Rod Stewart concert

This concert was originally planned for June but cancelled due to a throat problem so a further date was arranged at the O2 for July 11^th – and what an incredible evening – but before that and to make a day of it I planned to use the full day to enjoy one of the great sunny days of the year – visited Kensington Palace Park first – just checking out the palace and park – then onto Sticky Fingers ( a restaurant owned by Bill Wyman of the stones) – and the onto the O2 – what is now considered as the best venue in the world – can’t argue there – Rod was majestic for two hours of non-stop live pure entertainment – his last night of the tour and presenting two of his 8 kids on stage – and back on the 11.30 to Newark for 00.54 – long day – wonderful day out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My early life – planning

I now have the essential places to visit so it just needs a date – should be interesting – the first house I lived in which was grans does not exist anymore so I’ll have to see if there are any archive photos

Executive BBQ

After 3 years of planning and reconfiguring the modular set of breeze blocks the executive bbq comes to fruition – made from bits and pieces with minimal cost - breeze blocks/firebricks/pine bed/wooden decking/tiles

Newark Bake Off

Winner of the biscuit section with a chocolate covered gluten free biscuit which I have named “The Newark Cobble” – a plus as I beat conventionally made biscuits - the biscuits melted before I photograph them - next time your passing I'll cobble up a few

Moscow City Ballet performing Swan Lake at the Nottingham Royal Concert Hall

What a wonderful evening which started with a visit to a Sushi restaurant with Rachael. Here are a few photos – not during the performance of course – there are some occasions when this is definitely not on – just sit back and enjoy the performance.
