Been a year since we saw Madge 'Live'

Its a year ago this week that we stayed in the hellhole in Cardiff the weekend we went to see Madonna. I thought I would post this YouTube clip as it was my favourite song of the whole night and is a remix of 'Like a Prayer' with Meck's 'Feels Like Home'. I think Madge called it 'Feels like a Prayer'. I think the version we heard in Cardiff on her opening night was less gospelly than this and more clubby, but I may be wrong. Anyway, the Meck song is just awesome anyway (one of my faves to throw some shapes to) and Like a Prayer just goes so well with it. Enjoy!

Last copied post from old blog. This was my first encounter of one of my sporting heroes. The delumptious David Beckham whilst he was still the Captain of England.

This was taken (in haste - hence lighting is poor) at my first ever England football game. It was England vs Azerbaijan at St James Park in Newcastle (World Cup qualifier in 2005 before we choked in Germany and Beckham cried when he resigned - as did I). David took a corner and I was about halfway up the crowd. I couldn't get my camera to focus well so its a bit grainy, but I was dead chuffed I got it!!

Lulworth Cove Dorset

Again found these on an old blog. These were taken a few years ago. Made me think how nice it would be to actually have a summer time that didn't suck! (God, take note - we haven't had a decent summer here in the UK for ages - give us a break!)

This little place I found completely enchanting. Its like stepping back in time and I only found out it was here as I was down this way with work. Its known as the Jurassic Coast as its where the land collided with other lands thousands of years ago. As a result, the cliffs have vertical timelines in the soil and there are loads of fossils. I found a tiny one just sitting on the beach. Its a lovely quaint little place and on a summer's day the water is beautiful. Durdle Door is over the ridge and throughout the year you can hear the boom of the Gunnery Tank Training up on the hill. These were taken in August 2004.

Old school pix

Been moving stuff around from an old blog and found these. Ah to be young and youthful again with bad fashion sense (though I LOVED my Adidas jacket!)

Technically I didn't take these (credit to Louise Bay, nee Pelican) but I posted them on here as they brought back some memories of school in the 80's!
