On Saturday we joined Philip the Entrepreneur to watch the Cambridge V Oxford    Lacrosse tournament, on Parkers Piece.

There were many games, men’s, women’s and mixed, all very enjoyable to watch.

Philips newest venture is Equity Fingerprint which can be seen on you tube.

Many Thanks for the delicious lunch, and invite to the champagne party in May….. I may have a dress by then 🙂

If you ever find yourself in Cambridge on the first Friday of the month, be sure to drop into the Cellar Bar 8, just behind the Grafton centre.

For one night each month this venue is transformed into a small corner of Africa, as the band Afro Tema take over for the evening.

Afro Tema’s music ranges from modern west African funk to languid Reggae,and is definitely infectious.

So if you want to experience something different it’s well worth a detour from your usual haunts.

I see late last night my counter on my blog reached 10,000.

It made me feel real pleased with myself…..as I have only been blogging since Christmas day.

Its caused a few fights in my house, as I share my PC with my son, but blogging has brought me nothing but pleasure.

Not only do I enjoy writing my blog but I love reading other blogs too,I have learnt so much in the past 2 months !

I love reading all your comments and I have had some lovely e-mails full of words of encouragement.

So Thanks to Geoff for making me believe I could do it, and Thanks to everyone else who takes the time to read it and leave comments.

Now I just have to make sure I can keep it up, mind you I am addicted now so should be no problem.

I have decided to add a new page to my blog, one for all my favorite Recipes.

Don’t be afraid, they wont make you all fat, because some are from my Slimming world cook books , not that you would know by the taste.

So do take a look and try some of the Recipes , be good if you could leave a Recipe or two for me aswell.
