New Years 2010!!!

New Years Eve 2010!! Liverpool!!
Dinner at one of our favorites, Bistro Pierre. Delicious, fresh French food!



Then we went for a few drinks...





Then we went on to Liverpool ferris wheel

No arms out the window, but big green hard-ons are permitted!

These two photos are titled 'TIPPY TOP!!' Where we'd scream when we came to the 'tippy top' of the Ferris Wheel.


There are no photos for the rest of the night, but we had a few more drinks, went back to the room, had some champagne, Dad set off a 'Party Cannon' and then proceeded to vaccuum at 2am.

The Lakes


Bridget wanted to get real English tea and scones, so we went up to the Lake district and found a little tea house, and had hot cup of tea, and a hot rum buttered scones with real cream, which I thought, mmmeh, ok, and then I tasted it, and it was DELICIOUS!!! and I haven't stopped thinking about it since!!! mmmm....
and I have to say, these beautiful pictures of Lake Derwentwater in Keswick were all taken by Toby, I can't take credit for them



Blackpool!

Blackpool!! West coast of England, used to be a popular sea side resort for Brits, now is a very tacky town full of casinos, shops with dirty souvenirs, stag and hen party's and an amusement park!

Blackpool tower (they think it's like the Eiffel Tower)

Toby made Blackpool look beautiful!!

Looks really warm doesn't it?


Oh Val!

Boxing Day

Lazy Boxing Day...wandered around Wigan, crappy little Lancashire town, but it has a tradition of dressing up in "Fancy Dress" (ie Costumes) on Boxing day.

Some weird ancient porno pictures all over the pub.

Christmas Day!!

Merry Christmas!! This is a HUGE care package from Canada full of Goodies for me and Grant!!
Clamato! Caesars for me!!

Combining two of Grant's favorite things, Frank's Red Hot and Beef Jerky!!

Julius is still Canadian at heart!








Everyone got a scarf!!




It wouldn't be Christmas without Toblerone!!

Out for a Christmas Stroll! You can see all the snow on the ground, the most snow in Preston for 20 years!






Attack of the Brussel Sprouts!!

Grant's magnificent turkey!!
