Back To The Island

69.Trip on Maid of the Forth ...COMPLETED

A short time ago (a few weeks? I forget!) the Mister and I headed over the Forth Road Bridge for South Queensferry. There we boarded the small passenger ferry and set sail for Inchcolm Island. It was a warm beautiful day but too early in the season to be busy.

We saw grey seals and a variety of seabirds including a solitary puffin. The island itself was so peaceful and a great place for little imaginations to run riot. Boarding the boat back to the mainland one little nipper reported he had failed to find the pirates treasure!!

The Mister and I roamed the abbey ruins, climbed the incline to the WW2 guntower remains and dodged some rather aggressive nesting seagulls (think 'Hitchcock The Birds'..perhaps I exaggerate).

Make Me Over?

27.Apply to Gok Wan for makeover! ...no progress..chickened out.

I sent and received an application form to be on Gok's show 'How To Look Good Naked' after reading they were doing a 'special' for disabled folks. Upon receiving the form I felt uncomfortable sending photos of myself in my undies to some office and not a particular liason person. It stated you could phone them and they'd get back to you. I left half a dozen messages and NOTHING. It didn't leave me confident...so I failed to submit the form. Needless to say the series is on TV at the moment. I haven't watched it yet.

Done

12.Get a photo/article printed in mag ...COMPLETED

I won 'Letter Of The Month' which was printed in Decembers issue of 'Simply Knitting' magazine. I wrote in about the Pudsey Bear that I had knitted from a pattern in a previous issue. I did a Guess the Birthday with the bear and raised some money for charity.

Not only was I really pleased to see my letter and photo in print but I was delighted to receive £30 in vouchers for an online yarn shop!
