Segway!
I recently took a weekend trip to Madrid. Whilst there I took a 3 hour segway city tour which was just an amazing way to see a city. A highlight of the weekend break: walking will never be the same!

My Chilly night in the Snowhotel
I was fortunate to visit Norway recently on a cruise from Bergen to Kirkenes which culminated in a night in the Snow Hotel in Kirkenes. What a fab place I loved it! I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea and some of my friends thought I was completely mad! But I am so glad I did it.

Bree the Calf
I had an exciting Saturday afternoon when one of the cows in the field at the back of our house gave birth to a gorgeous calf!
I arrived just after she had been born (thankfully I think, as she had to be pulled out hooves first by the farmer with a bizarre contraption!). Paul, the farmer told us that she would stand up after about 20 minutes but after 2 hours she was still lying on the ground with only one attempt to get up. Paul came back later and with much cajoling and force she stood up Bambi-esque and wobbling a lot.
Snow Patrol – Royal Albert Hall
On Wednesday 25th November I went to the Albert Hall to watch a mammoth 3 hour set by Snow Patrol. Firstly: what a venue – such an awesome place and made even better by our seats 3 rows from the front! It was a simple set, but it worked. Gary was incredibly charismatic and he completely engaged with the crowd. And what a voice – in the words of Strictly’s CRH – AMAZING!
