i think we can pretty much safely say i am jobless at the moment...the old mill don't seem to ever have any available shifts anymore. cheers guys.

i have been dilly dallying here and there since i last posted.
last week i went to tuscany with 19 members of my family, it was interesting! but not exactly the most enjoyable of holidays. the weather was also unbearably hot at around 40 degrees every day and humidity.

i had to get up at 4am on saturday morning to catch our flight which was at 11.20 (why did i have to get up so early!?)
katie and i tried to keep ourselves amused in the car on the way to gatwick







we got to gatwick before the rest of the family so we wandered around and grabbed some tea, then we finally met all the family and went through security where i got felt up AGAIN, i cannot remember one time where they have ever just let me walk through. i always make the light go off!!

charlotte and i tried to settle our plane nerves so we took some pictures whilst flying










we arrived at pisa and cor was it hot!
here are some pictures from the week:








these were uncle tony's tourist shorts!! you were warned:




the night before we went home we went to this medieval festival in the local town called certaldo, all the hippies and magical peope came out it was fantastic! i'd never seen anything like it before. there were all these market stalls with the most bizarre ornaments and sculptures.
every other person had dreads and tartan trousers on, katie and i felt weirdly at home!
