The Beaulieu National Motor Museum

Today we're visiting the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in the New Forest.


AC Shelby Cobra 427 - Seven Litre V8 - what a beast!
 

Em's car is blue (it's a TVR Vixen S3 by the way)
 

Slightly used Aston Martin DBS - one careful Mr Bond owner!
 

A real racing car - Graham Hill's Lotus 49
 

Now I've flown in a few things but I draw the line at this Top Gear contraption.
 

On the monorail
 

 

This one needs lots of TLC. 

Our Wedding Day

After all the preparation the day has finally arrived!!


Emma gets Mum's and Rachael's help to lace up her dress.

Making Wedding Favours

 

Em spent hours making the "Love Birds" for our wedding favours

We Will Rock You!

We've come to the Dominion in London for the 10th Anniversary Performance of We Will Rock You. What an awesome show - we even had a solo performance from Brian May!
 

Hard Rock Cafe - it would've been rude not to.
 

Em finds some Queen memorabilia at last - Sheer Heart Attack!
This is the third album by the British rock group Queen, released on 1st November 1974. It was produced by Queen and Roy Thomas Baker and distributed by EMI. The album..... ok, ok enough Queen trivia thank you Em!
 

 

No queue's today?

Kiki Gardening Again

We left Kiki at Warren Bay Campsite whilst we went to Zakynthos. Unfortunately they did not have a hardstanding available so we had to leave her on the grass. Heavy rain before and whilst we were away made the grass a bit boggy.


Dug in up to her axles
 

The campsite staff brought their tractor to help.
 

Gently does it.
 

 

Nearly back onto the tarmac

Our Last Day

Sadly we're at the end of our fabulous week here in Zakynthos. Our vitamin D levels and our tan's are topped up ready for the big day in June.


More wild flowers.
 

A tiny chapel
 

 

A pretty Greek apartment with a stunning sea view - maybe next time?

Emmy's Fire

We spotted this rather elaborate performance the last time we ate in this restaurant and Em decided she wanted some of that!


This Greek dish is Kleftiko which is slow roasted lamb with lemon, cinamon and vegetables.
 

A tray of alcohol, a Greek waiter and a zippo!
 

 

Em tucks into her "Fire" - with a glass or two of local rose wine to wash it down.

The Blue Caves

Today we're visiting the Blue Caves which are on the North Eastern coast of Zakynthos


Our Glass Bottom Boat
 

Inside our first cave - the sunlight shining through the water makes things look blue.
 

Lots of Natural Arches in the chalky rocks

 

Look blue hands and feet - our driver!
 

We were there!
 

There's the Blue water
