England v Ecuador and patriotic biscuits!

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

We’re waiting for kick-off… they’re justy giving us some interesting facts about Ecuador. They make panama hats and Christina Aguilera’s dad is from Ecuador! Interesting.. I’m not a great one for football knowledge but I know if we lose and get knocked out, the nation will be in mourning and many will cry. That won’t […]

A Weekend of Fathers

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Happy Father’s day to all the fathers! We spent this weekend with both our Dad’s. My family on Saturday, and Sam’s parents today. I like celebrating stuff and I really appreciate my Dad’s support and love and consistency in my life. It was nice to have both my brothers there too. On Saturday we went […]

A picnic with Mr. Darcy

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

Today me, Jenny and Rosie went for a picnic to Chatsworth House. Ok, Mr. Darcy wasn’t actually there. Shame. But the Duchess of Devonshire is and it was still fun! I first met Jenny and Rosie in our first year of uni. We were in the same Halls of Residence. I haven’t seen them for […]

Barbeques and World Cup Fever

Saturday, June 10th, 2006

The Mosaic begins…

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

Last night in a pub in the centre of Sheffield different coloured and shaped pieces came together to have a drink and conversation. I wasn’t sure which pieces of humanity would turn up but some did and it was good!
There were 9 of us last night at our first Mosaic Sheffield ‘thing’. That’s more than […]

Racing for Life

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

We did it! My friends Sarah and Sarah and I just did a 5km run to raise money for cancer research. We’ve raised about £180 and nationwide, women from all over the UK raise £55 million. 10,000 women ran in Sheffield. Incredible. Once of the Sarah’s mum Kay has been through reconstructive surgery as a […]

New hair!

Sunday, June 4th, 2006

For those of you who asked and those who didn’t, here is a picture of my hair after colouring yesterday. It’s quite subtle. I won’t be offended if you can’t tell the difference!

Sunshine and homelessness

Saturday, June 3rd, 2006

Hooray for sunshine! This is more like it. It was warm today and sunny and so nice to be outside. England really is beautiful when the sun shines. Today I met my friend Jo who I’ve not seen for 2 years. We went to Starbucks and sat outside. I got a bit burnt but it […]
