Family Fun At The Seaside For Drive-it Day 2016 !

EllaSunnyHunny2016_6
Yesterday Rocky, the girls, and I, had a lovely day out in our Mini-Moke doll car, winding our way through the scenic East Anglian countryside, accompanying HAMOC – Huntingdon Area Mini Owners Club – www.HAMOC.co.uk on their day trip to the sandy beach of Hunstanton, as part of Drive-it Day 2016.
Here we are in this piccy, having just arrived at our destination too !
Considering it’s the end of April now, you’d think we’d have a reasonable chance of some nice weather for this excursion of ours too. However it was rather more chilly and blustery than we anticipated when we arrived at the seaside. In fact, with the northerly winds etc it was supposed to only feel about 1 degree … Brrrrr !!
As much as Ruby and Emma had been looking forward to playing on the beach, once we parked up we quickly decided that it would be better to pursue some indoor activities rather than brave the near frosty conditions outside. So we spent our day in the amusement arcade instead, mainly on the 2 penny shover machines … Which I must admit amused the girls no end, thank heavens. Our efforts were not in vain either, as with many 2p’s invested, Rocky skillfully managed to win a dinosaur toy for our sweet little daughters, making him the hero of the day in their eyes … Bless !
After a few very enjoyable hours of family fun though, it was time to get back in the car again and head back home in convoy with the other Mini’s.
We had a wonderful day out despite the weather, and it was a great way to spend Drive-it Day with family and friends, which I hope to repeat again next year as well.
Perhaps next time we go to the beach the temperatures might be a touch warmer though … Fingers crossed ðŸ˜‰

Supporting Football Shirt Friday !

Ella_FootballShirtFriday2016_4
Today is Football Shirt Friday in the UK, which is a charity event encouraging people to wear their footy shirts to work etc, and donate £2 for the privilege. The money goes to the Bobby Moore fund at Cancer Research UK, which helps beat bowel cancer. All money raised goes towards funding world class research that has the potential for the greatest impact in ensuring more people survive bowel cancer.
Us dolls are always up for mucking in with a good cause, and seeing as so many of the menfolk in our community are footy fans themselves they were eager to take part in this very worthwhile event … They even convinced ME to join in and wear a borrowed football shirt too ! Shocking, hey. But seeing as it’s for charity, how could I ever refuse.
If you’d like to know more about the event, or the work of the Booby Moore foundation with Cancer Research UK, you can find out more on their website here … www.footballshirtfriday.org

My tribute to the Queen - 

Celebrating her 90th birthday today !

Ella_Queens90th_7
I just wanted to pass on my esteemed best wishes to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her 90th Birthday.
Her Majesty has served her people with grace, dignity, honour, and respect, and I’m sure will do so for many more years to come. She is an amazing woman who has always put her royal duties and the best interests of her country before her own. She is an example to us all !
