This is the 100th post since I started the blog!  Amazing.

I know its been very quiet for the last few weeks on here but if, by my silence, you have drawn the conclusion that there has been nothing much going on, you would be very much mistaken - its been chaos!

Project 52 is continuing still, not long to go now until it is complete.

I have attended a kite workshop (making a Sode kite and a Tulip spinner), visited the little men down in Shoreham (and their parents!) been to Ely Folk Festival (had a go at Morris dancing!!), and am just recovering from a weekend Christmas party (don’t say it) before heading up north(ish) to take part in Cleethorpes carnival and a spot of archery this weekend.

I have photos of all but the Christmas party (it went so quickly….) and will post them on here just as soon as I can get my camera connected to the computer - I think we have usb hub problems at the moment. 

As far as the Christmas party goes, the weekend sort of passed in a bit of a daze, very little sleep, a touch too much alcohol (although I was surprisingly sober on the Saturday night) and a whole load of stuff to do during the weekend mean that memories are not what they could be, and photos are non-existent - at least from my own point of view.  I am sure I will update the Kings Lynn Plus blog (www.kingslynnplus.org.uk) shortly with an account of the weekend , and I know a few of our members have photos I can use on that site if you want to see them.  What I do know is that after taking part in the National Rounders (on the losing side unfortunately), I was still suffering several days later - who says exercise is good for you?  I was also pleasantly surprised, and this is a very random thought, that my home-made beefburgers held together nicely on the BBQ instead of doing a disappearing act in pieces through the grill as home-made burgers usually seem to.  Told you it was a random thought!  I also improvised a rather nice recipe for a sweet pastry for mince pies, and made (yet another) Chocolate Guiness cake, which did its usual disappearing act before I ate much of it!

The summer party was the 5th weekend out of a total of 9 where I have been/will be either out or staying away from home all weekend - I do like keeping busy, but I can’t help thinking that next weekend we are actually at home for the whole weekend (which is looking to be August bank holiday - a whole three days at home!) it will come as something of a relief.

Photos to follow asap….off to PC World now to go buy a new USB hub I think!

(and yes I do know I still haven’t posted the recipes I promised!)
