A couple of oddities to start (no, not me'n'Matt)!
 |
| Matt & I on TV seen whilst at the caravan: the transmission of the League of Gentlemen concert we went to last September. It's only fair to mark Martin too as it was his treat! |
 |
| Our favourite Keighley pub, Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker Ale now named after it! |
We took Alfie into Sheffield centre one day on our last weekend.
 |
| A bright welcome for us in the Winter Garden... |
 |
| ...and outside, young Alf posing in front of one of the city's many steel 'sculptures'... |
 |
| ... (remember, Sheffield was the centre of stainless steel production in the UK). |
 |
| Phil joined us too, not just to play in the fountains with his nephew |
 |
| We later called in at a 'pet' shop, complete with snakes... |
 |
| ...and dragon-like creatures. I'm not sure I'd call them pets though! |
 |
| When are you taking your drivers licence test, Alfie? |
Next day back to Portsmouth
 |
| This photo was taken in Southsea for Sacha who's besotted with pirates! |
 |
| Taken from the English Heritage website: Royal Garrison Church was built in about 1212 by the Bishop of Winchester as part of a hospital and hostel for pilgrims. Used as an ammunition store after the Reformation, it became part of the governor of Portsmouth’s house during Elizabeth I’s reign. The church was restored in the 19th century, and although the nave was badly damaged in a 1941 firebomb raid on Portsmouth, the chancel is still roofed and furnished. Fine 20th-century stained-glass windows depict scenes from the Second World War and from the church’s own history. |

| But look what's arriving: our overnight ferry to St Malo |
