Dens are cool!!!

Or else!!!

Check it out, 1 bedroomed, studio living, everything the single man could want.

Reckon if it was in London this place would go for £250k easy!!!!

Hang 'em up

My Dad has injured himself playing football (for the over 35's). He has torn his ankle ligaments that were supporting a piece of broken bone from a previous broken ankle. Funny thing is he doesn't remember ever breaking his ankle!!!!
Think its about time he hung his boots up and stopped planning to buy a new pair of Puma Kings!!!

With a cheeky grin

Been practising my pose for the camera.

Nice shoes

Say cheese!!!!!

Should I open both eyes?

Isabelle is 2

It was my cousin Isabelle's 2nd birthday on the 28th, and a few days before we got together to eat a pig flavoured birthday cake!!!

She doesn't look too happy about blowing the candle out though!

Hanging out in the bar.

Roll out the deck chairs, its summer!!!!!

Dear deer

Had a trip out to see the deers at Dunham Massey, with my friend Joseph.

Here we are after a spot of lunch...oink, oink!!!
Me and Joseph spent some our early days together in the special care unit of Hope Hospital, wasn't too sure about him then but he's actually a decent lad!!!

Here are Joseph's Mum and Dad, Jane and David. They brought loads of tasty food for the picnic and to cap it off David is a mad keen United fan!!!

Pigeon update

Bad news on the pigeon front. My Dad checked on it before we went to bed last night and everything seemed ok, unfortunately this morning the poor bird had passed away, funeral details will be published in the Advertiser and Manchester Evening News.
R.I.P. pigeon.

Catch the pigeon

Me and Dad spotted an injured pigeon in the garden today, it looked like it had been in a fight and couldn't fly, so we put it in a box and gave it some food and water to try and make it better. It is resting in the medical ward/shed so no cats can attack it. I will report back on how the bird is getting on.

The original Red Devils

While United were busy drawing their first home game of the new season, my Mum took me to the famous Willows to watch Salford Reds, the original Red Devils. This was Salford's last home league game and they destroyed Bately Bulldogs 46-0 and were presented with the trophy for winning the league.Check out the trackie...Pride of the City!!!!

Still unsure about grown men chasing an egg around, just seems that you need pace and power, where is the skill like in football?
You can vote on which you prefer Football or Rugby League on the right hand side of my blog.

Birthday number 2

Its been a long time since I blogged and I must apologise, so its time to get back on it.
Today is an appropriate day to start blogging again as it is the 2nd anniversary of my original due date and also 31 years to the day that the great Elvis Presley allegedly passed away.

As most of you are aware I was born 6 weeks early, so a good place to start catching up is with some pics from my 2nd birthday.

On the morning of my birthday I had lots of presents to open, one really caught my eye, a drum kit from Gran and Grandad Smith. Safe to say my Mum and Dad were well chuffed!!!

It may look like I am playing along to the Tweenies, but in actual fact its I am the Resurrection by The Stone Roses!!!

Can't quite get the last bit of the instrumental bit.

Putting my all into it....come on, lets rock!!!!

Unfortunately the summer sun had left us and it absolutely belted down. So me, my cousin Izzy and my buddy Joseph set up an art group inside.

Cake, you can't beat it....

I am sure that the observant viewers out there may well have noticed that it is exactly the same type of cake as last year, come on Mum and Dad are you trying to force me into football or something. I have no doubt that my Dad will let me make my own decisions when it comes to liking sport or not!!!!

Saddleworth, Lancashire

Had a trip out with the folks to catch up with Finn Gladwell and family.

Check me and Finn out on The Hog!!!

Finn living dangerously, one welly on a slide, its just foolish!!!

I'm not convinced that Finn's Dad would react in time if there was an accident...watch the swing at all times Daddio!!!

Wonder why my Dad told me to have a good hard look at these ropes...

don't you D.O.R. me!!!!

Who is this playground for kids or dads?

Loving it!!!

Showing Dad who is in charge!!!

Grow your own

This year my Dad decided to start to grow his own veggies. Here I am doing a Morrissey impression with a carrot fresh from the garden.

Wonder if Esther Rantzen would be interested in this!!!

Pretty good selection I'd say, now taking orders for next year!!

Helping my Dad look for 'tatties.

So versatile mash, roast or fry!!!

Summer fun

Remember when the sun used to shine in summer?

Cauliflower ears!!

Got to take precautions because as tv's big cook, little cook say its 'Hot, hot, hot'.

Sun block as worn by Shane Warne.

Loving the sun.

Dip those feet!!

Crazy headgear

Its amazing what you can fashion from used envelopes.

My Dad as competitive as ever takes some advice from the new fashion guru Gok Wan!!

Dad still can't quite get the hang of changing the old nappy!!!

The Zoo

On the hunt for my favourite animal the elephant at Chester Zoo. Have brought my model to compare in case of imposters.

Don't think so, too spotty,

Big rear end...check, grey...check, trunk...negative,

Maybe through these bushes,

What do we have here, nope, just like Dad when he needs a shave,

More spots,

Could be a long day!!!


Hold on, think we have a winner, you beauty!!!!

Just can't seem to get my pet elephant in gear!!!!
