raining on and off but very mild. It is starting to look a lot like autumn now and I see some of the shops have Christmas stuff in already!!!! And my bad, I ordered some Christmas craft stuff today!
