Yesterday we went for a beautiful sunset kissed walk round John O Gaunt’s Castle, near Harrogate with some friends of ours and their Polish Mountain Dog. An unseasonably mild afternoon where the reservoir was like glass and the golden light of the first day of winter clock’s sunset was incredible. It’s now Halloween. All Hallows Eve. Hallow be the word… Read more →
Slap bang down town Harrogate, two guys have all of a sudden found themselves more famous that Rudy (sorry – Harrogate in joke). In a very convincing bid to raise shed loads of money for St. Michaels Hospice, these guys have brought a slice of reality TV to town. I caught wind of them in Lancashire on Thursday when someone… Read more →
Nothing much to report since my last post really. This particular post was inspired by looking at other blogs and thinking, I’ve not blogged about nothing in particular for a while. Maybe it’s a blogger thing. Looking back over the past wee while, dragondrop has been somewhat of a review site. Somewhat de personalised views of the outside world. Observations…. Read more →
He may be 13 today but I’m pleased to see that he still has this reaction to Jelly Babies originally uploaded by DragonDrop. The big highlight of the now is that we’ve got a teenager all of a sudden. Felix has turned 13. Lovely morning this morning of cards and prezzies. Xbox is the big un – clubbed together prezzy… Read more →
Jay and Elsie – more of my photo’s tagged Elsie. We visited our pup to be yesterday. An adorable springador / labradinger / labradaniel (the elaborate monikers for a Labrador / Springer Spaniel Cross). An experience akin to going for a 20 week scan or something. You get to see her, but not quite time to take her home. We… Read more →
Perhaps his broad appeal and accessibility is behind the fact that he has not only a gallery honoring his name, but a theatre, a car park and a shopping centre also. I’d had “take family to the Lowry, Manchester” on my todo list tagged #rainyday for about 2 years. Perhaps like pretty much everyone, he appealed to me. His ubiquitous,… Read more →
This Friday, Ben “What’s your beef” Osmond, a DragonDrop Adventure Shirt and a bunch of intrepid adventureres and sets off for the Sahara. He’s raising funds for a very worthy cause. In his own words.. “I am taking part in the Sue Ryder Sahara Trek, which consists of 100km trek through the desert! This is something my father would never have… Read more →
Here’s the latest DragonDrop Adventure Shirt shot – from Ali and Marcus. This icon of obsession, from a film I obsessed about – Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind – is Devils Tower in Crook County, Northeastern Wyoming. For those that haven’t seen the film – go and watch it immediately – and you’ll see why people re create the form of… Read more →
Seriously – I thought we were done with summer. Last weekend I thought – it’s not going to get warmer than this until next year, then WAMMO – the highest temperatures on record, back to back for several days in a row. 30°C was reported in Yorkshire on October the 1st. I’m so glad we’d planned a picnic, down by… Read more →
