Shaz was on a pier taking these Photos for Pic's website. They did go back and collect her afterwards but in the meantime they sped up and down the coast - all for the camera!

Silently watching
Alan bloody McCabe, how the hell are you? "Tis I, the mad Cathster from the MDDUS. Thought you might be wondering who the heck was watching you that you didn't know! As you can see I've had a change of name. Decided to trade in old husband for new one!!! Have really enjoyed reading your blog. Amanda told me about it as I'll hopefully be moving down under sometime this year (hubby's an Aussie). It's given me loads of ideas about places to visit. Keep it up. Cathy :o)
