This weekend has seen me on a whistle stop tour of the North to try to fit in seeing a whole load of people before I head off (8 days!!!)


Since Thursday morning last week, my trusty suitcase and I have been to...

Whitham, Leeds, Silsden, Ilkley, Huddersfield (long tongue scrog lane!!), Birstall (whoop), Morley and Scarborough...phew.

Highlights of the trip include

1) Roast Dinner and Balderdash at Sharon and Korn's.















2) Coffees and important chats in Starbucks

3)Getting my hair cut by my old (and favourite) hairdresser

4)Hula hooping and ski jumping on the wii fit at Jill and Chris' house























5) Cow and Calf rocks and Emma's amazing photography skills (!) and a drive from Huddersfield to Birstall...via Barnsley (only Emma could do it)












6) A wicked chat with Em and Jen about...well...everything

7) an inappropriate lunch invitation

8) Getting to Morley and being able to sit with Mrs Raine, one of my favourite all time people.

9) Hanging out with Ben and his housemates (check out http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MlghJ97vOkI and http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=C6j3tobhiuw Ben's the drummer and the other band members are his housemates/housemates girlfriend. The video is a collaboration with some media students who made the video and performance students who play the two leads in the video)

10) Getting a free train ride (instead of a hideously long bus journey) home :-)

All in all a lovely weekend.
