    and the fish man has been so smoked haddock and scrambled eggs for me.

    Had a great day out yesterday with Elli, Elli's friend Jack and Jess at the butterfly/farm/birds of prey centre in Sheffield (see pics on facebook)

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    This is a different one, My Mum & Dad usually take the kids to tropical world in Leeds and the one in Sheffield was much better, far more to do and a large farm and birds of prey as well.
    the kids could actually handle the animals too.

    There was much mirth when a huge butterfly landed on a bald man's head in the butterfly house.
    It the decided to walk down and perch on his glasses, he was cross eyed looking at the thing.
    The kids were all in absolute hysterics by this point.
