Yesterday was the Great Manchester 10k Run! It was a fabulous day and although I was feeling a little nervous before the start, I really enjoyed it! The buzz of running around the course with people you don’t even know cheering you on and willing you to do well was fantastic! I managed to run in 1 hour 4 mins and 36 seconds which I was pretty pleased with as I had stupidly put myself in the wrong wave and found myself trying to get past people who were walking it. I have managed to raise £345 for Cancer research which I am more than happy with! I can’t wait to run again next year!

I really love attending the vintage fairs, it’s great to meet other designers and to also meet my wonderful customers! I get so many nice comments and really do meet some interesting people!

Please also keep an eye on my blog for vintage fair dates in 2010 I hope to attend lots more of them in Sheffield and Manchester and will have lots of new designs for you to see so remember to check back often!

Last weekend My Mum and Dad came to see us for the weekend. It had been my Mum’s 50th Birthday so we decided to cook a special meal and have a few drinks at ours. During the day on Saturday we did some shopping then we thought we would check out The Manchester Museum. Mark and I had never been and as it’s free to go, so we thought it would be a good day out!

Here are some of the things the museum has to offer. I particularly liked learning about the Egyptians and the Reptile Tanks!

A couple of the Egyptian Tombs

A rather fierce looking Tiger, we couldn’t believe how big this was!

We had a Fab weekend, it was so nice to see Mum and Dad and show them some Manchester sights! But we were ready for another weekend after and slept well on Sunday night!
